Description of the problem | My 2003 toyota with currently 77,197 miles was recalled multiple times for frame inspections for excessive rust and corrosion with the first time resulting in toyota applying a corrosion-resistant treatment back on 6/25/2010. Unfortunately after inspecting my frame and undercarriage recently i noticed the corrosion and rust getting worse. I had my frame inspected at my dealership back in june of 2013 with the dealer stating the frame was in good condition. I currently restrict my driving to around town because i fear for myself and my families safety. |
