I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER AND HAD 7 TOYOTAS SO FAR FROM A 1990 WHITE COROLLA, 1996 WHITE LAND CRUISER, 2007 WHITE RAV4. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2010 WHITE PRIUS, A 2006 WHITE VENZA, A 2005 SILVER PRIUS, AND THIS 2002 BLACK SEQUOIA LIMITED. AFTER SPENDING ALMOST $1500 TO ELIMINATE THE SHAKE @65 MPH FROM A SET OF NEW TIRES, 1MAGS THAT IS WARPED, AND ALIGNMENT TO NO AVAIL, I RESEARCH THIS SITE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE EXTENSIVE FRAME RUST THAT I JUST PAID MY MECHANIC OVER $500 TO CHIP AND 3M RUSTPROOFED IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THIS CAR. INITIALLY, I FOUND A 3"X1" HOLE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FRAME AND UPON MY INVESTIGATION I WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE A 2"X1" RUSTED PIECE OF METAL INSIDE THE FRAME. LOOKS LIKE THEY FORGOT TO PUT A DRAIN OR TOYOTA USED A SUB-PAR FRAME. WHEN MY...
MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME. OTHER SEQUOIA OWNERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THEIR SEQUOIA WITH RUSTY FRAME IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM SAME YEAR, BUILT ON SAME FRAME HAVE BEEN SAFETY RECALLED DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE RUSTY FRAME. UPDATED 12/29/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED SINCE FILING THE COMPLAINT, HE HAD HIS VEHICLE INSPECTED AT THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE RUST ON THE VEHICLE WAS SURFACE RUST AND THERE WAS NO LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. UPDATED 12/30/11 *TR
FAILED COMPONENTS: PREMATURE FRAME ROT I'M AN OWNER OF A 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST US. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTION, DUE TO RUST HOLES IN THE FRAME. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE, KEEPING IT WASHED ESPECIALLY IN WINTER MONTHS. THE BODY IS IN SPOTLESS CONDITION WITH NO RUST. TOYOTA BLAMES THE HEAVY USE OF SALT IN THE NE. THIS IS NO EXCUSE...I HAVE A 1990 MINIVAN THAT IS GARAGED ALONG WITH AND DRIVEN SIMILAR TO MY TOYOTA SEQUOIA AND THE MINIVAN'S FRAME HAS VERY LITTLE RUST. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL AND/OR REPAIR SEQUOIA'S AS THEY DID TACOMA'S AND TUNDRA'S. I DEPEND UPON THIS VEHICLE FOR TOWING, BUT HAVE ALSO BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO TOW ANYTHING, UNTIL THE FRAME IS FIXED OR REPLACED. YOUR INVESTIGATION AND ASSISTANCE WITH THE RESOLUTION TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE GREATLY...
SIGNIFICANT RUST ON FRAME AND UNDERBODY OF 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS BEEN IN EVIDENCE DURING THE LAST 3-4 YEARS. RUST IS SPREADING TO BODY PANELS AS WELL. MECHANIC COMMENTS REGULARLY ABOUT UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF RUST. *TR
