Consumer Description
I NOTICED AROUND AUGUST 2006 ONE RUST SPOT ON THE BODY OF MY 2005 TUNDRA, THESE GREW TO ABOUT 12 SPOTS BY 2007 AND NOW I HAVE ABOUT 15 SMALL RUST SPOTS, THE LARGEST ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. THEY START OUT BUBBLING UP THE PAINT UNTIL THE PAINT CORRODES AND FALLS OFF AND THE PROBLEM GETS BIGGER. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET TOYOTA TO CORRECT THIS (FROM OCTOBER 2007 UNTIL NOW JUNE 2008) I AM ATTEMPTING TO WARN ALL BUYERS TO BEWARE OF THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM, AND BE AWARE OF THE PROMISES YOU GET FROM THE VAN TROW TOYOTA DEALERS FROM MONROE, LA. I WAS ASKED TO GIVE THEM A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO "GET TO IT, THEY WERE TOO BUSY", THEN I WAS TOLD THAT MOTHER NATURE HAS DONE THIS,,, IN GENERAL, GETTING THE RUN-AROUND. THIS TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY CARPORT, WASHED EVERY TWO WEEKS, AND STILL SMELLS AND LOOKS NEW ON THE INSIDE. I ONLY HAVE 23,000 ON THIS TRUCK, IT WAS BOUGHT JUNE 30, 2005. YES, THEY ARE GETTING THE WARRANTY TO RUN OUT. CAN SOMEONE ADVISE ME WHO TO COMPLAIN TO BESIDES NHTSA? THANKS *TR
