Consumer Description

DURING MY ANNUAL NYS VEHICLE INSPECTION, 11/6/2010, I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE MECHANIC THAT HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO PASS ON INSPECTION MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA DUE TO A SIZABLE HOLE RUSTED THROUGH THE FRAME. BASED ON MY REVIEW OF INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS NOT AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SEQUOIA. THE SEQUOIA AND THE TUNDRA ARE BUILT ON THE SAME FRAME AND TOYOTA IS REPLACING FRAMES ON TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUP TRUCKS THAT EXHIBIT THIS DEFECT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT IN THE TOYOTA TUNDRA, BASED ON A RECALL NOTICE DATED MAY, 2010 FOR THE TUNDRA FOR YEARS 2000 TO 2003. HOWEVER, I DON'T FIND ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, WHICH IS THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION, ALTHOUGH IT IS BUILT ON THE SAME FRAME AS THE TOYOTA TUNDRA, WHICH SHOULD BE SIMILARLY TREATED. AS AN ADDITIONAL FACT, THIS SEQUOIA ISSUE HAS BEEN TAKEN UP BY TV STATIONS IN BOSTON, AND THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS ALSO BEEN INVOLVED IN RESOLUTION OF A SEQUOIA COMPLAINT. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED DEFECT FOR THE SEQUOIA AND IS APPARENTLY A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR TOYOTA. *TR
