| Description of the problem | Our 2004 toyota sequoia has extensive rust on the frame of the car that has made it unsafe to operate. We understand that toyota used poor quality steel to make the frame. We have contacted toyota, which has refused to fix or replace the frame because we missed the july 31 2014 deadline. We know that there is a recall for 2005-08 models and the 2004 model should be included as well. We want the frame to be replaced. The rest of the car is in good working condition. |
