| Description of the problem | The frame has corrosion. The local toyota dealership informed me they would not repair this item. They said the only remedy was a frame under coating but that this offer had expired. This is the same issue that was discovered on countless other toyota trucks. I do not understand why this item is not a required repair. This truck has been kept in excellent shape. The problem is due to a condition beyond my control. The truck was stationary when the corrosion was found. This truck was also found to have a corroded spare tire holder, which is currently under recall. I believe the frame corrosion should be repaired as well. |
