Frame is rusting out excessively.this is a known problem on these vehicles, but toyota says since i don't live in what they consider a cold state, i guess they've never spent a winter in nebraska they won't cover it. I feel this could potentially cause an accident if my frame sags or gives out. I feel they should expand this recall to include more states. *js

We had started hearing a clunk and bang in the rear end of my vehicle back in sept 2014. We tried to locate the problem thinking maybe it was something under the seats in the storage compartments. We could not elevate the problem. We then received a recall notice about rear leaf springs and called the dealer where we bought the vehicle. They told us to come in immediately. We went in and they read my recall and…

The problem is that the frame is totally rusted out and is going to be a safety issue later down the road. Toyota reached a settlement with the frame manufacturer, they did not properly coat the frame at time of manufacture. There is not a…
