Description of the problem	I bought this truck in june 2014 from a private dealership in virginia, then moved from maryland to seattle. I had it inspected in maryland, it passed, but i discovered that the frame was rusted completely through- the leaf springs are not even attached, making it unsafe to drive. I contacted toyota, and the previous owner had the rust treatment applied in 2011, but the extended warranty expired in 2013, so they are refusing to help. I have only had this truck 9 months and it is basically worthless and dangerous.
