Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA, I TOOK IT TO WHITE RIVER TOYOTA, 303 SYKES MOUNTAIN AVENUE, WHITE RIVER JUNCTION VT 05001 802-299-2880 FOR SOME RECALL WORK, THEY WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK ON THE LEAF SPRINGS BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS SO ROTTED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD ATTACH THE LEAF SPRINGS TO, IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY FOR THE FRAME THAT HAD EXPIRED ON 1/31/19 AND THEY WERE NO LONGER ABLE TO HELP ME. MY TRUCK HAS 25,125 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT, THE BODY AND ENGINE ARE IN GREAT SHAPE, BUT THE FRAME IS JUNK. I HAD NOTICED SOME INSTABILITY IN THE HANDLING OF THE TRUCK ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LEAF SPRINGS AS WELL AS THE FRAME.
