    Rusted front end passenger side component broke of the frame due to corrosion. Toyota warranty for repair expired 31 january 2019 and vehicle was taken to toyota 2 months later and toyota will not honor repair. Very disappointing on toyotas end. The rusted frame takes longer than 2 months to corrode. Toyota care not willing to work with me and fix there faulty and very unsafe product!
