| Description of the problem | On 11-08-16 during a pennsylvania state inspection for my 2005 toyota sequoia i was informed it would not pass because of frame rot. The dealer stated it went into service the end of january 2005. How could this be for an 11yr youcng toyota? The frame has rusted in several areas, the rust hole was rusted through from the inside. This vehicle was my choice for my wife and kids due to the reputation and longevity of toyota's vehicles. This is a major issue that needs to be resolved, as it is a major safety concern that could potentially be fatal if unchecked. What should me my future actions to this matter?- also , when in stop and go traffic, every light on the dash will go on, vsc,trac,abs, losing braking power and acceleration. No accident to date because of it's infrequence, but also a major concern! |
