Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 toyota sequoia and the front left ball joint is making a popping noise. i contacted toyota and they told me they are not offering a remedy campaign for the 2001 toyota sequoia. they have a remedy campaign on the sequoia and tundra for 2002-2004. they are not offering a remedy campaign for the 2001 sequoia even though the front ends are the same. i am concerned not only for my family, other owners and the general public that walk, ride and drive on our public roads. when the ball joints fails the vehicle will wreck and cause serious injuries to all people in the vehicle or close to the accident. it does not make any since that the 2002-2004 sequoia and tundras have a remedy campaign and the 2001 sequoia does not when they have the same front end. *nm
