Consumer Description

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA TO HAVE MY FRAME REVIEWED FOR RUST DAMAGE. THIS OCCURRED IN 2012, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD AFTER INSPECTION THAT MY TRUCK SHOWED NO RUST. I RETAINED THE PAPERWORK INDICATING SUCH. ON 12/30/2014 I TOOK MY TRUCK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN THE TRUCK WENT UP ON THE LIFT IT ACTUALLY BROKE IN HALF. THE SHOP HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND WAS AMAZED AT THE VOLUME OF RUST INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. I CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALER BECAUSE I HEARD OF THESE TRUCKS BEING RECALLED FOR FRAME PROBLEMS. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME? PLEASE HELP ME. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK? *TR
