Consumer Description

TOOK 1997 TOYOTA TACOMA TO DEALER IN AUGUST OF 2011 FOR FRAME RUST RECALL. WAS TOLD FRAME WAS FINE AND THEY WOULD SPRAY FRAME WITH RUSTPROOFING MATERIAL AT NO COST. RETURNED TO DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2014 FRAME WAS RUSTING THROUGH. TOLD BY DEALER THEY COULD RESPRAY BUT WERE NOW NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RUST THROUGH AND SAID I COULD CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID SO AND THEY SAID THAT RECALL CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I BELIEVE I ORIGINALLY RETURNED TO DEALER WHEN RECALL WAS IN EFFECT AND ALL THEY DID WAS HIDE THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE RECALL EXPIRED. THEIR LIFETIME RUSTPROOFING LASTED ONLY 3 YEARS. *JS
