| I noticed oil leaking from rear axle housing. when i took the vehicle in for service i was told that the axle housing is leaking due to defective welds and must be replaced, it cannot be repaired. at the same time i was also told that the vehicle frame has rotted from the inside out due to defective or inadequate factory rustproofing. i was told that this problem is pervasive in toyota sequoias which have the same frame as toyota tundras. toyota has recalled the tundras and replaced the frames but to date refuses to do the same for sequoias. the vehicle has been determined to be unsafe to drive at this time. aside from the defects stated above the vehicle is in excellent condition. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2003 toyota sequoia sr5. when pressure was applied to the brake pedal, the vsc/abs/brake controller warning light illuminated intermittently on the instrument panel and the front end of the vehicle began shaking excessively. the vehicle was taken to the dealer multiple times in which the technicians concluded that the computerized system sensor failed. the technicians replaced the translate computer, the ecu, the transmission temperature sensor, and the brake power booster. none of the repairs have remedied the failure. the manufacturer was investigating the failures. the failure mileage was 9,322 and the current mileage was 122,000. updated 11/10/09 *cn the consumer stated the vsc/brake and abs lights have been on, since taking ownership of the vehicle. when the lights are on, the front of the vehicle shakes and the vehicle looses power for approximately 2-3 seconds and then regains power again. the skid control computer and brake power booster were replaced. updated 11/16/09 | |||
