Consumer Description

I HAD MY 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA CHECKED AND THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT, THE DEALER DEEMED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I CONTACTED TOYOTA THAT SAME NIGHT AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT HOME IF YOU DON;T HAVE A RIDE. DEALER SAID ALL THEY CAN DO IS A FRAME REPLACEMENT AND I SAID THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, WHY ISN'T TOYOTA TREATING THIS THE SAME WAY AS IT DID THE 1995-2000 MODELS??.. I KNOW THAT THE TRUCK WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ONCE THE MECHANICS ARE DONE,, THIS IS LIKE GOING BACK INTO PRODUCTION , AND I KNOW THEY'RE NOT TRAINED FOR THAT.. TOYOTA DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE,, THEY SAID THAT THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WAS DECIDED ON 02/06/09 , MY TRUCK WAS EVALUATED ON 02/18/09 A MATTER OF 12 DAYS,, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF NOTICE ON THIS. MY MECHANIC SAY THE PROBLEM WHEN I WENT FOR MY 3000 MILE OIL CHANGE WHICH I'VE DONE SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK ,,IT ONLY HAS 84000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION.. *TR
