Problems with 2004 Toyota Sequoia STRUCTURE

Rear door will not open at all. rear window also will not work. i find this a safety issue as someone could be trapped inside if there was a crash. also can not access spare tire. toyota should recall this ay their expense. there are way too many complaints on this issue even after people have paid for repairs, it breaks again. safety comes first. *tr

Tl* the contact owns 2004 toyota sequoia. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for routine maintenance when he was informed that there was a four inch hole in the frame. the hole was the result of corrosion. the dealer stated that in order to repair the vehicle, the frame needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance because the vehicle was not included in any recalls. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 255,000.

2004 toyota sequoia. the rear door (hatch) external door handle fails mid way during normal operation leading the door to continuously be ajar during vehicle operation. door handle is disabled and there is no other way to open/close door (there is no internal handle). total failure. local toyota dealer service department stated that this part fails often on toyota sequoias and toyota siennas. search of internet website reveals failure is due to use of "cheap plastic parts" on this essential piece of vehicle equipment. *tr

The trac control off and vsc light along with brake light come and we lose acceleration and power steering. the car almost comes to a stop. also there is a crunching noise coming from the brakes. we keep taking it to the dealer and they keep replacing parts. already replaced the skid control computer. it did nothing still have problems. they are replacing the brake booster assembly tomorrow. it cost me 2,000 and they still don't know what is the problem. *tr

Excessive rusting under the truck, including the axle, brake areas and gas tank. *tr

The frame is rusted through in large, weight-bearing areas. some of the holes are 3 inches or more in diameter. i have been told it is dangerous to drive. toyota had a rust proofing recall around 2012. they sprayed some tar-like material on it which did no good. i am the original owner and have taken good care of the vehicle. this frame is every bit as bad as all the sequoia frames toyota recalled and replaced from model year 2005 on. i deserve the same treatment as the later owners with their rusted frames. less important but annoying is the rust on the body over the left read wheelwell which is glaringly obvious when a passenger opens that door. you can see right through that part of the body. it happened within a few years of purchase.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota sequoia. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership because the lift gate was corroded. the vehicle was repaired at that time. the contact stated that the lift gate was rusted again and unable to lock properly. the vehicle had not been taken to the dealership for diagnostic testing and had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. the contact believed that the steel used for the lift gate was defective. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000 the approximate current mileage was 139,000.

While driving front driver/passenger doors vibrated heavily. dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *ak
