| Description of the problem | 2001 toyota tacoma was recalled in 2011 due to rust/corrosion of the vehicle frame. We promptly followed all recall instructions and took the vehicle to a toyota service center in response to the recall. Toyota treated the frame with a solution and we were advised the the issue was resolved. The vehicle frame recently collapsed / broke in two. I notified toyota of the issue and was assigned a case #1606222761. I was notified today by toyota and they advised that the frame warranty had been extended but that the warranty expired 11/7/2015. They advised that there is no appeal process and no solution. The vehicle is not driveable although the vehicle is is perfect running order and in very good condition (other than a broken frame). The broken frame was not a result of abuse or a specific moment in time - it just collapsed due to corrosion - the very issue of the 2011 recall that we were told had been resolved. |
