| Description of the problem | The frame, rear axle, suspension, brake lines components are severely rusted in particular the frame where it is rusting from the inside out. These frames suffer from the same issue as other toyota trucks where toyota replaced the frames. This rust condition makes these vehicles unsafe to be on the road. Toyota needs to recall of these vehicles before people are hurt. I purchased this vehicles new in 2006 and maintained it well. I addressed the external rust but can not prevent the internal rust. The frames need to be replaced or the vehicle brought back and disposed of. |
