Consumer Description

THE FRAME HAS MANY HOLES IN IT. WAS JUST TOLD BY MECHANIC WHEN WENT IN FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL WORK. THEY AS I WERE SURPRISED AS THE BODY SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST. THEY DID NOT COMPLETE WORK AS THEY SAID FRAME SO BAD IT IS UNSAFE. I HAVE OWNED OTHER 2003 AND 2004 TACOMA'S OVER THE YEARS WHICH HAD FRAMES RECALLED. THIS ONE DOES NOT HAVE THE FRAME RECALL AND I AM WONDERING IS THIS A MISTAKE OR WHY NOT?
