Description of the problem	I own a 2001 toyota tacoma doublecab that i purchased used in 2008. I recently received a letter from toyota stating that i should make an appointment to have the frame checked out for corrosion and rust. I did and it failed inspection. It was perforated on both sides of the frame and had excessive rust. Toyota offered to replace the frame rather than buy the truck back. I do not feel safe in this vehicle anymore. The rear bumper is rotted through, the frame , and by doing research i've found several recalls that i was unaware of. They want to break down the truck to the frame and replace and rebuild it with the same old parts in a dealership, not a manufacturing plant. I was told that toyota does not buy back 2001 tacomas and refuses to negotiate to get this vehicle off the road. This vehicle was not rebuilt when i bought it and think that it is very unfair that i only have one option. This vehicle is unsafe and i will no longer drive it even if they replace the frame. The consumer should have an option to have the vehicle bought back for what it is worth at least.
