Description of the problem | After proper maintenance and also being told that this 2002 tundra was not recalled due to frame rust and disintegration, this vehicle is now deemed unfit by three independent mechanics/welders due to holes in the frame. There is pervasive and extensive damage. When assistance from toyota was sought, a case manager was assigned (case number 1405021511) and the final ruling was that our tundra did not qualify for the recall and therefore toyota was not responsible. It is negligent on the part of toyota to not offer any assistance in finding a solution to this problem. The frame issue is a direct result of negligent manufacture. |
