| Description of the problem | frame is so rusted out that the front suspension has nothing to support it. The truck can no longer be safely driven. Toyota had me take the truck in and have the frame checked for rust in 2015. At that time they told the frame was good. I contacted the local dealer on 2/17 this year and they could not help me and that i would have to contact corporate. I contacted them same day and was told since they checked it once there was nothing else they could do for me. Hard to believe the frame could so completely deteriorate in that five year period. I know i'm not the only one having this problem. I hope something can be done to help all these people out. |
