Description of the problem	We have a 2005 toyota sequoia with excessive frame rust. This was assessed by toyota dealership and documented 6/19/14. There was a recall by toyota for frame rust for years 2001-2004 on both toyota sequoias and toyota tacomas were also involved. Toyota recently extended recalls for rust on frames for tacomas years 2005-2012 but not sequoia models. When i placed an inquiry and complain with toyota they stated there are no recalls for 2005 and above toyota sequoias frame rust, and that our 2005 sequoia is out of warranty and replacement of frame would be at the expense of us. We do not understand why sequoias and tacomas were recalled initially with the same rust issue, and tacomas have an extension on the recall for rust but not sequoias. We purchased toyota brand with the reputation of the company and vehicles running with over 200k miles. However, with a frame deteriorating we doubt our truck will last and have serious concerns about safety with a frame decomposing as it is. Toyota is aware of issues with these frames in sequoia and tacomas as evidenced by recalls. But if recall is extended on tacoma's why not on sequoias? We would appreciate help and toyota to rectify this issue. Thank you.
