2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND HAS CAUSED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSAFE

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I FELT THE VEHICLE SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TIRES THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THERE, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE HAD SNAPPED AND WAS ABOUT TO BREAK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THAT'S WHERE IT'S LOCATED NOW.

I HAVE A 05 SEQUIAO GREAT TRUCK BUT... THE FRAME UNDER THE TRUCK IS TOTALLY RUSTY EVERYTHING!! I T DOESN'T EVEN LOOK SAFE I LIVE IN THE SOUTH SO NO SNOW. MY MECHANIC HAVE ALREADY TOLD ME THE SWAY BAR WILL SOON NEED REPLACING. I'M TRYING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IF NOT IT SHOULD BE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL I HEAR THE SWAY BAR OR SOMETHING POPPING!

ON 11-08-16 DURING A PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION FOR MY 2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA I WAS INFORMED IT WOULD NOT PASS BECAUSE OF FRAME ROT. THE DEALER STATED IT WENT INTO SERVICE THE END OF JANUARY 2005. HOW COULD THIS BE FOR AN 11YR YOUCNG TOYOTA? THE FRAME HAS RUSTED IN SEVERAL AREAS, THE RUST HOLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE. THIS VEHICLE WAS MY CHOICE FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS DUE TO THE REPUTATION AND LONGEVITY OF TOYOTA'S VEHICLES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL IF UNCHECKED. WHAT SHOULD ME MY FUTURE ACTIONS TO THIS MATTER?- ALSO , WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL GO ON, VSC,TRAC,ABS, LOSING BRAKING POWER AND ACCELERATION. NO ACCIDENT TO DATE BECAUSE OF IT'S INFREQUENCE, BUT ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN!

VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, BRAKE, ABS LIGHTS... ALL ON, ALL AT ONCE. AND LOOSES POWER ON THE FREEWAY VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINS . IT HAPEN TO ME LAST NIGHT VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, BRAKE, ABS LIGHTS.CAME ON ALL ON, ALL AT ONCE.AND I START LOOOSING POWER LUCKY I WAS CLOSE TO A EXIT

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SEQUIOA THAT MY VSC TRACK AND VSC OFF LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHS CAME ON. IT WAS ON FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN WENT OFF. THEN 6 MOS LATER THEY CAME ON AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP CODES ARE NOT SHOWING CORRECTLY. THERE HARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS FOR YEARS 2003- 2005 PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, SOME PEOPLE GOT A EASY FIX WITH REPLACING GAS CAP AND OTHERS PAID TO REPLACE A AIR PUMP, GASKET, SEVERAL VALVES AND WASTED MONEY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I CANT AFFORD THIS REPAIR, WHAT CAN TOYOTA DO FOR ME. ANYTHING.

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT MODERATE SPEED THE ANTI SKID LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER THROUGH THE TURN ... USUALLY IN NEIGHBORHOOD SITUATIONS, BUT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT ON INTERSTATE ON RAMPS REQUIRING A LEFT TURN FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL RIGHT BANKING TURN.
