| Description of the problem | Continued from previous complaint- 10235644 -frame issues, 2001 toyota tacoma- ..... Attorney general of new york state and several lawyers. A letter was posted in the dealership that they are not allowed to refuse to look at a 2001 to 2004 tacoma that someone brings in with frame concerns. It is an insult that a company that we loved, that prides it's self on quality service and customer happiness would do something so discriminatory to a toyota owner. We are of the mind that we will never buy another toyota due to this experience. We want everyone who owns a 2001 and up tacoma to know that their trucks are possibly dangerous if they have been in states that use road salt in the winter months. We were driving a time bomb, and think that anyone who owns a tacoma should join in a class-action suit against toyota. They knew we were driving these trucks with our families in them. We were driving these trucks in places that could have killed someone else. Please help us to get back what is entitled to us and everyone else they are hiding it from. Thank you for your time. |
