| Description of the problem | During our 2013 inspection we were told we have severe corrosion in the under carriage... We took it to the toyota dealership where we were told there has been a recall on 2000,2001,2002,2003. Not 2004. Our tundra was built in march 2004 and has the same corrosion. However, no recall yet. We just had our 2014 inspection done and the vehicle failed. We can no longer put it on the road... So- we have a 10 year old vehicle, 30,800 miles and if we want to have the corrosion repaired it will cost approx. $10,000... Is there anything you can do to help? Are there any class action law suits we could join? I'm sure there are other similar makes and models on the road with this very issue. Unbelievable possibility of accidents. We even had to take the spare tire off from under the vehicle as we feared it would fall off on the highway... |
