Consumer Description

I CALLED TOYOTA IN 2012 TO ASK ABOUT FRAME. WAS TOLD I DIDN'T QUALIFY. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO FRAME IN A 2 YEAR PERIOD. LAST FALL THE GAS TANK FELL OFF. FRAME SO RUSTED IT WOULDN'T HOLD IT. CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN, AS RECOMMENDED BY MECHANIC, WAS TOLD I DIDN'T QUALIFY. WENT TO DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIR ON SPARE TIRE HOLDER, THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. TOO RUSTED. TOLD ME IT S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA. I DID. TOLD ME I DIDN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE RECALL EXPIRED. EXPIRED?! I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE!! I HAVE LIVED AT THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 32 YEARS. THEY FOUND ME THIS TIME, THEY SHOULD HAVE FOUND ME FOR THAT ONE. NOW WHAT? I AM OUT WELL OVER $3500 DOLLARS I'VE PAID OUT THE LAST 3 YRS AND ITS NOT SAFE! NEED HELP HERE. *JS
