| Description of the problem | Hi, i just want to express my concern for my vehicle as i love my tacoma and how it drives and works for me in my daily life. As i had took my vehicle in for a recall on my spare tire cable, the technician and service man had told me that in my frame of my vehicle there is a large rusted out hole. Since then, i really haven't felt safe driving my vehicle anywhere as i'm afraid that my frame will break and cause a really bad accident. I've also have had in the past where my dad's vehicle (1998 toyota tacoma) was recalled for the same exact thing (frame issue). As for my vehicle, i am the second owner and my brother was the first. This vehicle has been here in the minnesota weather all its life time. Please do something about this, if not, i will push this forward where i will get some attention to my vehicle, my safety, and others. And plus, i wouldn't want to make this into a legal matter as i love my toyota. |
