| I own a 2006 toyota sequoia limited. when it rained i noticed water was getting in the vehicle at the rear hatch and under the right center row seat. i took my vehicle to a toyota dealer but they were unable to find the problem. i took it to a different toyota dealer and they said there was a leak coming from the bolts for the left hatch shock; they removed all rear interior and found many hardware pieces missing. the dealer states the bolts were removed, cleaned, and applied silicone to them. apparently the leak is gone. however, whenever it rains, i am concerned the problem could come back. *tr | |||

| 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.

| Pushed switch for power rear tailgate window, window assembly broke and window fell down into door. upon examination, all components - regulator assembly and all connecting parts were severely corroded which led to failure. less than 12 months later, rear tailgate outside handle broke; again under examination the entire interior latch assembly was severely corroded which caused failure. this in my opinion is a design or assembly defect. water is not supposed to be leaking into the interior of the tailgate. from the extent of corrosion, this condition had been occurring for many years - most likely in my opinion immediately from the time that we acquired the vehicle new. the failure, while caused from a defect from the beginning of vehicle life, manifested itself after the vehicle warranty period and toyota is refusing to address. from some online research, i have found this to be a common problem. *tr | |||
