NHTSA Complaint #10875930 — 2000 TOYOTA TACOMA

THE FRAME ON MY 2000 TACOMA 4X4 CORRODED AND THE RIGHT SIDE LEAF SPRING HOLDING THE THE REAR AXLE ON IS SHIFTED MOVING THE WHOLE AXLE SEVERAL INCHES BACKWARDS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, ON THE VERGE OF DETACHING COMPLETELY. MY BELOVED TACOMA IS UNDRIVEABLE, AND CRAIGSLIST IN KANSAS CITY WON'T LET ME SELL IT SINCE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD, EVEN THOUGH I FULLY DISCLOSE EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE FRAME, AND INCLUDE EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS. SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO RESTORE THE FRAME AND HAVE THE MEANS TO DO SO. I CONTACTED TOYOTA U.S.A. AND WAS TOLD I'M TO LATE FOR RECALL: JULY OF 2015 WAS MY DEADLINE, 15 YEARS FROM THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED BY SOMEONE, ALLOWING UNLIMITED MILES, AND UNLIMITED OWNERS. TOYOTA SHOULD ALLOW A RECALL OF ALL OF THERE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AT ANYTIME! THE TACOMA ONLY HAS 206,000 MILES ON IT, MECHANICALLY IS EXCELLENT, AESTHETICALLY, BEING A METALLIC EARTH GREEN, IS, I HATE TO SAY THE WORD NOW, BEAUTIFUL. I'M VERY FORTUNATE A SERIOUS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT DIDN'T OCCUR WITH MY TOYOTA TACOMA, BEFORE THE DEFECTIVE CORRODED FRAME WAS DISCOVERED AT MY MECHANICS SHOP DURING YEARLY INSPECTION.
