2008 Toyota Sequoia Body and structure Problems

“Rusty parts (rust extended warranty) the back window on my 2008 Toyota Sequoia fell down abruptly while traveling on the highway. The vehicle was in motion. Items flew from my back window and I was forced to slow down abruptly and prevent drivers in my rear from being in an accident. After pulling over, I had to retrieve those items on a busy roadway. I attempted to diagnose the issue by powering the window back up, but it wouldn't work. I attempted to push the window to the up position and it would not work. I had to secure my items and drive home slowly. …”

“I was driving on I-15 in utah when my passengers heard honking and looked around. Suddenly a white car swerved close to me and cut me off. The driver was looking down and continued to swerve around. Then slowed and put on her flashers. She continued to swerve and then followed us off the freeway. She stopped at the stop light and said we had hit her. I said that was a lie and she had been swerving into my lane and people were honking at her. We drove to ikea and she did not follow. Then I filed this complaint. I am concerned for the safety of me and my passengers. She was not friendly. …”

“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. The vehicle has severe rust on the frame in particular the rear axle assembly, including the welds that hold the frame together. 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. …”

“When driving on the freeway, the left rear vent window had its glass come completely out of the channel which holds it, and was dangling by just a bolt. Upon inspecting the window, I found that the window's adhesive had completely failed. I reported the problem to the Toyota dealer, and even though the vehicle was still in warranty, they refused to repair it without charging me the full repair price. The risk of a glass window falling off of a vehicle at high speed seemed very high to me, but the dealer said there were no recalls or safety problems.”

“I was driving in rain going about 35-40 MPH entering a curve when I saw a car stopped in front of me turning into a driveway. I tried to hit the brakes but my car actually accelerated to 55-60 MPH hitting the vehicle from behind. It threw the car I hit over 100-200 feet off the road into a tree. My car continued to accelerate and finally stopped 1-2 football fields' length up the road. I had over $23,000 worth of damage to my car including a cracked frame. It took over 6 weeks to get my car fixed because the Toyota dealership kept finding more damage as they worked on it. …”
