I HAVE A 2002 SEQUOIA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN DOING THE REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2003. I TOOK IN THE RECALL FOR THE BALL JOINTS AND EVEN BEFORE I RECEIVED IT I HAD AN ISSUE. WHEN TURNING RIGHT, MOSTLY IN CURVES THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING IN THE FRONTEND AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR . THEY TOLD ME THAT HERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM BUT I AM STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THE TRAC HAS TO STABILIZE MY CAR, THIS HAS HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING NO TURNS. THE TRAC LIGHT IS ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY CAN NOT EXPLAIN IT TO ME. THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS FOR ME I HAVE SPENT MONEY ON THIS CAR LATELY BUT THIS IS A VERY LARGE REPAIR AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS FIXED I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAG AS WELL THAT MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED. I NEED HELP WITH THIS, THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS.
