| Description of the problem | 2005 tundra with major frame rust. Took it in during the original recall where they sprayed the frame with a "rust preventative coating" which fell off in a year. The frame is now dangerously rusty and toyota refuses to do anything more. Toyota needs to be held responsible for replacing all of the affected frames, not just the ones that didn't pass their "inspection" back when the original recall happened. The rust through problem is a very well known issue and there are thousands of tundras and tacomas on the road that are dangerously rusty because of toyota's faithless response to the problem. Toyota needs to be forced to replace the remaining frames that were part of the recall. |
