Consumer Description

DECEMBER 2017 - SHOP INFORMED ME OF SERIOUS FRAME CORROSION/PERFORATION, I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. DEALER INSPECTED MARCH 2018 INFORMED ME NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE AS THE FRAME WAS UNSAFE. DEALER WOULD NOT RELEASE VEHICLE TO ME WITHOUT ME SIGNING THEIR FORM ABOUT UNSAFE VEHICLE. I PHONED TOYOTA CORP. AND WAS TOLD NO ASSISTANCE WAS AVAILABLE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE / LEGIT? THE MAIN FRAME HAS FAILED ON THE VEHICLE - AND COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGN AND PRODUCTION/ALLOY ERRORS?
