Consumer Description

THE FRAME HAS CORROSION. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS ITEM. THEY SAID THE ONLY REMEDY WAS A FRAME UNDER COATING BUT THAT THIS OFFER HAD EXPIRED. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS DISCOVERED ON COUNTLESS OTHER TOYOTA TRUCKS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ITEM IS NOT A REQUIRED REPAIR. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN KEPT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A CONDITION BEYOND MY CONTROL. THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE CORROSION WAS FOUND. THIS TRUCK WAS ALSO FOUND TO HAVE A CORRODED SPARE TIRE HOLDER, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL. I BELIEVE THE FRAME CORROSION SHOULD BE REPAIRED AS WELL.
