PURCHASED MY 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN MAY 2016, SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT I NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WAS ROTTING IN THE FRONT ON BOTH SIDES, I CONTACTED THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM CRAZY JIMS IN MILWAUKEE WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. HE APPLIED A UNDERCOAT BUT DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB AS IT HAS ALREADY WORN OFF. I THEN CONTACTED TOYOTA THINKING THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING THEY OPENED A CLAIM NUMBER WHICH RESULTED IN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BEING DONE. I AM APPALLED THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, I KNOW THAT THE TRUCK IS NOT NEW BUT TOYOTA IS KNOWN FOR THE QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THEY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER WOULD ALLOW A UNSAFE VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. I DRIVE MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN AND NO FUNDS TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE AS I AM STILL PAYING THE LOAN ON THIS ONE. PLEASE HELP ME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I HAD THE FRAME INSPECTION RECALL PERFORMED IN 2012 AND WAS TOLD THE FRAME IS OK SO THEY COATED THE FRAME WITH UNDER COATING. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND HIT A JOINT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ENDED UP IN THE NEXT LANE. AS I AM IN THE BUSINESS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE AIR THAT EVENING AND FOUND THE STEERING RACK MOUNT WAS DETACHED FROM THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. I THEN SPOKE TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. I WAS TOLD AGAIN THE FRAME IS OK.. I DID EXPLAIN TO THE DEALER THAT I HAD TO WLD A STEEL PLATE TO THE FRAME SO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY STILL SAID THE FRAME IS OK AND THEY WOULD RE SPRAY THE FRAME AS A GESTURE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS AND EMAILS TO TOYOTA SINCE THEN BECAUSE JUNE OF 2016 I FOUND RUST HOLES IN THE FRAME IN 2 DIFFERENT SPOTS.. THERE IS A RECALL TO REPLACE THE FRAME IF THERE ARE PERFORATIONS IN THE FRAME DURING THE INSPECTION. HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME ANY FURTHER ON THIS SITUATION.

AIR BAGS
I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE A FEW YEARS AGO AND EVERYTIME I WOULD CALLED TO GET REPLACED AS PROMISED THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AIRBAGS TO REPAIR AND CLAIM IT WASN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL YOU JUST COULDN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN YOUR CAR AND EVENTUALLY THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG. I JUST LOOKED UP INFORMATION AGAIN ON MY TRUCK AND NOW IT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY WAS SO I DON'T KNOW IF SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE IT IT'S NOT A VALID RECALL OR WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE I THINK IT'S FUNNY TO NOT ENFORCE RECALLS IF THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE I TURNED OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FAULTY OR WHAT BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT IS MY POINT AND REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE RECALL WAS BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY A FEW YEARS AGO I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO TOYOTA AND ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS YET I THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REINVESTIGATED
