It started with my gas tank falling off the frame. My wife was driving the truck at the time the gas tank band broke that holds the gas tank to the frame.

The vehicle frame is showing major signs of rust. This apparently is a very common issue. When i contacted toyota regarding this matter i was told that they issued a temporary service for this but i was never notified. This is a huge issue since whenever conponents need replacing the bolts must be cut off due to rusting. This is a safety issue as well since certain areas are thinning on the frame.
