2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Engine Problems

WHEN MY FRAME WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED I STARTED HAVING MY VCS AND CHECKNENGIN3 LIGHT COME ON CONSTANTLY AND NAME THE TRUCK SHAKES AND IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN OVER SPEEDS OF 25 UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE. TOOK IT TO LAWRENCE TOYOTA AND THE SAID IT WOULD COST $2175 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED IN 100 OF SEQUOIAS AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE FRAME RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ALL I WANT TOYOTA TO DO IS REPAIR MY VEHICLE AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM REPEATEDLY BRAKING PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO LIMP MODE, ALSO CAUSING JERKY DRIVING. 2-3K REPAIR ON A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NO RECALL?

SPENT OVER 2K AT TOYOTA CARLSBAD FOR REPAIRS 1-2 YEARS AGO..PROBLEM ACCELERATING AND LIGHTS COMING UP FOR CHECK ENGINE, TRACK OFF AND VSC..TOOK AGAIN AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR NEARLY 5K FOR REPAIRS..PROBLEM ACCELERATING IN FREEWAY AND TPMS LIGHS ON..

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC OFF LIGHT, AND VSC TRAC LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT ONCE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND I EXPERIENCED A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN VEHICLE POWER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME NOTICING A DRASTIC CHANGE IN ACCELERATION AS THE SEQUOIA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY; IT WOULD ACCELERATE AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED RATE, TOPPING OUT AT 35MPH ON THE FLATS AND 16 MPH ON AN INCLINE, IN ADDITION, DURING START UP, THE ENGINE MAKES A HIGH-PITCH VACUUM NOISE, WHICH DROPS OFF AND NORMAL ENGINE SOUND RETURNS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED; ERROR CODES P2440, P441 AND P444 ARE ALL PRESENT INDICATING A FAILURE OF THE AIR INJECTION PUMP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON TOYOTA SEQUOIAS AND TUNDRAS; HOWEVER, TOYOTA HAS ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT ON THE 07-10 SEQUOIA BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND 150,000K MILES FOR THIS PART....

VEHICLE ACCELERATION STALLS FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN TURNING RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS NHTSA 10V176000, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS SAFETY RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO DRIVERS.
