Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SCHEDULED 95K MILE SERVICE. I WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALER AND TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS "NOT WORTH WORKING ON BECAUSE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS ROTTED AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN". THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND IS EXCELLENT CONDITION IN ALL OTHER ASPECTS. I SEE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPEN IN OTHER ON-LINE SITES. TOYOTA HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME MODEL YEAR (2000 TUNDRA) FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM YET THIS ONE HAS BEEN IGNORED. *TR
