When toyota recalled takoma trucks for frame rust i took it to the dealer and was told it didn't have enough rust to qualify. Now when i had it checked ou the mechanic said it isn't safe to drive any more. When i complained to toyta customer service they said the time for replacing the frames was over. The truck is still dangerous to drive and i feel the frame should be replaced.

Frame rust. Truck was treated during the recall in dec 2014 and dealer stated it would be fine. 5 years and 19,000 miles later, the frame is totally rusted through. Contacted toyota and they said there's nothing they can do because the warranty expired. Vehicle was treated and if treated correctly it should have lasted longer than 5 years.
