Last year my car while traveling at a speed of 50 MPH just collapsed. My ball joints fell completely off. My the grace of god I wasn't killed because I was on the interstate. I have since had it repaired but not by a toyota dealer. At the time as now, all my lights were lit vsc trac, ABS etc. I have had this problem throughout having this toyota and it has been very costly. Now as we speak my car is at a dealer and I can only imagine they will tell me it's the faulty computer chip.
2001 toyota sequoia was recalled due to corrosion of the frame. All parts such as the back plates for the brakes, tie rod ends, stabilizer bars, and many more attached had rust when it went into the shop. However, toyota did not care that the rust had spread. I could have wrecked several times due to the negligence of toyota. It has been costly and the car is not the same since the transfer of the frame. Rust spreads as cancer and is as deadly when it is under your car.
