Tl* the contact owns a 2003 toyota sequoia. While driving approximately 40 MPH the vehicle suddenly accelerated and the steering wheel locked causing the vehicle to crash into a wall at his residence. The vehicle was towed to an auto body repair shop. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The contact previously experienced a failure with the rear axle detaching from the vehicle. The rear axle was replaced and the vehicle was repaired.
Received a letter from toyota for a limited service campaign, for rusting of the frame. I took my toyota to koons toyota in annapolis, md. They called me the next day and said it failed for rust. There was a hole in my frame and toyota would replace the frame at no cost to me. Then they called me to tell me it would cost $6,400.00 to replace everything under the vehicle, because it was so rusted out that when they took the parts off they would crumble.
