I find this completely unacceptable…

I purchased a 2000 toyota tundra with only 107k miles on the odo. This was just before toyota announced a minor rust recall. I took the vehicle to the local toyota dealership and to my surprise they told me that the entire frame was compromised. I have now been without a vehicle since the 28th of dec because my low mileage truck was deemed unsafe for the road. Toyota has yet to offer a solution to this problem. *tr

This was so severe that the mechanic had to be extremely cautious when putting the vehicle on the lift as to not damage the frame. The vehicle has approximately 60,000 miles and at this point is almost un safe to drive. The reason for the maintenance was that the shifter cable had rusted through, not…
