WE HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V286) FOR OUR 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA (VIN [XXX]) OVER THE SUMMER. WE HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR PERFORMED. HOWEVER, WE WERE PLACED ON WAITING LISTS AT TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. I HAVE SINCE MADE 4 PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CORPORATION (1-888-270-9371; CASE # [XXX]) BECAUSE THE RECALL LETTER RECOMMENDS LETTING NO ONE OCCUPY THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THEY WOULD FACILITATE A LOANER CAR SINCE THE PART WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. NOW I AM TOLD THERE IS A DEALER HOURS AWAY THAT HAS THE PART THOUGH THE LOCAL DEALERS DO NOT. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME HOW OR WHY SOME DEALERS ARE RECEIVING THE PART WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT. TOYOTA CORPORATION CAN ONLY TELL ME "IT DEPENDS ON THE INDEPENDENT DEALERS' CONTRACT WITH TOYOTA." THEY ARE ALSO, REPORTEDLY, UNABLE TO SEND THE PART FROM ONE DEALER TO ANOTHER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TOWARD A REASONABLE RESOLUTION IS APPRECIATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 SEQUOIA VSC TRAC SENSOR LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF AND HEARING GRINDING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. ALONG WITH THE VSC TRAC SENSOR LIGHTS TURNING ON, THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNS ON AS WELL. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AS I WAS PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL, AND AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL DOING NO MORE THAN 20 MPH - MY VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND ALL THE ABOVE LISTED INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO (NERVOUSLY) DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. DURING THESE INSTANCES, I HAVE NOTICED DECREASE ACCELERATION AND MY VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THE REAR IS SLIDING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I AM AFRAID OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP IN TIME, THE BRAKES FAILING COMPLETELY OR A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AS A RESULT OF THIS.

WE WERE NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA THAT OUR FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS BEEN RECALLED AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A DATE WHEN IT WILL BE RESOLVED. WE WERE TOLD TO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS NO SET TIME TO FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM IN OUR CAR.
