| Description of the problem | I had my 2007 57,800 mile tundra inspected at my toyota dealer when i was informed that the frame/under vehicle is "very rusty". Upon inspection by myself the entire frame is rusting and flaking off. The service tech played stupid and referred me to corporate(800-331-4331). She also said it passed inspection and there are no holes in the frame. I guess that makes it all ok. Corporate informed me that my truck has no "warranty service enhancements" at this time. They are aware of the problem but can offer me no further assistance with this issue, at this time. I should not have severe rust issues with a garage kept 2007 tundra(or any vehicle) at 57,800 miles that i purchased new. I suspect the vehicle will have safety issues within the next 2 years due to the severe rusting of the frame. |
