NHTSA Complaint #10491915 — 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA

MY TOYOTA SEQUOIA IS A 2006 4X4 AND HAS EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST AT THE WELD SEEMS AND ALL OVER THE REAR AXLE HOUSING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT TOYOTA HAS STARTED TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE FRAMES THAT ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS RUST AT THE FRAME WELD AND THAT SNOW AND ROAD SALT AND ICE MELTER ARE CAUSING MY FRAME TO RUST FROM THE INSIDE OUT. MY SEQUOIA WAS ORIGINALLY LICENSED IN KANSAS AND THEY USE HEAVY ROAD SALT. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND THEY HAVE A HEAVY USE OF MAG CHLORIDE, WHICH IS A MAJOR RUST FACTOR. THE TOYOTA FRAME LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER PROPERLY TREATED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF RUSTING. I WOULD LIKE MY FRAME TO ALSO BE REPLACED AND COVERED BY TOYOTA UNDER THIS RECALL.
