A recall on the frame, their inspection was visual and tap with a hammer. It looks like it's fifty years old, it so rusty i'm scared of it. The resale value has suffered due to the oversight of toyota. I would like a new frame.

Tacoma leaf springs broken and not supporting vehicle. Damaged and replaced shocks and alignment.

First noticed the steering "tightness" shortly after the undercoating recall. Very sporadic in this particular case so i thought it may be a particular stretch of road i repeatedly commute on. Not the case. Looks like another watergate. First a recall for a cord running through the steering column, the a rusted frame recall. Fess up toyota, you manufactured another sub par vehicle, great engineering. Hopefully…

Frame rust. There was a inspection period for rusted frames on this vehicle (and others), i missed the inspection period and am fearful that my truck is potentially dangerous. I think this inspection time period and work should be expanded to protect current owners and others on the roads. Toyota states it is out of their hands and they can do nothing for me, regardless of the safety issue. Please help expand this…

I did nothing until i received the recall about rust problems on the truck frame. When i spoke to toyota about the sheet metal rust, they refused to consider it saying the recall only covered the frame. A call to national…
