Consumer Description

FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT IS UNREPAIRABLE, VEHICLE HAS 92000 MILES GOOD CONDITION EVERYWHERE ELSE. THIS IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH COLORADOS. IT WILL NOT PASS SAFETY STANDARDS, QUITE HONESTLY IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THESE VEHICLES. IT SEEMS ODD THAT TOYOTA WAS FORCED TO REPLACE FRAMES DUE TO POOR QUALITY AND RUST ISSUES YET THESE COLORADOS ARE JUST AS BAD.
