Consumer Description
SEPT 2014 MY TRUCKS FRAME WAS RECALLED FOR THE RUST PROBLEM. THE FRAME WAS SCALED AND SPRAYED. MILEAGE 134,500. 6/2018 WITH MILEAGE 164,301 DEALER ADVISES ME FRAME IS GETTING RUSTY! I SAID YOU SCALED AND COATED IT IN 2014 ISN'T IT WARRANTED? THERE ANSWER WAS THAT ENDED LAST MONTH. NOW IT'S A YEAR LATER JUNE 2019 IT ONLY HAS 171,000 AND ONLY 36,500 MILES SINCE THE FRAME WAS COATED. THE TOYOTA DEALER FAILED THE NH STATE INSPECTION. I AM VERY UPSET AS I HAVE SPENT OVER $4500 IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS ON OTHER REPAIRS AND ON GONE 8K MILES. I NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THOSE REPAIRS IF I WAS ADVISE HOW BAD IR HOW FAST THE RUST WAS GOING TO MAKE MY TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHY DID OTHER TRUCKS GET NEW FRAMES BECAUSE THEY DROVE MORE MILES THEN ME AND HAD THERE FRAMES RUST FASTED. THERE ARE TRUCKS NOW OF THE SAME AGE WITH NEW FRAMES WITH WELL OVER 200K +MILES BECAUSE THERE FRAMES RUSTED FASTER( TIME WISE). THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR THOSE WHO STILL HAVE JUNK FRAMES. ALL THE FRAMED ARE JUNK! BUT MANY GET STUCK WITH THEM BECAUSE IT TOOK LONGER TO RUST TO THE POINT OF FAILER BECAUSE WE DROVE THEM FEWER MILES PER YEAR! MY FRAME HAS FAILED IN THE SAME PLACES AS EVERY FRAME THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED,BUT BECAUSE IT LASTED PAST MAY 2018 MY TRUCK IS JUNK NOW BUT THE PERSON WHO'S FRAME RUSTED OUT BEFORE MAY 18 GETS TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT WITH THERE REPLACEMENT FRAME! HOW IS THIS FAIR???? IF MY FRAME WASN'T SCALED AND COATED IT WOULD HAVE RUSTED BEFORE MAY 2018 AND BEEN REPLACE! THEY JUST MADE IT LAST LONGER TO GET PAST THE MAY 2018 DATE!
