| Description of the problem | I took my toyota tacoma pick up to signature toyota in benton harbor, michigan for a frame recall and the dealer informed me that it was not recalled and i had letter in hand that said it was. Now in december 14, 2014 i took it back to the same dealer for the spare tire recall and they said that it could not be fixed because i did not have the frame recall fixed and i told them that i had it in there and they told me it was not part of the recall. And they would not fix it and toyota will not fix it earthier. They are telling me that the truck is not safe to drive. I took the truck to jorden toyota for a second opinion. I thought that signature was telling me the truth when in fact they weren't. |
