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.

It made noise on start and while pulling out of parking the flames/smoke came under the engine/hood and whole vehicle got burned in few minutes. Recently had 30K service done by Toyota dealer. It has been running in excellent condition.

While driving our vehicle, the engine suddenly revved up on its own without the accelerator being depressed. No carpet was over the accelerator and the pedal and carpet had been replaced by Toyota already. We contacted Toyota and they did not respond.
