| Description of the problem | 2006 toyota tundra truck bed started rusting several years ago. There was a recall for the rusted frame but not the bed. Surrounding metal area surrounding all screws that hold bed onto frame completely rusted. Golf ball size holes in bed as well. Rusting rapidly. When i called toyota corporate, the response was, "if we fix it for you, we have to fix it for everyone." i do not have the monies to repair a defective product. This is not right. Spent too much on this vehicle. Inside bed looks like the current pictures of thetitanic. I am at a complete loss. Should not have to pay for this defect. |
