2006 Toyota Tacoma complaints

I TOOK MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2006 IN FOR SERVICE AT PAULY TOYOTA 1035 S. ROUTE 31, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60014 LAST NIGHT AND THEY FOUND SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE FRAME, THE AREA WERE THE SPRINGS ARE MOUNTING TO, IS REALLY RUSTED AND IN REALLY BAD CONDITION. THE CRACKS DON'T SEEM TO BE NEW, AND THERE IS EVEN PAINT IN BETWEEN THE CRACK SO THEY KNEW THE CRACK WAS THERE IN FEBRUARY 2015 WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BE PAINTED, THIS WAS PART OF THE FRAME RUST RECALL BY TOYOTA. THE FRAME WAS NOT WIRE BRUSH AT LEAST TO GET SOME OF THE RUST OFF FOR THE PAINT TO ATTACH TO IT, WITHIN 2 MONTHS BIG PIECES OF METAL AND PAINT WERE FALLING FROM THE FRAME. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PAULY TOYOTA TO BE INSPECTED FOR HOLE OR PROBLEMS IN THE FRAME, BECAUSE OF THE BIG PIECES OF METAL FALLING FROM THE FRAME AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW A YEAR LATER THE FRAME HAS SEVERAL CRACKS.

I TOOK MY 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA TO BOCH TOYOTA AS PART OF TOYOTA SERVICE CAMPAIGN REGARDING FRAME RECALL BACK IN DEC OF 2015. I WAITED 5 MONTHS TO GET MY TRUCK BACK TO GET IT BACK IN DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS. TRUCK WAS NOT REPAIRED SATISFACTORILY AND I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO TOYOTA AND BOTH TOYOTA TO NO AVAIL. TRUCK BARELY RUNNING. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR FRAME CORROSION THAT EXPIRED MARCH 2016. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CAMPAIGN AND WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE CAMPAIGN AND THAT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE FRAME IS QUESTIONABLE TO PASS VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION NEXT YEAR. I HAVE FILED A BBB COMPLAINT AND THE RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA WAS THAT THEY ARE COMPLIANT WITH ALL REGULATIONS AND THAT NO ACCOMMODATION OR EXTENSION OF THE LSC WILL BE CONSIDERED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO NOW HAS A VEHICLE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL DUE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER.

I JUST PULLED MY TRUCK INTO MY FRIEND'S DRIVEWAY. CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WENT TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE INTO PARK. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE REVS UP, THE WHEELS SPIN; I'M STANDING ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP MY TRUCK FROM ADVANCING FORWARD. BUT MY TRUCK PULLS FORWARD AND CRASHES THROUGH MY FRIEND'S GARAGE DOOR. I FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP BY COMPLETING THE SHIFT INTO PARK AND LETTING OFF ON THE BRAKE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR IN THE GARAGE, AND NO ONE GOT HURT.

MY TACOMA TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER IN 2014, PER RECALL INSTRUCTIONS, FOR FRAME CORROSION ISSUE, THE DEALER ELECTED TO SPRAY THE FRAME. IN EARLY PART OF 2016 I BROUGHT TRUCK IN FOR LEAF SPRING RECALL. THE DEALER FOUND A HOLE IN THE FRAME, SENT PICTURES TO TOYOTA REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO REPAIR FRAME BEFORE REPLACING LEAF SPRINGS, TOYOTA DENIED FRAME REPAIR REQUEST. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITH FRAME THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE LEAF SPRINGS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS TOYOTA'S POLICY THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS ON AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. WHEN I STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE FRAME ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED IN 2014 I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRAME RECALL WAS OVER AND THERE WAS NO RECOURSE. SO NOW I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FRAME RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED IN 2014 AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT APPROVE REPLACEMENT OF LEAF SPRINGS IN2016.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS 06 TACOMA, 140 THOUSAND MILES. IN APRIL I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE FRAME APPEARED TO HAVE EXTENSIVE RUST. HE CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND FOUND THAT IT HAD ENDED THE PREVIOUS MONTH. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL (THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF) AND HAD REPLACED THOUSANDS OF FRAMES. AFTER MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE 1990'S. I RECENTLY TOOK THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA OF TURNERSVILLE NJ FOR OTHER WARRANTY WORK AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD CHECK THE FRAME. THE NOTE THEY LEFT ON THE RECEIPT STATED "EXTENSIVE RUSTING OF BOTH FRONT FRAME RAILS. DO NOT RECOMMEND LONG TRIPS OF HEAVY LOADS!! " THIS TRUCK IS USED TO TRAVEL FROM NJ TO VA. USUALLY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN SOMETIMES TWICE A MONTH. THE SERVICE REP. ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM WAS THAT MAYBE I COULD FIND SOMEONE TO WELD SOME STEEL TO THE FRAME ???...I JUST HOPE THAT MY ISSUE (AND I AM SURE THERE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS) CAN BE RESOLVED BRFORE SOMEONE HAS TO DIE ON THE HIGHWAY AS IS TYPICAL.

