Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE FRAME WAS REPLACED BY TOYOTA DUE TO A RECALL. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK, I NOTICED A WHINING SOUND, BUT DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT SINCE THE MECHANIC SAID IT MIGHT TAKE A MONTH FOR THE FRAME TO SETTLE. I RETURNED ONE MONTH LATER TO HAVE THE WHINING SOUND CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING LINES WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED REPLACED AT THE COST ODF$ 750. TOYOTA ASSURED ME THAT THE SEQUOIA SHOULD LAST A LONG TIME!!! I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I WONDER IF THE RUSTED POWER STEERING LINES ARE PART OF THE RUSTED FRAME RECALL. I HAVE REALLY LOVED MY SEQUOIA, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR ANY MORE REPAIRS!!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS(EITHER THE TOYOTA TRUCK FRAME OR SEQUOIA FRAME), HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR
