1998
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I WAS TOLD TODAY BY AN INSURANCE APPRAISER THAT THE FRAME ON MY 1998 TOYOTA TACOMA EXTENDED-CAB, 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK IS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND COULD VERY POSSIBLY BREAK ON ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS. SUCH A FAILURE COULD RENDER THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. HIS EVALUATION WAS SIMPLY THAT "THIS TRUCK IS NOW JUNK". HE WAS SURPRISED THAT THE IMPACT OF THE COLLISION DAMAGE HE WAS ASSESSING DIDN'T BREAK THE FRAME. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN AUGUST OF 1998 ($27000+ WINDOW STICKER) AND IT NOW HAS 46,766 MILES ON IT. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS RUST IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN CAREFULLY BY A MATURE DRIVER. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
RECALL ONLY HELPED PROBLEM, BAND AID REPAIR, SOON AFTER RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN DONE [?] ALIGMENT KEEPS CHAGING , VIBRATION IN FRONT AXLE BOTH ABOUT 15MPH AND 45MPH THIS VIBRATION COMES AND GO'S. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANIFACTURE THIS PROBLEM MENY TIMES, THE LAST TIME 04/22/99, BUT IT APPEARS THAT AS THE CAMPAIN WAS DONE, THEIR FEELING IS THAT THEY WILL NOT INSPECT THIS VEHICLE OR AID IN WITH THE REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE IN ANY WAY