01/22/15 TOYOTA DEALER APPLIED CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND (CRC), TO FRAME OF 2006 TACOMA (MILEAGE 113835), A RECALL SERVICE. MARCH 2016, I DISCOVERED CRC PEELING/FLAKING OFF MANY PLACES ON THE FRAME. IT APPEARED CRC HAD BEEN APPLIED OVER RUST. 4/12/16 WE ASKED DEALER TO INSPECT CRC DURING UPCOMING RECALL SERVICE FOR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLIES. THESE WERE REPLACED 06/23/16 (MILEAGE 138878). INVOICE READS, 'PLEASE NOTE: CRC ON FRAME IS PEELING OFF'. DEALER ADVISED CALLING TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER. 06/24/16 TOYOTA CREATED CASE COMPLAINT #1606240431. THEY NOTIFIED US 6/27/16 THAT THE CRC CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY. 08/01/16, PROPRIETOR OF A LOCAL GARAGE, IN BUSINESS SINCE 1955, EVALUATED. HE WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL, HAD WORKED ON OTHER RECALLED TRUCKS AND SAID THIS WAS THE WORST HE HAD SEEN. HE THOUGHT CRC HAD BEEN APPLIED TO COVER UP RUST. HE RECOMMENDED SAND BLASTING AND RE-APPLYING RUST PROTECTANT SOON BEFORE RUST CAUSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 08/11/16, OWNER OF A BODY SHOP EVALUATED AND SAID IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE RUST. HE WAS SURPRISED THE DEALER HAD NOT REPLACED THE FRAME, SINCE HE WAS AWARE OF MANY FRAMES BEING REPLACED BY ANOTHER DEALER 40 MILES AWAY. BOTH PROFESSIONALS NOTED BUBBLING &/OR BUCKLING FRAME METAL DUE TO RUST AND SAID THIS WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 8/31/16, I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO SHARE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS. THE SUPERVISOR SAID TOYOTA WOULD DO NOTHING AN

I TOO AM A VICTIM OF THE DEFECTIVE TOYOTA TACOMA FRAME. THE FRAME OF MY VEHICLE RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT OF BREAKING, RENDERING MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES, AND IS NOW UTTERLY WORTHLESS. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I FELT THE FRAME GIVE WAY, IMMEDIATELY CHANGING THE ENTIRE DYNAMIC OF PERFORMANCE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MY HOME WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY, DROPPING THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED. ONLY LUCK AND MY OWN DRIVING EXPERIENCE KEPT ME FROM CRASHING WHEN THE DEFECTIVE FRAME FAILED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA, THINKING THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE HANDLED BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS WRONG ABOUT THIS, AND WAS MET WITH COMPLETE DISREGARD AND A SMUG ASSURANCE THAT TOYOTA WOULD NEVER MAKE ANY AMENDS FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I WAS TOLD THAT A NOTICE WAS MAILED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, AND THAT THIS MET THEIR OBLIGATION AND THAT NOTHING FURTHER WOULD BE DONE CONCERNING THE MATTER. TO SAY THAT THE AMERICAN CONSUMER HAS BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IN THIS SITUATION IS A GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT. FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS EXACT SITUATION, IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS A SYSTEMIC DEFECT IN THE FRAME USED BY TOYOTA IN THESE VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS, BUT INSTEAD OF MAKING EFFORTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE EXPENDING THEIR RESOURCES TO DEFEND NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. JUST BECAUSE THE CO

THIS IS WHAT I WROTE TO TOYOTA "HELLO THERE, I ALREADY CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER AND EVEN GOT A CASE NUMBER FOR MY PROBLEM AND THE ANSWER I GOT WAS WE CAN NOT HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARRANTY AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD IS OVER. I WILL START FROM THE BEGINNING. MY TRUCK IS 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA . I GOT A LETTER IN MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE FRAME AND IT STATED THAT IF MY TRUCK HAS EXCESSIVE RUST OR A HOLE IN IT THEY WILL REPLACE THE FRAME, IF NOT THEY WILL COAT THE FRAME TO SLOW DOWN THE RUST ON THE FRAME. I TOOK TO MY DEALER, THEY INSPECTED IT AND FOUND NO HOLES IN MY FRAME. THEY WILL APPLY THE COATING AND SENT ME ON MY MARRY WAY. THIS WAS BACK IN 1/20/2015. NOW FAST FORWARD TO 9/6/2016 AND NOW I HAVE A BIG HOLE IN MY FRAME AND A LOT MORE RUST THEN BEFORE. I DON'T TAKE TO BEACH. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THE TRUCK BUT IT'S THAT DEFECTIVE FRAME THAT IS ON THE TRUCK. I KNOW 95-00 TACOMA'S DID A BUY BACK PROGRAM A FEW YEARS AGO. THE 2001-2004 IF THE FRAME GOT COATED YOU GAVE THE A 15 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE FRAME. 2005-2008 TACOMA'S IN CANADA GOT THE SAME 15 YEAR WARRANTY IF THE FRAME GOT COATED. SO WHY NOT 2005-2008 TACOMA"S IN THE USA DON'T HAVE THAT WARRANTY? MY POINT IS YOU KINDA NEED TO WORK WITH ME AND OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS WILL BE AN SAFETY ISSUE AT SOME POINT. THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS. PLEASE HELP ME OUT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. "

