Description of the problem	We own a 2008 sequoia. On 3/13/10 the local 1-10 toyota dealer in indio, ca did the initial "recall fix" on our sequioa. My husband works in anza, ca. On his way home from work he was driving downhill on route 74 (a very treacherous mountain road) and the rpm's on the toyota increased and when he saw them get over 3000 rpm's he tried to break. The breaks did not work and the rpm's kept rising. He hit the breaks again and they still didn't work. He laid on them the 3rd time and they finally kicked in. When he got home he told me what happened. I immediately called the toyota dealer and they advised me to bring the car in first thing the following day. We ran into several bad experiences with how the dealer has handled us during the week. They still have the vehicle and today is 3/25/10. We asked them for a full pedal replacement as we researched it on line and saw that we were not alone in experiencing a problem even after they have completed their initial "recall fix". We are very concerned about several issues. Our primary concern is that my husband can no longer trust driving this car back and forth to work. We feel we will not be able to trust driving it even after we get it back since this is the 2nd fix they have done on it. We also are concerned about the resell value of our vehicle as we have seen articles stating that kelly blue book is confirming that the resell values are being effected. Could a lawyer possibly negotiate with toyota on our behalf to reduce our loan since we are financed through toyota directly and our vehicle value has been reduced.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
