I stopped at a gas station to investigate a vibration my truck had just started giving off. Found out that the frame has rusted completely through and has an inch of steel left holding it together. I called Toyota and they will not accept any responsibility for the faulty steel. I bought this vehicle from a used car dealer who said the vehicle passed a Missouri state inspection and am currently having to make payments on it and it can not be driven.

My husbands 1996 Tacoma was recalled due to rusting underneath and was dangerous to drive, but because we were in chapter 13 we were told to come and get the truck back from the dealer. We are now done this month with the chapter 13 and we have called Toyota and they will not make good on the recall offer. My husband now has a truck that he cannot sale or trade because it is red tagged.
