| Description of the problem | I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing. I am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If i fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tires i have called and emailed toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense. |
