Description of the problem	I live in virginia. There was a safety recall for inspection of the truck frame for rust corrosion. At the time vehicle had the recall i was being treated for a mental disability and in mental hospitals. I was not of sound mind or judgment to understand the "recall notice". While having oil changed by the toyota dealer the frame of the truck was noted to have holes in the frame caused by rust. Toyota motor corporation has refused to replace the frame of the truck honoring the recall even though i provided the necessary information from doctors providing documentation of my illness at the time of the recall. On march 14, 2013, the vehicle was taken in for a safety recall for rust of the spare tire carrier; which could fall off causing an accident. The toyota dealer replaced the spare tire carrier consisting of two metal plates with four bolts that was bolted to a defective frame that has holes due to corrosion; also, they replaced supports that runs between the two frame rails; they did not replace the cable nor the rusted part that holds the wheel to the previous assembly parts. This has not fixed the issue because they have only replaced the spare tire carrier plate onto a frame that has holes due to rust that is not safe to drive. I need this vehicle as i am on disability and limited income; i want the frame replaced or a new truck with the same options as i have on the 2001 tacoma. Toyota received a 25 million dollar settlement from dana corporation, supplier of the tacoma truck frames, proper antirust preventative was not applied to prevent corrosion, which was a cost saving for one or both companies. From 1995 to 2004 the tacoma trucks have had this problem. By replacing the frame toyota would not be losing any money because they got their money from dana corp supplier of the tacoma frames.
