NHTSA Complaint #10371183 — 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA FOR A RUSTED FRAME CROSS MEMBER IN 04/22/10. WENT TO THE DEALER,THEY LOOKED AT IT & SAID THE WHOLE FRAME WAS JUNK,INCLUDING THE CROSS MEMBER. THE SPARE TIRE ALREADY FELL OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE ON TO THE HIGHWAY,NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BY LUCK.I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT TOYOTA WAS BUYING THESE VEHICLES BACK,BUT AFTER (7) CALLS TO TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO REPAIR THEM (REPLACE THE FRAME) AS OF TODAY NOTHING WAS FIXED YET & PIECES OF THE FRAME KEEPS FALLING OFF EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT.THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY GET OK FROM TOYOTA. EVERYTIME I CALL TOYOTA THEY TELL ME I'M ON A LIST (#8) I HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE APRIL, BUT THE LIST SEEMS TO NEVER GO DOWN. TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE, 11//16/2009 I THINK ITS TIME TOYOTA FIXES THE PROBLEM OR BUY THE TRUCKS BACK. I WANT TO LIST, THIS TRUCK HAS NO RUST ON THE BODY AT ALL JUST NOTHING UNDER IT TO HOLD THE GOOD BODY. SO MUCH FOR THEIR "TRUCK OF THE YEAR" WITH THE "EXTRA HEAVY DUTY FRAME". *TR
