Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD GRINDING/WHINING NOISE. FRAME IS BROKEN RIGHT UNDER THE BACK OF THE CAB AND FRONT OF THE BED FROM RUST CAUSING THE DRIVE LINE TO BREAK (GRINDING/WHINING NOISE). WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH DRIVING BACK TO MY HOUSE FROM THE SHOP AND BEING FEMALE THE LAST THING I WANT IS FOR IT TO BREAK IN HALF AND BE STUCK ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A COUPLE YEARS AGO I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK AND FUEL LINES REPLACED BECAUSE OF IT RUSTING OUT AND CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT. ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT IF I DIDN'T FIND OUT COULD HAVE TURNED OUT REALLY BADLY BY EITHER FIRE, CRASH AND BOTH COULD HAVE CAUSED DEATH. WHY THIS YEAR OF TRUCK ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE 1995+ RECALL OF THE FRAME RUSTING IS BEYOND ME. TOYOTA KNOWS IT IS HAPPENING NOW THEY JUST NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
