Consumer Description

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA PURCHASED NEW FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN CENTRAL PA; ONE OWNER. CUSTOMER PURCHASED DEALER OFFERED UNDERCOATING DUE TO KNOWN CLIMATE CONDITIONS OF CENTRAL PA IN ORDER TO PREVENT UNDERCARRIAGE CORROSION. SAME DEALERSHIP (UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP) CARRIED OUT CORROSION INSPECTION CAMPAIGN IN 2015; DEALER CONCLUSION-APPLY ADDITIONAL CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND TO FRAME (DID THEY ACTUALLY APPLY ANYTHING?). PA INSPECTION AT INDEPENDENT GARAGE IN 2019 FAILED FOR FRAME CORROSION (BUT NO PERFORATIONS?). VEHICLE TAKEN TO PLACE OF PURCHASE TO REPEAT INSPECTION; DEALERSHIP ALSO FAILED VEHICLE FOR PA INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME CORROSION; SUGGESTED SENDING IT TO ADDITIONAL TOYOTA DEALERS FOR ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS AND TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE. (NOTE-FAILED AREAS AND OTHER INSPECTION AREAS ARE NOW COMPLETELY DEVOID OF CORROSION PROTECTION DUE TO REMOVAL BY INSPECTION MECHANICS). CALLED TOYOTA CORP., THEY CAN'T/WON'T HELP. SUPERVISOR TO CALL BACK. SO FAR, TOYOTA WILL NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THERE ARE 100 YEAR OLD FORD MODEL T'S ON THE ROAD WITH FRAMES THAT ARE PERFECTLY HEALTHY IN PA, BUT A PIECE OF JUNK MADE IN THE USA (WHICH HAS BEEN LESS THAN USELESS FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS), FOREIGN OWNED CORP.,13 YEAR TOYOTA IS SCRAP!!! OBSOLESCENCE AND SECOND CLASS CITIZENSHIP CONSUMER PRODUCTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND MEANT ONLY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS TO EXPERIENCE! FAILURE AT 106,000 MILES.