FRAME CORROSION. THE FRAME ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK IS VERY RUSTY. THE METAL IS JUST FLAKING OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE CAR WASH AND WHILE WASHING UNDERNEATH PARTS OF THE METAL JUST FLAKED OFF IN LARGE PIECES. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND GAVE ME A CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER FOR TOYOTA CORPORATION. I CALLED THAT NUMBER AND WAS TOLD A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR CORROSION PROBLEMS ON MY TRUCK ENDED ON MARCH 31, 2016. THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH MY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WASN'T A SAFETY RECALL. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FRAMES ON THESE TRUCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY ARE FRACTURING AND RENDERING THESE TRUCKS USELESS. MANY OF US CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE FRAMES AND IF WE SELL THIS PROBLEM IS SO WELL KNOWN WE CAN'T GET A FAIR PRICE FOR VEHICLES. MY TRUCK HAS 100600 MILES ON IT. I'VE TAKEN CARE OF THE TRUCK BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE FRAME RUSTED ANYWAY. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US THAT HAVE THESE VEHICLES. TOYOTA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE JUST LIKE IT WAS BEFORE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT TOYOTA LEARNED HOW TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DEFECTIVE FRAMES.

THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK IS DANGEROUSLY RUSTED, AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO HONOR ITS OWN RECALL COMMITMENT TO REPLACE THE FRAME BECAUSE OF AN ARBITRARY DEADLINE FOR INSPECTION. THE DATE IS IRRELEVANT TO THE BASIC PROBLEM -- THEIR FRAME IS DEFECTIVE, I AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK, AND REPAIR IS URGENTLY NEEDED. NHSTA SHOULD CHALLENGE AUTO MAKERS, ESPECIALLY TOYOTA, ON THE POLICY OF TIME-LIMITED RECALLS. UPDATED 11/08/2017*JS

DURING A RECENT SAFETY INSPECTION, THE INSPECTOR NOTED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND IN ONE SPOT WAS RUSTED THROUGH. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED BUT HAD EXPIRED IN MARCH OF 2016. ADDITIONALLY, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT SAFETY RELATED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH A FRAME THAT MAY FAIL IS NOT SAFE. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE CONDITION CAUSED BY LACK OF A VIABLE QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME OF OF THIS TRUCK, ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, HAD SEVERELY RUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA HAS INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A LIMITED SERVICE PERIOD FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT HAD EXPIRED. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS AND DO NOT BELIEVE I WAS NOTIFIED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MANY LIKE ME MAY NOT BE AWARE OF. IF THE FRAME WERE TO FAIL WHILE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE PEOPLE COULD BE SEVERELY INJURED.

TOOK TRUCK IN FOR FRAMES INSPECTION--DEALER SAYS I GET A NEW FRAME--NO COST. DEALER IS BACKING OUT OF THEIR WORD BECAUSE CAMPAIGN ENDED 3 MONTHS LATER--WAS TOLD CAMPAIGN WOULD BE GOOD FOR SEVERAL MORE YEAR. SERVICE ADVISER NEVER CHECKED ENDING DATE. EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLES ARE RUSTED AGAIN--FIXED SEVERAL TIMES--POOR PRODUCT. REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER PLUG RUSTED BEYOND ABLE TO REMIOVE TO CHANGE FLUID--ANOTHER HUGE RUST ISSUE WITH TACOMA TRUCKS--NOT JUST THE FRAME. THE STEERING MECHANISM, TIMING BELT PULLEYS, WIRING SUPPORTS, ETC --ANYTHING THAT IS METAL IS CORRODED BECAUSE OF THE POOR QUALITY OF STEEL--JUST NOT THE FRAME. THE TIMING PULLEYS WERE SO CORRODED THAT THEY CUT MY BEL--LUCKY FOR ME IT STILL HAD 50% OF IT REMAINING AND DID NOT BLOW ENGINE--TRUCK HAD 63,000 MILES ON IT AT TIME. TOLD TO BRING TRUCK IN FOR REAR SPRINGS CAMPAIGN--I DID--THEY DON'T HAVE THE IN STALLION KITS--BEEN BACK ORDERED FOR MONTHS. CAMPAIGN SAYS THEY COULD RUPTURE THE GAS TANK AND END IN DISASTER--ANY YOU DON'T HAVE PARTS!!!

