Description of the problem | I have a 2002 toyota tundra that has been rusting away since the day i bought it new off the lot. It started with the wheels rusting. I brought this up to the dealership many times and they said nothing could be done about it. Next was the tailgate and now the underside of my truck looks like a 20 year old vehicle that was sitting for years. I have heard and read that other tundra owners are having the same problem and i agree that toyota needs to do something about this. Toyota's are not cheap, i bought this vehicle because i thought the quality was suppose to be excellent. I also have a claim in with toyota. |
