Consumer Description

HI, THE FRAME IS EXTREMELY RUSTED. IT HAD A SMALL TEAR ON A WELD. NOW IT HAS A LARGE TEAR IN THE FRAME. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS RUSTING AT ALL THE WELD POINTS AT A ACCELERATED RATE AND OR THE FRAME ITSELF IS NOT THICK ENOUGH. I HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT OWN THIS CAR AND THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH. I KNOW THAT THE TACOMA HAS BEEN RECALLED AND IT HAS THE EXACT SAME FRAME-------PLEASE ADVISE AS THIS CAR IS NOT EVEN 20 YEARS OLD......THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE AND IN NO WAY SHOULD BE READY FOR THE JUNK YARD........
