Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2004 TACOMA WITH <92,500 MILES INTO THE MECHANIC TO GET SERVICED YESTERDAY. I ASKED HIM TO CHECK IT OVER FOR A ROAD TRIP WE WERE PLANNING THIS WEEKEND. HE CALLED BACK AND SAID IT WAS UNFIT TO DRIVE BECAUSE THERE WAS ABOUT 1 AND 1/2 FEET AND 4 INCHES WIDE PART OF THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT ABOVE THE REAR AXLE. I AM TRYING TO CONSULT MY CASE MANAGER AT TOYOTA, BUT HE CONVENIENTLY CALLED THE WRONG NUMBER THIS MORNING AND HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL YET.
