| Discovered rear bumper was severely burned around tail pipe after pulling a trailer. i purchased the vehicle new from modesto toyota. i brought the vehicle to modesto toyota and reported the problem as a factory defect. they inspected the problem and reported back to me that there was nothing wrong with the tail pipe and because it was beyond the warranty period there was nothing they would. i have looked at another 2010 sequoia which pulls a travel trailer and discovered the same problem. i feel this problem has a potential to start a fire and should be covered by toyota regardless of vehicle miles. *tr | |||

| While pulling our travel trailer with our 2010 toyota sequoia limited 5.7, upon stopping to fuel up the bumper around the exhaust pipe had melted and was smoking. we noticed in the interior a foul smell, like a plastic burning but couldn't figure it out. we stopped to fuel up and i checked under the hood and then discovered where the problem was. the tow vehicle was well within limits according to the manufacturer. | |||

| In june 2010, took family vacation from virginia to disney world. pulled travel trailer rated below tow rating (7,000 lbs). when arrived, noticed that the rear bumper melted all around the exhaust. exhaust does not clear the bumper. if you look at other tow vehicles, the exhaust pipe clearly is away from the vehicle. the excess load from pulling the tralior creates excess heat. reported the problem to toyota, they provided me with a new bumper, changed nothing else. decided i did not want this to happen again, went to a toyota parts site on the south east region and ordered a exhaust pipe tip. works great. takes the heat past the bumper. i should not have had to buy this, toyota should recall and provide the exhaust tip on all. | |||
