Consumer Description

TOYOTA TRUCK RECALL ON FRAME RUST AND CORROSION. I BROUGHT TRUCK TO PRIME TOYOTA LANCASTER MA THE FRAME WAS COATED WITH AN UNDERCOAT PAINT. THE TRUCK WENT IN FOR REPAIRS WHEN IT WAS ON THE LIFT THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WERE HOLES AND CORROSION IN THE FRAME AND IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT HAVING IT FIXED I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT CORPORATE. CORPORATE TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS BEEN CLOSED OUT AND THAT DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO FIX IT. THEY JUST COVERED UP THE RUST AND CORROSION. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR FEAR I MIGHT GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. I NEED HELP THANK YOU!
