| Description of the problem | The tacoma frame rust on my truck is beyond repair. I am putting myself and my family in danger every time i drive it. I called toyota corporate office and they basically told me they cannot not do anything for me. Toyota however gave me a case number [xxx] that was about a year ago. The telephone numbers for that is 8003314331. Four months ago i brought the tacoma for a tire carriage recall at our local dealer which it was about to fall off. They took some pictures of the rotted frame and sent them to toyota corporate office. Again the long anticipated wait. I know i am not the only one who is left out. I cannot sell this vehicle because it is dangerous. Please look into this matter for the many customers that have the 2001 -2004 toyota frame rotted and was left out. Thank you.
