LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURE, CAUSING THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE TO BREAK OFF AT LOW SPEED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.

TAKATA RECALL, THE TIME THAT IT IS TAKING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION TOYOTA HAS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. 1 PAY FOR THE AIRBAGS AND SUBMIT A REIMBURSEMENTS CLAIM, 2 DON'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. STATING THAT THEY ARE UP TO 2002 FOR THIS MODEL IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE FOR ITS SUPPOSED SAFETY FEATURES.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MAY 2015; TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED NO USE OF FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF SAFETY. IT IS NOW ~8 MONTHS LATER AND NO RESOLVE. ALSO, TAILGATE WIPERS, WINDOW AND WIPER FLUID SYSTEM NOT OPERATIONAL (SINCE 2008) DESPITE ALL GOOD FUSES IN 4 COMPARTMENTS.

2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW.IN 2015 FRAME HAS LOTS OF RUST. WHEN WE WENT FOR SERVICING, TOYOTA DEALER SAID, NOT TO WASTE ANY MONEY FOR FLUID EXCHANGES, LIKE POWER STEERING FLUID, TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE, BECAUSE CAR MAY NOT PASS INSPECTION, BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE, WHETHER SPARE TIRE, REAR BRAKES FAILING, OTHER COMPONENTS FALLING OFF CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAR AND PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND . WE SEE SEQUOIAS FROM 2000 TO 2004 ARE RECALLED FOR NEW FRAME INSTALLATION BECAUSE OF RUST PROBLEMS. WE SINCERELY HOPE, TOYOTA WILL RECALL 2006 SEQUOIAS ALSO. WE BELIEVED IN TOYOTA REPUTATION, FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. WE ARE REALLY VERY DISAPPOINTED. MY FAMILY HAS 3 TOYOTAS AND EXPECTING TO BUY 2 MORE SOON. WE NEVER EXPECTED, SEQUOIAS ARE SO BAD , WHERE LIFE ITSELF IS IN DANGER DRIVING THEM. WE WISH TOYOTA WILL RECALL SEQUOIAS FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT. *TR

JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER 2006 SEQUOIA AT 80K MILES THE YELLOW ABS, YELLOW VSC OFF, YELLOW VSC TRAC , AND RED BRAKE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON CAUSING IT TO FAIL THE MA STATE INSPECTION. DISASSEMBLED P/N 44050-0C100 AND THE BRUSHES IN THE ABS PUMP MOTOR (ATE 25.0206-0206.3) ARE COMPLETELY GONE.

AFTER A STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD CATCHING UP TO THE THROTTLE POSITION ONCE THE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CLEARS (AFTER A FEW SECONDS). THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN 4HI. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AS VEHICLE STUTTERS OR DELAYS THE TURN.
