Consumer Description

MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS 217K MILES AND IS, MECHANICALLY, IN TERRIFIC SHAPE, EXCEPT THE FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. STRUCTURALLY, IT'S STILL DRIVABLE SAFELY, BUT IT WILL NO LONGER PASS STATE INSPECTION (MAINE, USA). THOUSANDS OF OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRAS OF THE SAME STYLE AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND SIMILAR MODEL YEAR HAVE HAD FRAME RECALLS DONE FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR TO SKIP THIS YEAR. THIS IS MY FAMILY'S ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS VITAL TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ALLOW A FRAME RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR!
