Description of the problem | Rust perforation on 1998 to 2004 toyota tacoma frames and undercarriages, the dealer stated was due to improperly manufactured frames. Toyota customer care told me that the voluntary frame recall on my 2003 tacoma for frame rust expired in march of 2011 and they would not do anything to correct the problem. The frames of certain year toyota tacoma are defective and were not properly made and are subject to rapid rust perforation. Toyota should be required to correct the problem. Their voluntary program should be made mandatory. |
