| Description of the problem | Frame has rust corrosion causing 18 inch perforated hole in front frame of car. This is same problem that has warranted a recall of the toyota tundra which uses the same frame. The car has been deemed unsafe to drive due to the extensive rust corrosion on the frame. This must be due to poor quality material and coating of the original frame. Through research appears to be a very common problem in sequoia that are in areas dealing with road salt. The recall should be extended to include this model along with the tundra. The car is parked outside driveway and mostly local driving. |
