Description of the problem	I purchased a 2007 toyota tacoma from bernardi toyota in framingham, ma in december of 2008. Toyota motor sales, usa, inc. Issued a service campaign to inspect and repair the frames of 2007 toyota tacomas due to a manufacturer defect which resulted in corrosion to the vehicles frame. I brought my toyota tacoma in for inspection at bernardi toyota and the frame did not have a hole in it. Therefore, the frame was not eligible for replacement, rather it was only eligible to be sprayed with a coating that was supposed to prevent corrosion. In march of 2016, i received a recall notice for a defect in the manufacturing of the vehicles leaf springs (also corrosion related). I brought the vehicle in for the recall and bernardi toyota noticed a hole in the frame. Bernardi contacted toyota corporate to replace the frame; however, was refused. I contacted toyota as well and they also refused to replace the frame with a known manufacturer defect, despite replacing frames for other customers. It is obvious that the spray applied to the frame did not work to prevent further corrosion. Toyota replaced the frame on trucks with holes in the frame similar to mine, but refuses to replace the frame on my truck even though the problem is directly corrosion related and the spray they applied did not prevent the frame from rusting through. This is a known defect which was not sufficiently addressed by toyota. Toyota should provide me with an equal remedy that they provided to other toyota tacoma owners and that is a frame replacement.
