| Description of the problem | I took my 2004 toyota tundra to a toyota dealer in vermont due to the frame recall letter from toyota where the frame would be checked and either replaced or undercoated. The toyota dealer determined it only needed to be undercoated. The truck was undercoated on june 25th 2015. I just had my truck looked at by an independent garage due to a front end issue and they asked me to come look at the truck on the lift and they showed me where on the rear part of the frame it was separating. How can this be possible? That approximately 9 months after the frame was diagnosed by a toyota dealer to only need an undercoating that my truck frame is now separating and will likely not hold up for another year per the mechanic at the garage. |
