Purchased 04 tacoma double cab 4x4 onlynto later find frame rot by the shocks and wheels. I didn't see this initially upon inspection. I thought there was only surface rust until i had the truck on a lift for inspection and was advised of perforations. Needless to say it won't pass inspection. Did some research and found that toyota's class action settlement only included 05-10 tacoma's. Also found that there may…

The frame of my truck has rusted from the inside out and is no longer stable to hold the truck together. When having tires put on the mechanic showed me the issue and stated that the truck is to dangerous to drive. Since then i have discovered that many owners are having this same problem and the company is unwilling to stand behind their product.

I bought my 2004 tacoma from a used car dealer in may of 2014 and was unaware of an earlier recall for possible excessive frame corrosion. My current servicing toyota dealer said the recall had expired and couldn't help me, but referred me to toyota, who also offered no help. I feel this is a safety issue, since if the frame fails it would be extremely hazardous to myself and other motorists on the road.
