“The 2008 Toyota Sequoia only has 35,300 miles on it and while it was in for oil changed and on the rack, the mechanic noticed a severe rusting issue on the frame.

I am very concerned with the issue of the roads and stress of potholes that the frame and welds could become severely damaged and possibly break off on the road in particular at high speeds. I have never seen rusting this bad since the automobile industries use of recycled metals. …”

“We own a 2008 Sequoia. On 3/13/10 the local 1-10 Toyota dealer in indio, ca did the initial recall fix on our sequioa. My husband works in anza, ca.

The breaks did not work and the RPM's kept rising. He hit the breaks again and they still didn't work. He laid on them the 3rd time and they finally kicked in. When he got home he told me what happened. …”

“Good afternoon, during the drive-thru and the car, started to shake, and the engine stops. After that, I contacted the tow-truck and brought it to Toyota dealer. The dealer has finally opened the engine, and the result was the valve spring was broken in half, and the spark plug also melted.”

“The rear liftgate exterior handle literally melts in the summer and freezes in the winter. It makes it so the rear liftgate doesn't open and sometimes doesn't close.

They said it's over $400 to fix.”
