 Description of the problemWas taking it to have its oil changed and noticed a small puddle of oil under the rear axle setting in my driveway when i took it back to the dealer i ask them to check the rear axle to see were the oil was coming from they told me that the axle housing had rusted through toyota wont cover it under warranty because warranty dosnt cover rust and it is going to cost me 3600. 00 for them to fix it . To me i think this is a bunch of bull this truck only has 70192 miles on it there is no way this should of rusted out causing a major safety issue if i didn't notice this the rear axle could have lost all of its oil causing a major malfunction the axle could of locked up broke the axle causing to loose controll creating a bad accident they say it dosnt cover rust but yet i got a recall notice to bring it in to have the frame inspected for extreme rust corrosion. This dosnt make much sence to me they will cover the rusty frame which is great but they wont cover the rusted out rear axle that could cause a catastrophic accident as well as the frame.
