Consumer Description

IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY FRAME IS TOTALLY CORRODED (ROTTED) AND WOULD "SNAP" IN THE NEAR TERM. THE SPRINGS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE FRAME IS AT RISK OF BREAKING FREE FROM THE FRAME AND THE FRAME BREAKING IN TWO. MY TRUCK IS BARELY NINE YEARS OLD. I AM ONE OF THOSE RARE AUTO OWNERS WHO KEEP THEIR VEHICLES FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT HAD PROBLEMS WITH CORRODED FRAMES - EVER AND I HAVE HAD A FEW VEHICLES THAT WERE IN MY OWNERSHIP FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS AND IS THE REASON I AM ABLE TO OWN THEM FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. MY REPUTABLE AUTO REPAIR SERVICES MERCHANT TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN NUMEROUS TOYOTA TRUCKS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS - MINE WAS THE WORST CASE HE HAS EVER SEEN. I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA HAS MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND IS DOING NOTHING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I AM AT RISK OF HAVING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO GIVE THIS TRUCK UP AND PURCHASE A RELIABLE VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN HELP. *TR
