Consumer Description

I NOTICED A LEAK IN THE DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC VERIFIED MY OBSERVATION THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS RUSTED THROUGH. I CONTACTED TWO TOYOTA DEALERS. ONLY ONE WAS RESPONSIVE WITH THE INFORMATION THAT TOYOTA ISN'T GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. A SEARCH ONLINE REVEALS THAT MY SITUATION IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I AM STUNNED THAT NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY INVOLVED IN SAFETY AND CONSUMER PROTECTION IS ON THIS. THE TRUCK HAS ABOUT 80000 MILES ON IT. THE BODY IS EXCELLENT. THE FRAME IS FAIR AND OF COURSE THE DIFFERENTIAL/REAR AXLE HOUSING IS DUST. THE VEHICLE IS A POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD AND TO PROTECT CEO SALARIES POSSIBLY, THERE IS A LACK OF GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE ACTION--IF THERE IS ANY SEPARATION THERE. AS EVIDENCED BY MY SITUATION AND THOSE OF MANY OTHERS. *TR
