Consumer Description

IN OCTOBER 2008 I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD ABOUT UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF FRAME RUST. THEY GAVE ME A STICKER BUT SAID IT MIGHT NOT PASS INSPECTION NEXT TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE RUST ON THE FRAME. THEY SAID IT WAS JUST SURFACE RUST. JULY 22, 2009 I HAD IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE " SOME BUCKLING IN THE FRAME FROM EXCESSIVE RUSTING." THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA. I WILL DO THAT TOMORROW. *TR
