What owners report
Took my truck to a body shop to have dings and a few rusted spots on it repaired. The business owner and repair person put it on the rack and after examination, informed me that it was not worth the repairs, because the frame and undercarriage was too extensive and might as such cause safety issues. I chose not to have it repaired because of this issue.
OWNED SINCE 2003, THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 140,000 MILES, BUT MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT TOYOTA HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL. REAR BUMPER HAS ALSO RUSTED THROUGH. I NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO PROCEED. VEHICLE IS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 TOYOTA T100. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE CORROSION. THE CONTACT OBSERVED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,300.
THE BODY TO FRAME MOUNT HAS RUSTED AWAY BREAKING THREE PARTS OF THE FRAME. THE TOP OF THE FRAME IS THE ONLY PART HOLDING THE TRUCK TOGETHER, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH RESULTED IN NOT BEING ABLE TO PASS STATE INSPECTION.
THE TRUCK HAS 98,000 MILES. THE FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH ON THE RIGHT SIDE BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL AND IN FRONT OF THE BACK WHEEL. THE TRUCK WILL NOT PASS PA STATE INSPECTION.
