Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 TOYOTA SEQUOIA (SUV). I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC OVER THE WEEKEND TO HAVE THE BRAKES FIXED. THE MECHANIC WARNED ME THAT THE CAR FRAME WAS RUSTED OUT AND NOT STRUCTURALLY SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CAR WAS BUILT ON A TUNDRA FRAME WHICH HAD A STRUCTURAL RECALL (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE09049) FOR FRAMES BUILT IN 2000 AND 2001. I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND PREGNANT WIFE AND THIS CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA (CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE) AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO BE AT RISK OF DANGER. MY NUMBER IS [XXX] IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
