Anti sway bar cannot be connected back to frame since the frame is rusted. I was told that in order to fix it, I would need my entire frame replaced and that none of this was covered under any warranty or recall. Estimated cost of repair is estimated to be at least $13,000. The vehicle is not safe to drive. Since the Sequoia has the same frame as a tundra, why isn't the Sequoia frame rust problem also being recalled like the tundra?.
I purchased a new 2003 Toyota Sequoia from colorado springs Toyota. In November 2008 I noticed a severe vibration at highway speed. The Toyota service department found and replaced a left front sway bar stabilizer link which had broken. I was told it was not a safety item and would not be covered by Toyota. On April 10th, 2010 I was on a cross country trip when the Toyota developed a very strong vibration at highway speeds that could allow the vehicle to not respond safely to a need for quick maneuvering. I had the vehicle inspected by Toyota upon my return home and the right side sway bar link was found to have failed. The service department was very aware of this defect and treated it like a common occurrence. This is a safety issue and should be addressed by Toyota before some one else is killed.
