In June 2008 at 88,000 miles I brought vehicle in for service, and was told the sway bar links were broken. This was covered under my extended warranty.

The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. While the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed rust under it towards the rear. A few years later, while having the vehicle serviced, the contact was informed that the undercarriage was severely rusted. She was also told that the parking brake lever fractured and there was an unknown pipe leaking from under the vehicle. The leaking pipe was repaired but the severe rusting and fractured hand brake were not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000 and the current mileage was approximately 75,000.

We were driving down the hill and the traction control system went crazy we skidded out and then the abs and traction control/slip lights went on. They stayed on until we took it to the dealer and they replace some brake sensors that were corroded. On the way home it happened again. The traction control computer was reporting that there were still bad sensors, but the sensors were fine, so they replaced the entire traction control computer. After a week in the shop it finally came back working. A traction control system should not throw your car out of control and run you off the road. The dealer said that they had not seen so much corrosion under a vehicle before. They said that the frame, exhaust, spare tire, and brake components as well as various other electrical components looked to have what they would call excessive corrosion. They said I should take it up with whom I bought it from. I think this is the same problem as the tundras are having with corrosion and should be looped into the same investigation. The Sequoia, I was told when I bought it, was designed on the same frame, and drive train as the tundra which would explain why the corrosion is effecting similar braking systems and the spare. I would love for someone to investigate this. I would have hated for anything to happen to my family which was in the car with me.

The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Sequoia sr5. During routine maintenance at 60,000 miles, he was advised that the entire rear left and right axle assembly was corroded. The left and right rear axle assembly, and the oxygen sensor were replaced under the warranty. In 2004 the failure resurfaced. The cost for the repair was $3,000. 00. However at 90,000 miles the garage discovered that the under frame carriage was severely corroded. A sand blast might correct the failure, but it was not guaranteed. He contacted the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated they were aware of premature corrosion, but they would not provide assistance. The failure mileage was 60,000. The current mileage was 90,000.
