Consumer Description

1. 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA FRAME RUST. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK LOCALLY HERE IN SPRINGFIELD MO, IT WAS PURCHASED HERE ORIGINALLY. IT WAS CERTIFIED BY TOYOTA. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE FRAME IS RUSTING FROM FRONT TO BACK. SOME OF THE RUST IS REALLY EATING INTO THE METAL (NOT JUST SURFACE RUST). I KNOW THEY HAVE RECALLED MANY 1995-2000 VEHICLES, BUT I FEAR THAT THEY WILL BEGIN TO SEE FRAME ROT ON THESE 2005 + TACOMA'S AS WELL (SOME WHERE THE FRAME BUSTED IN HALF IN THE FRONT). I HAVE READ ONLINE OF MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. *TR
