| Description of the problem | Last month while driving my toyota tacoma a loud bang was heard from under the truck. To my dismay, the right rear shock mount pulled free from the frame due to rust that was to have be corrected at my dealership under the toyota truck frame recall. I brought it to my dealership and they said it was toyota's choice to either undercoat or replace the frame. My vehicle was undercoated. Unfortunately i now have an unsafe, non-driveable and unsalable vehicle. Toyota should not be permitted to pick and choose which vehicles they repair correctly and which they coverup with undercoating. I appeal to the nhtsa to look into this matter as rust is blistering out from multiple areas under the undercoating. Please help! |
