| Description of the problem | I recently purchased this 2005 tundra and later found out that the frame of the vehicle was massively rusted and will need to be replaced. This vehicle was part of the toyota frame recall but was never replaced and after contacting toyota they are telling me that they will not replace the frame. Toyota said the frame was 'treated' in 2015 and that should've taken care of any issues. Given the photos this rust has been building for years. This vehicle is not only dangerous to drive but is effectively useless. Considering it only has 77,000 miles on it this level of rust should not be present. |
