Consumer Description

WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST WAS SO BAD ON THE FRAME THAT I COULD NOT SAFELY DRIVE IT. WAS INFORMED BY REPAIR SHOP THAT THEY HAVE HAD OVER 20 VEHICLES YEARS 05-06 WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WITH FRAMES FALLING APART LIKE MINE?? WHY HASN'T ANYONE NOTICED THIS OR DONE SOMETHING? THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT, ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, ALL MAINTENANCE REMAINED UP TO DATE, ONLY 109,000 MILES AND FRAME FALLING APART!! WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER IN AUGUST AND WAS MADE TO BELIEVE IT WAS ONLY SMALL HOLE.PASSED INSPECTION IN JANUARY 20020. THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAS NOT PRESENT FOR YEARS!!! BUT TOYOTA NEVER MENTIONED UNTIL AUGUST 2020, WHEN THEY SAW SMALL HOLE IN FRAME, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ROAD!!! . SO, WHY IS TOYOTA ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO BE DRIVEN ? WHY ARE THEY NOT MENTIONING FRAME ISSUES? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?? I SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD RECALLS FOR OTHER VEHICLES EXCEPT, BY MY UNDERSTANDING, 05-06 TOYOTA TUNDRAS, FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT! ALL THE PICTURES I VIEWED ONLINE OF OTHER SIMILAR FRAME ISSUES ON THESE MODELS MATCHED MINE EXACTLY! SO, THERE'S A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE! PLEASE HELP!
