2006 Toyota Sequoia body problems

Filed Jan 29, 2025 · Body, Suspension · FL

This Toyota has several large rust holes directly on the frame. i hit a pot hole and more structure damage was revealed on the frame from rust. The truck drives rough now. The vehicle only has 150,000 miles. The rust holes are so severe that they're directly under my suspension. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle. Their was once a recall for the frame. It doesn't seem that it was satisfied. I'm very worried about this issue. Toyota should have to replace frame or make it safe to drive.

The driver side, rear, trailing arm broke away from the vehicles frame due to “frame rot” while driving. The vehicle became extremely dangerous to drive. Toyota has since declined to help. They said they notified us via mail of a customer service campaign addressing the premature rust issue, but we never learned of the program and lawsuit until after the frame broke and I almost crashed. Later I saw the broken arm/frame under the vehicle. This frame failure can potentially be a catastrophic and deadly event. I opened an insurance claim and it was denied and I was referred back to Toyota. Our vehicle has been factory maintained it’s entire life. No service advisors ever mentioned a possible problem to my family and I. I recently spoke to the Toyota service manager at Parker Toyota in Couer d Alene Idaho and his master technicians have seen the same failure that occurred on our vehicle. This is extremely dangerous.

I was on the freeway driving and out of nowhere the body started swaying and bobbing with no control. Was informed by the tow truck driver that i could have rolled the vehicle easily and the consequences would have been serious. The frame is so rusted out that the tie rod and sway bar assembly are completely detached from the frame and hanging loose. Upon further inspection at the auto repair garage there are rusting issues throughout the frame. The frame needs complete replacement.

Frame rusted out and parts dropping off frame with no early warning. Toyota completed corrosion resistant compound 2 years ago following inspection per limited service campaign H0F, saying issue resolved to extent of warranty with known rust issue for this year and model. Now another independent garage saying we never should have been driving, much less hauling 5000 lb. trailer. Only warning was odd sound from under carriage.

We need help in getting toyota motors, inc. To honor the warranty program covering premature excessive rust corrosion of certain toyota model frames. In mid-october 2018 we received notification from toyota motors, inc., of the following: 'warranty enhancement notification ' zh8 and limited service campaign ' hof.' the zh8 and hof were instituted as a result of a determination that the frames on certain toyota vehicles are prone to 'excessive, premature rust corrosion because the frames were not properly prepared and treated against rust corrosion when they were manufactured.' excessive rust corrosion on my SUV 'compromises the vehicles' safety, stability, and crash-worthiness because important suspension components, engine mounts, transmission mounts, and body mounts anchor to the vehicles' frames'. By driving my high end SUV, I will be putting my family's safety at risk. On 10/25/2018: we took our SUV to jim coleman toyota in bethesda, md for frame inspection. The attached work order shows: 'inspected and found no perforation. Eligible for crc spray ' customer will return at a later date for frame crc application.' it was during this time I was told that jim coleman only had one person performing this work. And that we had two years from october 2018 to have the work performed by toyota at no charge. On monday march 10, 2019, we left our SUV with the toyota dealer so that the hof work could be performed. We received a call from the dealer at 5:05pm on friday 03/15/2019 informing us that (a) our SUV had not been repaired since the frame needed to be replaced (b) that there are large holes in the frame and (c) no work would be performed since the hof had ended in january 2019. We paid over $60,000.00 for our toyota SUV not many years ago. We literally received a different answer regarding the crc and hof each time we called toyota customer relations
