Took it to lawrence toyota and the said it would cost $2175 to repair this problem has occured in 100 of sequoias and should be part of the frame recall. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and all I want toyota to do is repair my vehicle as part of the original recall.

Secondary air system repeatedly braking putting the vehicle into limp mode, also causing jerky driving. 2-3k repair on a known defect with no recall?

While driving at 35 MPH, the check engine light, vsc off light, and vsc trac light all came on at once, and the vehicle stopped accelerating, and I experienced a dramatic decrease in vehicle power. I drove the vehicle home noticing a drastic change in acceleration as the sequoia would not accelerate normally; it would accelerate at a significantly reduced rate, topping out at 35mph on the flats and 16 MPH on an incline, in addition, during start up, the engine makes a high-pitch vacuum noise, which drops off and normal engine sound returns. I have had the car diagnosed; error codes p2440, p441 and p444 are all present indicating a failure of the air injection pump. This is a known problem on toyota sequoias and tundras; however, toyota has only acknowledged it on the 07-10 sequoia by extending the warranty to 10 years and 150,000k miles for this part. It is clear from other posts on the federal safety agency website and others that this problem also exists with the 2004-07 sequoias as well. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed before someone is injured, or worse yet killed.
