I think it's time that the nhtsa start forcing recalls beyond spraying on rust proofing. So far the people reporting to you haven't…

I am writing on my 2000 toyota tundra. I just noticed the recall due to rust found on the rear frame. I also would like to alert you rust found on the front suspension joints. I just replaced my front sway bar links due to rust. The links snapped off and this caused the truck to lean more in the turn or cause more body roll. This i believe is safety issue because if you need to perform and emergency maneuver this…
