Consumer Description

I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LITE CHECKED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. THE TUNDRA REQUIRED A COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM INCLUDING CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AT A COST OF $4000.00. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND NOTIFIED TOYOTA. TOYOTA WILL PAY TO REPLACE THE FRAME. HOWEVER THE 2004 MODEL YEAR IS NOT PART OF A RECALL. *TR
