| Description of the problem | "framing issue" i discovered on july 23, 2017 the framing on my truck as already corroding with front drivers side of the frame beginning to completely rot with the metal becoming brittle and crumbling leaving holes in the frame. Toyota corporation had a recall regarding the frames for this vehicle which were not protected for the northeast winter weather conditions. They applied an anti-corrosin spray in hopes that the problem would be corrected, but the results three years later is the framing has been subjected to corrosion which may render the frame to complete support failure. Speaking with christeen, case manager at toyota (800-331-4331, ext 73811: case #1707240770), failed to rectify the problem in saying there is no open case regarding this issue, therefore toyota will not take responsibility. She further went on to say that toyota extended a courtesy in recalling the 2006 toyota tundras for this problem to all customers even those being outdside the warranty timeline (at time of recall my truck had 93,000 miles). They believed that this anti-corrosion spray would allow the frames an extended life period before the corrosion would eventually rot out the frames completely. She apologized in saying there is nothing more she could do and hoped that there was another avenue she could take in resolving this problem. |
