| Description of the problem | I purchased my toyota new in 2003 and have had it serviced by the same dealer as per schedule. I have 300469 miles but have rusting frame even though i wash under frame on a regular basis. I have been told by the mechanics at the dealer that is just thw nature of the make. I plan on keeping my car because it runs very well with little or no problems witb exception of rust. The tacoma of the same year was tecslled. For this same reason but not the 4 runner with the same frame |
