Description of the problem | My tundra was recently diagnosed with critical frame damage that will not pass pa. State inspection. The vehicle was serviced by toyota for most of it,s life and all frame recalls were completed. The truck has 136,078 miles and is in very good condition. My recent claim with toyota was rejected based on the their interruptation that all required recalls were done and there is nothing toyota can due for me. There are numerous problems with toyotas response. The first beginning that when i picked the truck up after the frame recall treatment i asked the tech how the frame looked, he said good but there is a separation starting at the driver side rear leaf spring. That is exactly where my problem lies today. I believe toyota covered up the problem by treating the frames rather then replacing them in an attempt to save money. How many vehicles covered under this warranty were treated in the same manner and are still currently driving on the roads today? How many of the recalled vehicles now pose a problem to all motorist. Please look into this |
