| Description of the problem | I took my truck to the toyota dealer because of a noise in the front end. It turns out the frame at the attachment points for the stabilization bar was badly rusted. There are rust holes in the frame and the attachment point on the left side had rusted free of the frame and the other side is not to far behind. Toyota has a history of rusted frames but according to the vin number it is not part of the current recalls. I was told sorry we can't fix it. This is not right!!!! Can you help. |
