| Description of the problem | The frame on the vehicle is rusting. I didn't realize that tacoma's had rusty frame issues until after i purchased the vehicle. I am concerned that this frame will cause unsafe driving conditions if something gives out while driving. I am also concerned about the resale value of a year class of vehicles that are known to have rusty frames. |
