THIS IS CONCERNING ANOTHER RUSTY TOYOTA TRUCK FRAME. MY TRUCK FRAME IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH WITH AT LEAST ONE HOLE THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. I SEE THAT THE 95.5 YEAR TRUCK WAS RECALLED WHY WASN'T MINE TOO? MINE IS A '95 MODEL SO I BARELY MISSED THE CUT OFF WHICH MAKES IT HURT ALL THE MORE. WHY WAS THE CUTOFF SET AFTER MY TRUCK? WHAT DETERMINED THE CUTOFF POINT? FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE ARE A LOT OF OLDER TOYOTA TRUCKS WITH FRAMES RUSTED COMPLETELY IN HALF AND MINE IS NOT FAR BEHIND THEM. MY TRUCK IS IN GOOD SHAPE EXCEPT OF COURSE FOR THE FRAME. THE BODY DOESN'T HAVE ANY HOLES ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME RUST. I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS TRUCK AND HAVE HAD IT ALMOST TEN YEARS AND WOULD CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT QUITE A FEW MORE YEARS IF IT WASN'T ABOUT READY TO RUST IN HALF. IT'S NOT SAFE SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT AND RISK MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS BECAUSE OF A DEFECT FROM TOYOTA? I DO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND MY TRUCK EITHER REPAIRED OR SOME COMPENSATION FOR ME. I WOULD THINK THE FRAME WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OUT OF A HEAVIER GAUGE STEEL THAN THE BODY PANELS AND WELL OUT LASTED EVERY OTHER METAL PART ON THE TRUCK SEEING IT IS THE "BACKBONE" OF THE VEHICLE SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A CONCERN OF YOUR AGENCY. *TR
