| There is an actual hole rusted through the structrual frame of the truck. in december of 2010, while inside of the 15 year warranty period, toyota claimed there was no rust on the frame of the vehicle other than surface rust. in september of 2011, after the 15 year warranty had expired, toyota claimed there was rust, corrosion, and an actual hole in the frame of the vehicle. toyota is claiming to have issued a volutary recall for their rusted frames, but is passing the frames until they are just outside of their 15 year warranty period and then failing them. there is no excuse for having steel rust completely through on the frame of a vehicle that has been cared for and maintained. it is a safety hazard, and it is amazing to think that these vehicles could break in half while on the highway at high speed. toyota needs to step up and take responsibility for their subcontracters cutting corners during the manufacturing process. their self-imposed programs are not extensive enough, federal penalties need to be enacted. thank you. | |||
