Is 20 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2017 and 2026, roughly 2 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2018 has 20 complaints on file, more than the 2016 (11). Of the 7 model years of the Toyota Sequoia we cover, the 2010 has the most (31). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
