Replying to: berdman21 (May 06, 2008 11:48 am) I feel for you. i would be sooooooooooooo pissed! You got screwed big time. Go to Handel on the law (it's a talk show), good one at that. www.handelonthelaw.com. Try it...some lawyer might take it up. Worth a shot. There is a link in the upper right of the homepage "ask a lawyer".

Replying to: tylorkitty (May 01, 2008 7:14 pm) Taylorkitty:   Your dealer is giving you bad advice. Reread the letter Toyota sent. The statement in BOLD letters in the box clearly states:   "The warranty extension is offered for a period of 15 years with no mileage limitations from the vehicle's in service date, for perforation of the vehicle's frame caused by rust corrosion."   If they did warranty for 15 years from the data of inspection, then my warranty for my 95 Tacoma (13 years old so far) would be extended until the truck was 28 years old!!. And since I haven't had mine inspected yet, (the letter says nothing that I have to do it right away) I'd be better off waiting 5, 10 or more years before I bring mine in for inspection.   Mrbill
#129 of 927 Toyota Tacoma Rust Frames- New Information by mattz88 May 06, 2008 (7:19 pm)
Hello   For anyone that is getting a hard time from Toyota in terms of the Toyota Tacoma Frames rusting out please try this website The Center for Auto Safety It has alot of valuable information on it and you can file a complaint if you wish. Another website is Home | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) | U.S. Department of Transportation file a complaint and they will start investigating your complaint. Hopefully this can help alot get many of these defective vehicles off the road and correct corporate irresponsibilty. Thanks

Replying to: mattz88 (May 07, 2008 9:59 am) I just brought my Truck in to my dealership and it failed and I got my rental within 10 minutes. They kept it saying it had pretty bad rust holes and it actually sat slightly tilted to the left. It's a 1996 4wd x-cab with a matching cap which they told me to leave on for now. This truck believe it or not has 423,299 miles on it and I was on the same clutch and never really had any major problems in 12 yrs. Changed the oil every 4,000 and was hoping to get to a half a million miles, engine still runs great. My problem is now even though I'll get a new truck I'm going to have payments that I didn't count on with 2 kids in college because there frames are faulty..do they take any of these things into consideration...should I remove the cap and sell it on my own?? How much can I expect to get ETC any info will help
#132 of 927 Used truck? by hunter60 May 07, 2008 (12:37 pm)
Can you apply the buy back amount to a good used truck that a dealer has???? Replies to this message: doug70 (May 07, 2008 1:08 pm)
#133 of 927 Re: Used truck? [hunter60] by doug70 May 07, 2008 (1:08 pm)
Replying to: hunter60 (May 07, 2008 12:37 pm) I believe you can apply the check to anything that you want. If you want to make some extra cash pull the cap off and anything else that you could possibly sell.

Replying to: berdman21 (May 06, 2008 11:48 am) Brian from NY,  I am sure there will be a class action suit along the pipeline soon if not one already. There are Lawyers out there waiting to hop on this kind of anger train against such a huge corporation like Toyota. Your next step should be searching for a class action suit, finding the Lawyer who filed for the class action suit and emailing or old school writing he/she a letter about your case. The point? He or She may want to direct you to someone (or take it on aside from CAS) who will fight to get you the monies deserved and possibly more. Just a suggestion. Good Luck and I hope you get what you deserve!
#135 of 927 Re: Not too bad of a deal [kowitz] by kowitz May 08, 2008 (6:47 am)
Replying to: kowitz (Apr 07, 2008 7:04 am) I finally decided to call Toyota regarding the recall. Seems the dealer I took the truck to and their service department were full of it.   After asking for a rust inspection last month, I got the run around. I was told my truck was not part of any recall and when I asked if the rust on the frame was any concern, the service rep said "no, no concern." They did not inspect it, would not do anything and didn't have time to listen to my concerns, so I left ... and dropped the issue for a month.   Yesterday, I called the Toyota help line and asked what "certain trucks" meant in the letter and if my VIN # was part of the "recall." The answer was overwhelmingly "yes." The "certain trucks" line appears to mean "any truck that has rust on the frame." So, yes, I should have an inspection at the dealership.   Anyhow, I'm supposed to get a call from my dealership now which should lead to a real inspection for my Tacoma. We'll see ...   So, if you're getting the run around, call 1-800-331-4331 and navigate the menu till you get to talk to a rep. I had far better luck talking with them than with anyone at the dealership. Replies to this message: kowitz (May 12, 2008 7:41 am) kowitz (May 28, 2008 5:52 am) ldent1 (Jul 11, 2008 8:12 am)
