| Description of the problem | My 2007 toyota tundra sr5 has a very bad frame and under body rust issue (i have multiple pictures and videos i can provide). Last august, i found out on a toyota forum that there is a recall/class action settlement for this issue http://www. Toyotaframesettlement. Com i have contacted toyota coorporate on (or around) 08/03/2018 (incident: 180803-000275) for more information and asked where i should take my truck for inspection. I was told they can't help because my truck was built (of configured) for the canadian market. I contacted toyota canada (1-888-869-6828) and was told they can't help because i don't reside in canada and the frame settlement is only for residents https://www. Clg. Org/class-action/list-of-class-actions/toyota-rusty-frame-canadian-class-action . I have already spent over $1500 worth of brake cables, tensioner and other rusted parts. I was told, this truck is very unsafe to drive. I have tried everything and nobody is listening. This situation is causing me a lot of sleepless nights and stress. I'm planning to contact my lawyer next week to discuss out options if there is no resolution. I can provide a recording of all my conversations with toyota agents. Thanks, |
