| Description of the problem | I feel this is not an isolated case and can lead to catastrophic failure of the alloy wheels on toyota trucks causing serious injury and possible death to driver and/or passengers. Alloy wheels are corroding with only 40,000 miles and toyota won't even call me back. Service manager at northshore toyota in louisiana said it was due to extreme use. This was after a 30 second inspection. When i asked to speak with a factory rep. I was told that would not happen. Since then i have been given the run around by toyota. I have owned and recommended toyota's since 1974 and will now seriously reconsider my position. |
