Description of the problem | Both sides of my frame are rusted in front of the rear wheels . The left side has a large rusted crack where the leaf springs connect to the frame. The right side has a roasted whole large enough that i can put my hand inside. I contacted toyota corporate and they told me they were very sorry but all their campaigns were expired and they had to tell thousands of other people the same thing. Vehicle is unsafe to drive and could cause me or someone else harm at any time. If toyota has talked to thousands of other people about the same problem, it seems to me they should be responsible for their faulty equipment . Updated 11/19/15.*jb |
