| Description of the problem | In 2018 i brought my 2007 to my dealer (acton toyota littleton mass.) to have an extended warranty check on the frame. They found it to be rusted enough to keep it several days for rust treatment . A year or so later my mechanic told me that i had a severe underbody rust problem. At this time toyota refused to take care of it because i was 2 weeks beyond the extended warranty. Toyota originally replaced a lot of the rusted frames and also treated others. I now have a vehicle that has less than 80,000 miles and may be unsafe to drive. I feel that the rust protection was a temporary solution to pacify customers like myself . |
