Consumer Description

I TOOK MY TACOMA TO BE SERVICED AND WHEN THE TECHNICIAN STARTED TO LIFT IT INTO THE AIR, LOUD CREAKING WAS HEARD AND MOVEMENT OF TRUCK BED FROM TRUCK CAB. TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY LOWERED VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND TRUCK MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE. HAD TRUCK INSPECTED AT AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND WAS TOLD FRAME WAS A COMPLETE LOSS DUE TO RUST AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS YEAR TACOMA WAS NOT IN THE MASSIVE RECALL OF RUSTED FRAMES, BUT SEEMS LIKE WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT SHOULD BE. I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT IT WAS FOUND BEFORE ANYTHING SERIOUS HAD OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING
