Description of the problem | Vehicle infected with extreme frame rust. Motor support ; transmission and transfer case support; power steering tubing rusted holes making steering impossible. The dealership known as ramey toyota has my truck and charging me with unnecessary charges on towing the vehicle to their facility due to a spring clip become loose allowing the vehicle's right rear wheel to sway therefore it had to be towed. Contacted toyota authorized the tow as well as a vehicle to ride so they can replace the leaf spring. Toyota now denies they authorized these two issues and left me with holding the charges. They called the towing service and not i so therefore i am not responsible. Please note all the aggravation caused from the above and added danger from this vehicle is the rust on the frame! Please contact this dealership and get the dangers of driving this truck on the road. It is completely unsafe due to all that is mentioned here. Please contact toyota as well that they are saying i called the towing service. Trust me this vehicle is extremely dangerous to drive due to all the rust and if something happens then you have this information that you and i can lean back on in case something does happen upon driving the vehicle. Thank you very much. I have taken pictures and videos of the vehicles rust and have tried to up load them to you but your system will not accept the images. |
