Description of the problem | 2002 toyota tundra 4wd limited access cab. In dec 2012 brought truck to burnsville toyota for recall. They only sprayed rusted inhibitor paint on frame. Brake warning light came on. Brought truck into local independent shop. They said brake line to rear drum brakes shook lose, due to frame rusting/corrosion away from shock absorber mount. They also stated truck is unsafe to drive because frame and crossmember supports are corroded and rusted beyond repair. Called burnsville toyota and they said, that the recall 3 year warranty had expired and they will do nothing to help. The engine, transmission, and body are still in good shape. Disappointed that toyota would not offer to help with there designed error in frame. |
