Description of the problem	I received a "limited service campaign" notice regarding corrosion-resistant compound application to be applied to my 2004 toyota sequoia. I brought the vehicle in to the dealer and was given a loaner car for the 4 days they had my vehicle, which i was thankful for. They said my sequoia's frame was not rusted through and applied a very sticky, messy , shiny tar-like substance that now 6 days later is still not dry. Toyota dealer also told me i needed about $5000 in repairs (which i brought to my local mechanic and fixed for $380), but that's not why i am writing. I am very concerned for my familys safety in this vehicle after reading hundreds of complaints on the sequoia on the many toyota forum websites available. I also have the same problems that are discussed in the forums including excessive rust inside the tailgate causing the tailgate window to not operate and also rust so bad we can't even use the hitch on our vehicle which was the main reason we purchased the vehicle to begin with. It is a complete rust bucket.
