Description of the problem	I live in nc and i noticed the frame of my 2003 toyota tacoma is rusted so bad you can push your fingers through it in some spots! I contacted the local toyota dealership, they ran the vin number on it and told me it no recall is out on the frame. But i have seen on several websites where some 2003 toyota tacoma owners have received either a new frame or been offered by dealerships to purchase the truck back. My question is, this is differently a safety hazard, and for toyota to go by the vin numbers or state in which you live in. And not that it is in "fact" still a toyota tacoma 2003 truck with frame rot, i feel is a "discriminating" or a "discrimination" act on there part.
