 2001-2004 toyota tacoma frame rust campaign. truck was purchased brand new on 2002/01/02 with 6 miles and i am the original owner. toyota will not honor a solution to the known issue of the premature frame corrosion. i have spots where i was able to poke my finger thru the frame due to the extensive corrosion and chunks of rusty metal have fallen and are still falling off the frame everywhere. i was at my dealership for service after the campaign began and well before it ended and was never made aware of the issue or offered the coating solution that toyota came up with to cover up this problem. since i did not have the required inspection and/or frame coating applied before the campaign expired, i am stuck with a $25k plus truck just over 11 years old that is unsafe and only worth salvage value. several posts from disgruntled owners regarding this issue can be found on toyota truck forums all over the internet. i have tried every possible avenue to speak to someone at toyota about the issue, but only get the run around or completely shut down. class action suit may be necessary. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/webx?14@@.f1200e2/572

 Upon bringing 2002 toyoto tacoma to mechanic for tire rotation and oil change, the frame broke in half due to rust and corrosion. contacted toyota who said it was not covered under 2008 extended corrision warranty since it had not been brought in for the undercarraige compound application before 2011. we were never notified by any recall that it should be brought in.
