Description of the problem | During an oil change the mechanic noticed the frame just in front of the leaf spring bracket was severely rusted through making it dangerous to drive. We did have toyota supposedly address a potential rust situation in 2012. However, this damage should not have occurred if this was supposedly addressed. We have contacted toyota and they have told us that there is no assistance that they can provide at this time. We are concerned that there are potentially many other vehicles with the same issue and are totally unaware of their dangerous situation. |
