Consumer Description

FRAME RUST IS GETTING TO BE AN ISSUE. I HAVE ONE SMALL HOLE WHERE THE METAL HAS GIVEN AWAY BUT THE FRONT BUMPER MOUNT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 AND THE FRAME DOES NOT MATCH THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE FIRST ONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS NOR THE LAST. OTHER MODELS OF TOYOTA VEHICLES AROUND THIS SAME YEAR HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN A FRAME RECALL. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR TO LAST AND NOT HAVE TO BE CONDEMNED DUE TO A BAD FRAME. ITS OBVIOUS THAT FROM THE START THE FRAME WAS DESTINED TO END UP LIKE THIS.
