Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA TUNDRA DOWN HIGHWAY TRUCK STARTED TO DRIVE ERRATICALLY. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT RUST ON ENTIRE FRAME. STEERING RACK HAD SEPARATED FROM FRAME AND STRUTS WERE RUSTED OUT. SAME FRAME AS TACOMA WHY HAS TOYOTA NOT RESPONDED TO PROBLEM. I CALLED DEALER WHO TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA. THE CALL TO TOYOTA WAS USELESS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I WISH THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND TAKE CARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEBODY TOYOTA WILL DESERVE ALL THE SUITS THAT WILL COME THERE WAY. *TR
