MID FRAME HAS SEVERE RUST AND PERFORATIONS, HEAVY SCALE ENTIRE LENGTH. WILL NOT PASS? 09? STATE INSPECTION. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CALLED TOYOTA ,THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR A ESTIMATE. THE DEALERS ESTIMATE WAS IN EXCESS OF 5,000 DOLLARS, THE BOOK VALUE IS 9,000 WHICH IS JUST WHAT I OWE. I CALLED TOYOTA BACK THEY SAID TOO BAD ,GOOD LUCK ,HAVE A NICE DAY. HERE I AM AND I AM NOT HAVING A NICE DAY . I CALLED THE DEALER BACK HE SUGGESTED THAT I SELL MY TRUCK FOR PARTS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. WHEN I GOT IN TO GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE SLIP, BRAKE, 4X4 HI AND LO, VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, AND LSD LIGHTS STAYED ON UNTIL I STOPPED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS WERE OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. TWO OTHER TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY ROAD THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED AND TOOK THE POWER OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ON BOTH OCCASION WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AT LESS THAN 30 MPH. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAULT. *TR
