Consumer Description

THE WHOLE FRAME HAS RUSTED AND ERODED CAUSING THE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY TO DROP FROM THE CARRIAGE AND COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK.THE FRAME IS SHOT. NO ONE (BODY REPAIR SHOPS ) WILL TOUCH IT FOR LIABILITY REASONS. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL ON THIS LIKE THE ONES FOR THE TOYOTA TACOMAS . BUT I'M SURE I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE. I CAN NOT RESELL IT IN ITS PRESENT STATE AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I COULD NOT DO THAT. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME HELP. I DO NOT THINK A TRUCK SHOULD COMPLETELY ROT AWAY IN 14 YEARS. *TR
