Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL I'M SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN THE RUST PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS, I'VE OWNED NOW THREE TACOMAS, ALL RUSTED OUT, I RECENTLY GAVE UP AND TRIED BUYING A 1996 4RUNNER, GOT A REALLY GOOD DEAL ON IT, I CAN SEE WHY ANYWAYS I BOUGHT IT AND IT TURNS OUT THE WHOLE FRAME WAS COATED SO I COULDN'T SEE RUST, WITH FURTHER INSPECTION THERE'S A BIG CRACK IN THE FRAME FROM RUST, AND THE WHOLE FRAME IS RUSTED. THE CRACK IS RIGHT BESIDE THE EXHAUST, I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID BRING IT IN FOR INSPECTION AND THEY SAID IT WOULD NEED REPLACED, BUT WOULD COST 14-16 THOUSAND DOLLARS. THEN THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE INSPECTION 60 DOLLARS, WHEN THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME I'D BE CHARGED. TOYOTA REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP!!! FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
