Description of the problem	Last week, (3/17/16) my neighbor was taking her three children to school in her 2004 toyota sequoia. She was traveling on a new road at approximately 30 mph when the front end of the vehicle dropped on driver's side. She thought she had a flat tire so she steered to the side of the road. It appears the driver's side, lower ball joint failed (see photos). I called hendrick toyota of apex, nc and talked with mr. John specht (919-335-1678). He checked the vin and said the lower ball joints had a recall and were changed on aug. 15, 2007. He also suggested i contact toyota to request their assistance to cover the cost to repair the vehicle (case no.[xxx]). He advised the vehicle be brought in for the airbag recall too. Vehicle was towed home on a dolly to prevent any damage to the transmission. The vehicle has 215,444 miles and was not used for off-road driving. The vehicle recently passed state inspection with no problems noted about the front end. If the lower ball joints were already replaced in a recall (2007) what did they replace them with, and how did they correct the problem? This failure could have caused a deadly accident at higher speed. When a lower ball joint breaks, the driver can only steer with one wheel.[xxx]
