Description of the problem | The frame on my 2002 toyota tundra is rusting and has holes completely thru the frame. The truck has always been registered and licensed since new and my problem is never receiving a recall notice. When i learned from a friend that tundra frame had been replaced, i called toyota for my frame replacement. Toyota said the recall expired and refused to make the repair. Other that the frame, the truck is in excellent condition because it has been well maintained. It is sad to have an excellent truck setting on a frame that is rusting away. How can toyota sell a defective truck and identify it as unsafe, fail to contact the owner and then refuse to repair the truck saying the owner missed the deadline. Toyota could have contacted me but i never received any notification. I asked if toyota could offer any credit on a replacement, even some consideration on a new tundra and toyota refused to make any effort to assist me. I currently own four toyotas. Buyers beware! |
