NHTSA Complaint #11122167 — 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA

I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS. ON 8/18/18 THE CONTROL ARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FELL OFF, I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED BY AAA TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. AFTER EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM WAS ALSO READY TO FALL OFF BUT THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS THAT THE FRAME IS ROTTED, HOLES EVERYWHERE AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I INQUIRED AT LYNCH TOYOTA ABOUT A REMEDY THROUGH THE FRAME RECALL AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A PREVENTION SPRAY DONE IN 2014 AT WESTBROOK TOYOTA - WHICH MAKES THIS WORSE, BECAUSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY ROT/CORROSION IF THE SPRAY WAS EFFECTIVE. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE TO ASK ABOUT A REMEDY AND THEY REFUSED, STATING THAT A GUARANTEE OF THE SPRAY WAS ONLY FOR 12 MONTHS AFTER THE (INEFFECTIVE) SPRAY WAS APPLIED AND AFTER THAT THE CUSTOMER IS ON THEIR OWN. I DID NOT OWN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME SO I DON'T KNOW IF PROBLEMS WERE NOTICED WITHIN 12 MONTHS AFTER THE SPRAY, BUT CLEARLY THE SPRAY DIDN'T WORK SINCE 4 YEARS LATER THE FRAME IS ROTTED TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE.
