| Description of the problem | Our 2001 toyota tacoma was in for muffler repair when the tech noticed rust on the frame. He said that it was over a 2ft section on one side he could put both hands through and a small section on the other side. Since toyota extended their warranty for the same problem on veh yrs 95-2000, i think they have acknowledged enough of a prob that they should include other years if newer trucks than that are exhibiting problems. One tech that looked at our truck said that it prob could not be fixed/ welded. We are still getting other estimates and will prob have to have a toyota tech look at it just to have it on the record. |
