| Description of the problem | I have a 2010 crewmax with 79k miles. During a recent visit to a local body shop they noticed that the bed of the truck was rusting in four separate places where the cross members attach to the frame. A tsb was issued, obviously a known issue from toyota, but i never received via mail. The truck was serviced at local dealership but this issue was never checked. It has a factory installed toyota bedliner. When purchased, i had the undercoating applied with the expectation that this would prevent the rusting. However, since the rust begins from the bottom it is not easily identified. I have spoken with both the dealership and made a phone call to toyota corp to no avail. The dealership claims no responsibility and corporate is standing firm on the 5 year warranty. Very disheartening to spend that amount of money on a truck that has a known issue and the company will not back it up. I am fond of the vehicle but if it is remedied i will not recommend nor purchase another toyota for myself or my family. |
