Replying to: pjad (Jan 05, 2009 12:21 pm) I'm curious if they will put their money where there mouth is by taking my truck in trade on a decent used truck on their lot made by another brand after they perform their frame swap. I just dont want to have to deal with anymore BS right now. I was looking foward to being done with that truck payment and certainly dont want to incur even more debt in horrible economic times. |

Replying to: bigbe (Jan 06, 2009 6:09 am)  what year is the FJ ?? the FJ cruisers have a subframe issue.. look it up.. the front right inner stamped frame along the top of the fenders are literally cracking in half and then the front bumper drops because of the split,, it has been a prob for a few years. check these out. http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/2007/04/2007-toyota-fj-cruiser---a-crack-in-t- - he-armor.html http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/attachments/problems-dealer-service/14799d- - 1187501670-engine-bay-body-rips-dsc03059w.jpg

I am totally disgusted with Toyota. They have had my truck for more than 2months and just told me that now they will replace the frame. It has sat for the 2 months ...in tocoma land...rotting...literally. I am refusing the offer and have contacted the DOT and my Attorney General's office. They said I am the only one they have heard from and one is not enough to make a difference. The plan is unacceptable. If you want to make them change the offer to a more fair one...everyone should be contacting their Attorney General, The DOT and their local politicians. We bought the toyota with trust in their integrity and now they are not standing by their vehicles with substandard frames. The vehicle will be worth less and we are taking the loss. We need a class action suit and we need to not give up and take what they offer. My dealer said they do not even have the frames..it will be a long process. Did anyone recieve official paper work from Toyota stating their plan? |

Replying to: horselover2 (Jan 07, 2009 6:36 am) I've yet to hear back from Toyota and don't want a new frame. I filed an official complaint with NHTSB (or whatever it is). I will file with DOT as per your suggestion and look into the State Attourney General as well. I love my truck, but I really LOVED it's reliability and high resale value. Now what do I have?

I informed a coworker with an 04 Tacoma that his truck might have frame problems as well and he was NOT happy.

Replying to: Sambone5769 (Jan 07, 2009 10:04 am) I have looked around but got no answers. as far as toyota was concerned, it only affected 95 - 00. Now they are acknowledging 2001 - 2004 but whos to say it doesnt exist in 05, 06 or 07 ? somewhere earlier in this thread I believe a toyota rep put in some "official" info about the buy back program but I dont think he has added any new info. |
