Consumer Description

HI, I HAVE A 2001 TUNDRA THAT THE FRAME IS SHOT ON. I HAVE FIXED IT A FEW TIMES TO TRY TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD BUT IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. ITS TO THE POINT WHERE I FEEL ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT. THEY SAY IT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THEIR FRAME RECALL. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE BEINGS THEY HAVE REPLACED THOUSANDS OF FRAMES FOR CORROSION SO CLEARLY THEY KNOW ITS AN ISSUE BUT YET MINE DOESN'T QUALIFY. THE FRAME RUSTED COMPLETELY IN HALF BEHIND THE CAB AND I WELDED IN A STEEL PLATE SO I COULD DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT ALSO HAS LARGE HOLES IN VARIOUS OTHER LOCATIONS OF THE FRAME AS WELL. THIS IS A BIT RIDICULOUS AS THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 135K MILES ON IT.
