Billy sent a message to Akio Toyoda President and CEO, Toyota Motor Corporation – email address that said:
Dear Toyota, My wife and I purchased a brand new 2008 Toyota Tundra that we have loves and driven all over the country. After 5 years we finally paid it off. We were definitely going to purchase a Toyota Sequoia, our dream SUV, but since I'm retired military, am now a police officer and my wife is disabled after a work accident, we were not able to afford a Sequoia. And just as bad luck would have it, a car ran a red light at a high rate of speed, slamming into the passenger side where our 10 and 11 year old grandkids were sitting. Thanks to the toughness of the truck, seat belts and side airbags, their lives were spared. We would love to speak out for Toyota on how you saved all our lives and in exchange, maybe you can get our payments where we can afford them. Thank you for giving my family the gift of life, even if you ignore my request about the sequoia. Thank you for your time, Billy
