MY 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LIMITED HAS A DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR MIRROR WITH MOTORS IN IT. THE MOTOR THAT RETRACTS IT TO THE BODY IS STUCK ON AND AS A RESULT, I HAD TO DISABLE ALL THE ELECTRICAL POWER THAT CONTROLS THE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MIRRORS INCLUDING THE MIRROR GLASS (BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE). AS A RESULT THE DRIVER CANNOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS AS THEY ARE REMOTE-CONTROLLED. MY WIFE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE SHE CANNOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS ANY MORE. THE MIRRORS CANNOT BE HAND ADJUSTED FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE DEFECTIVE MIRROR ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE REPAIRED, EXCEPT FOR REPLACING THE ENTIRE UNIT (TOYOTA SAYS) AND THEY DO NOT "CURRENTLY" HAVE A RECALL, ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT (IE. TUNDRA/SEQUOIA USER'S GROUPS) I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT AND TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS AS THE PART ALONE RETAILS FOR 400-600 DOLLARS. *TR