MY TRUCK GOT TWO RECALLS 1) DUE TO RUSTY FRAME 2) REAR LEAF SPRING AND TOYOTA REPLACED BOTH LAST MARCH 2015. THIS WAS DONE AT METRO TOYOTA IN BROOKPARK ROAD CLEVELAND OHIO. HOWEVER, THE STRAP THAT HOLD THE GASOLINE TANK WERE ALSO RUSTY BUT WAS NOT REPLACED. JUST THIS JUNE 29, 2016, I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK'S BED. ONE OF THE STRAP WAS BROKEN AND THE GASOLINE TANK WAS LOOSE AND ALREADY BOUNCING AND ABOUT TO FALL AS THE OTHER STRAP WAS ABOUT TO GIVE WAY TOO. I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT DAY AS I NOTICED IT BEFORE ANY SEVERE ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE ON THE ROAD. I JUST DON'T KNOW SINCE WHEN THE STRAP WAS BROKEN BUT NOTICED THE TRUCK REAR BECAME TOO BOUNCY WHILE ON MOTION. I THINK THE STRAP SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACE TOO WHEN TOYOTA REPLACE THE FRAME AND THE REAR LEAF SPRING. NOT REPLACING THE STRAP PUT MY LIFE WAS PLACED MORE IN DANGER AS ANYTIME IF THE TANK FALL OFF, IT WILL CAUSE FIRE AND MIGHT EVEN INVOLVE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING NEXT TO ME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE A PHOT OF THE BROKEN STRAP BUT I WENT STRAIGHT TO METRO TOYOTA FOR A WALK IN SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN DRIVE MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE BUT TO GET IT FIXED BUT I WAS CHARGED WITH ALL THE COST. I GRATEFUL THAT NOTHING HAPPENED WITH THAT CONDITION BUT NOT HAPPY WITH THE RECALL PROCESS. I WAS TOLD THE STRAP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. BUT TO ME THAT IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE PRIORITY FOR REPLACEMENT THAN THE REAR LEAF SPRING. L

I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUE WITH RUST PROBLEMS IN THE FRAME WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED IN MARCH 2014, NOR DID I EVER RECEIVE ANY LETTERS FROM TOYOTA REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH RUSTING FRAMES. DURING A REGULAR MAINTENANCE TUNE-UP AT A TOYOTA DEALER 05/13/2016 (160,000 MILES), THEY REPORTED TO ME 2 HOLES IN THE FRAME RESULTING FROM RUST AND THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THEY ALSO REPORTED THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAD EXTENDED SOME KIND OF 'RECALL' TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM HAD EXPIRED MARCH 31, 2016 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP COULD DO. THE DEALER GAVE ME A REFERRAL TO A SPECIALIST THAT SPECIALIZE IN REPAIRING RUSTED FRAMES. WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO SEE IF IT WAS WORTH THE EXPENSE TO INVEST IN THE TRUCK, THEY THEN BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHICH REPORTED THAT THE TRUCK HAD THE TOYOTA'S ATTEMPT FIX UNDERCOATING DONE AND THAT NOTHING ELSE WOULD BE DONE BY THE MANUFACTURE. CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATION CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED BACK TO SAY NOTHING WOULD BE DONE.

I OWN A 2006 TACOMA, WITH 67,800 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED IT FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2013; IT HAD 34,000 MILES ON IT THEN. I RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE FROM TOYOTA IN 2014 THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTED FOR EXCESSIVE RUST. THE SAME DEALERSHIP DID THE INSPECTION AND FOUND IT ELIGIBLE ONLY FOR THE UNDERCOAT SPRAY. LAST WEEK, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SPRING LEAF (PURSUANT TO A SEPARATE RECALL) AND ADVISED ME THAT THE FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE RUST, CRACKS AND PERFORATION. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE UNDERCOAT "SOLUTION" WAS NO SOLUTION AT ALL AND THAT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNSYMPATHETIC AND DEFENSIVE ABOUT THEIR WORKMANSHIP SPRAYING THE UNDERCOAT. I SEE THAT THERE IS A STATE CLASS ACTION SOMEWHERE DOWN SOUTH -- ARKANSAS? ALABAMA? -- BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME (I'M IN THE NORTHEAST) AND I DEPEND EXCLUSIVELY ON THIS TRUCK. CAN NHTSA HELP?
