| Description of the problem | 2001 toyota tacoma 4x4 bought new and has 186,000 miles and the frame is almost broke completely into. I have never received any recall on my vehicle. Toyota can say what they want about sending me one but i have never received one. So i must say that we have purchased approximately 4 or 5 new ones and have never experienced anything like this. We have owned probably 9 or 10 used ones. I'm trying to get some help on getting this resolved. I really don't know what to do because toyota promises to stand behind their word, so why can i not get any help. What's going to happen when i am driving down the road and it breaks completely into and causes me to get hurt or maybe killed or hurt someone or causing death to someone. Then what are you going to think about that. I can't work anymore and i can't afford to get this fixed, and i am going to let everyone know exactly how good toyotas have become. Would you want to buy this vehicle, no absolutely not. By looking at this truck you would never expect anything to be wrong with it. I am truly expecting some help with this matter. Thank you |
