| Description of the problem | I'm writing you because i had my 2001 tacoma inspected for the frame rust recall in 2010. At that time i was told that my truck would be sprayed with an inhibitor to prevent rust. The vehicle frame has since rusted and is most likely unsafe to drive. The spray inhibitor obviously did not work or was applied incorrectly. The shock mount has rusted from the frame while driving on a city street. |
