My toyota sequoia is a 2006 4x4 and has excessive frame rust at the weld seems and all over the rear axle housing and suspension components. I recently learned that toyota has started to recall and replace these frames that are rusting from the inside out. I am worried about this rust at the frame weld and that snow and road salt and ice melter are causing my frame to rust from the inside out. My sequoia was originally licensed in kansas and they use heavy road salt. I live in colorado and they have a heavy use of mag chloride, which is a major rust factor. The toyota frame looks like it was never properly treated to prevent this type of rusting. I would like my frame to also be replaced and covered by toyota under this recall.

Heavy rust on structural frame, front and rear axle and suspension components.
I am having unusual tire wear on the outside edge of all 4 tires on my vehicle (2006 toyota sequoia), to the point of becoming bald. I have been relaying my concern to the dealer for the past 11k miles. The vehicle currently has 21k miles on it. The vehicle has been aligned 3 times by manufacturer dealers, the front ball joints have been replaced and the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected by district level manufacturer's people. They are saying nothing is wrong with the vehicle, but I have been doing some research and am finding that this has been a complaint on the same model of vehicle since 2002. I feel that the suspension of this vehicle is not allowing it to ride properly on the tires, thus causing this premature wear. The problem seems to be on bf goodrich, bridgestone and in particular, dunlop tires.
