| Description of the problem | The recall on my 2007 toyota tundra for rusted frame was inspected by the dealer who said they would spray it with rust prohibitive. I was a mechanic for many years and if the frame is not stripped down and sandblasted to metal there is no guaranteed method to stop the rusting. Toyota should be made to replace all the frames otherwise in a few years there will be more broken frames on the roads. I don't know if your office was involved in the class action suite but i am reasonable sure lawyers and judges no nothing of mechanics or engineering. I plan of keeping my truck for many more years and if the frame fails then i will getting legal counsel for a recourse to some entity be it government or commercial. If you all take your jobs seriously than this needs to be resolved soonest before toyotas are falling apart on the highways and killing people. They made the error and they should pay for it not us!!!! |
