What 6 owners told NHTSA about the 2025 Toyota Sequoia

Right rear passenger window failed. Came out to my vehicle at 4pm 5/4/2026 at work in a secure lot. Right rear passenger window appeared exploded out. Almost all of the glass was on the ground, only some of the tempered glass fell in onto the seat. Took many pictures showing the glass bowed out. Filed a police report. Police found no foul play, also noting the nature of the damage protruding out. Police are reviewing parking lot camera footage and no foul play has been indicated to date. Took picture of dashboard temperature in the vehicle showing 73 degrees outside, peak temp reports for Batavia NY show 74 degrees. No mowing services took place during the day. No driveway services. Nothing that would introduce flying debris. I park away from other vehicles to protect my vehicle from incidental door damage that may occur if people park too closely. I did not notice any issues prior. I hand wash my vehicle nearly weekly and keep it immaculate. I bought the vehicle brand new. Currently has ~9,300 miles. I have not had time to take the vehicle to Toyota for inspection. The police helped remove the broken glass so I could safely drive home. Using Google I did learn that Toyota is experiencing window defects where windows are spontaneously exploding. Very scary, I have 3 young children and am very thankful this did not happen driving. Reports are while in vehicle it sounds like a gun blast when the windows explode.

The panoramic moonroof on the 2025 Toyota Sequoia spontaneously shattered while the vehicle was stationary. Nothing hit the moonroof. Was told by the dealership that it was caused by a pressure imbalance and although this is a know issue Toyota will not cover it as corporate doesn't see it as a issue. Was lucky the screen as deployed as it caught the glass from hitting the driver.

The 2nd panel of the panoramic sunroof literally exploded. Was sitting, stationary after a brief highway drive when it exploded cacophonously. Toyota won't cover under warranty because they're saying that it had to be resultant from an incident. But, literally, it just blew up 100% unprovoked.

While driving with my family in the car our panoramic sunroof exploded out of now where. Now after a week of waiting and missing work due the dealership waiting to see if warranty is going to cover it. I’m being told to utilize my insurance because the panoramic isn’t covered under warranty.
