| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota tundra. Upon inspection from servco toyota, i was told my frame has holes the size of quarters through it in several places. I was advised to get another vehicle because this one was no good. I also own a 1994 toyota pickup and have no frame or other issues with it. How is it possible that they can use substandard metal on a truck that was $29,000 at purchase, only lasts 10 years and is a hazard to drive on the road. I cannot ever consider or recommend ownership of a toyota again with such terrible quality. Very dismayed at the horrible condition of my 2004 toyota tundra truck frame and the lack of quality from a company that at one times name meant quality. A very sad, disappointing and costly decision to purchase a toyota. |
