THE FRAME IS 80% ROTTED THROUGH WITH RUST. I'M SURE IT WILL BE DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND UNFORTUNATELY WAITING ANY DAY FOR IT TO COMPLETELY FALL THROUGH. THE BED IS LITERALLY NOSEDIVING INTO THE FRONT BODY OF THE TRUCK.

DURING AN OIL CHANGE THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE FRAME JUST IN FRONT OF THE LEAF SPRING BRACKET WAS SEVERELY RUSTED THROUGH MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE DID HAVE TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESS A POTENTIAL RUST SITUATION IN 2012. HOWEVER, THIS DAMAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED IF THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESSED. WE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE AT THIS TIME. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE POTENTIALLY MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ARE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THEIR DANGEROUS SITUATION.

VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR FRAME RUSTING OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT TO KOON TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN 2014 FOR THE RECALL. THEY DID A SPRAY ON THE FRAME THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO CURE THE RUSTING OUT ON THE FRAME. HOWEVER THE FRAME IS STILL RUSTING OUT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO CONNACELLI TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD PA, AND THEY DO AN INSPECTION TO FIND THE FRAME NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON. CONNACELLI TELLS ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE TIME HAS EXPIRED ON THE RECALL. THIS I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE NEVER WAS SERVICED IN THE ALLOTTED TIME, BUT HOWEVER IT WAS SERVICED BY KOON TOYOTA AND THE REMEDY EVIDENTLY DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.

THE RUST CORROSION IS SO BAD THAT THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF HITTING THE LEAF SPRING SUPPORT BRACKET AND COMPLETELY CAUSED THE BUMPER TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK. THE SPARE TIRE ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CORROSION IS EVIDENT ALL OVER THE CHASSIS AND OTHER PARTS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND PULLING A LANDSCAPE TRAILER ON ROUTE 173 IN NEW JERSEY. *TR

TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FRAME THAT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 70000 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US TO CALL TOYOTA.
