Description of the problem | Toyota tundra continue to have corrosion and rust on frame,last inspection on 1/1/12 in a toyota dealership they check for corrosion and did not find any,which is not accurate because as of 9/1/14 rust and a actual hole and crack was found by a certified frame technician.. He said this should have been caught in year of 2012 because metal does not rust that quickly. It takes more that a couple years to actually cause a hole and cracks. Toyota just did a visual and did not look thoroughly , they did not want to go to the expense of taking care of the problem leaving a unsafe vehicles on the roads and risking people lives. |
