Description of the problem	Toyota has blatantly stated they put faulty frames on their 2003 tacomas and as a result of this, the frames would rust because of coating not being put on properly. Toyota even won a lawsuit from the company who made the frames. Now, toyota does not want to make good on the rusted frames on these tacomas. Our frame may not pass inspection due to the rust and if in the event, this frame causes harm to my family, a lawsuit will be filed by me against toyota. After many contacts via email and phone, toyota states that we did not contact them in the time frame they gave regarding the frame problem. Well, you only contact a company about something when the problem is brought to your attention and in our case, was too late. There should not have been a time frame put on this and there should have been a recall done on all these frames. When a person dies from these rusted frames breaking in half while driving, then maybe someone will do something.
