Consumer Description

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2004. COMPLIED WITH A TOYOTA INSPECTION FOR POSSIBLE RUST ON FRAME IN 2012 AND HAD VEHICLE SPRAYED WITH UNDERCOATING IN 2013 (PER TOYOTA INSTRUCTIONS). TOYOTA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. BY 2015 FRAME WAS STILL RUSTING AND BY 2018 RUST IS SO BAD THAT CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND BEING TOLD FRAME IS "CONPLETELY RUSTED OUT" AND "NOT SAFE TO DRIVE" BY MECHANICS. NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY AS FRAME MAY COLLAPSE OR COMPONENTS COME OFF AT ANY MOMENT. TOYOTA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT IN SEQUOIA AND TACOMA VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT WHEN A MASSIVE FRAME FAILURE HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE ASSIST WITH PRESSURE ON TOYOTA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
