Consumer Description

TOOK 2003 SEQUOIA TO BAIERL DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 26, 2011 IN CRANBERRY, PA FOR 130,000 MILE CHECK UP. MECHANIC NOTICED "HOLE' IN FRAME BEHIND FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS WHERE FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH BEHIND FRONT WHEELS. TOYOTA SAYS THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS, IT SEEMS THAT MODEL YEARS 2000-2003 TACOMA'S, TUNDRA'S AND SEQUOIA'S ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ON TACOMA'S AND TUNDRA'S, BUT NOT SEQUOIA'S FOR SOME REASON. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION NOW AND TOYOTA THEMSELVES HAVE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP WHERE IT COULD POSSIBLY BE REPAIRED, BUT NO GUARANTEES. I AM LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
