My 1999 Tacoma has just been declared unsafe to drive by a local repair shop due to excessive rust on the frame (I brought it to the shop to have some A/C work done). As part of the Toyota service program, the truck was inspected last in October 2013, and passed the corrosion test. At that point the truck had 106,000 miles. I had purchased the truck afterwards, based on this inspection being done by Toyota and passing. The truck now has 119,000 miles on it, and it is not safe to drive. I called Toyota corporate and they stated that since the truck is now outside the 15-year coverage period, I have no options. I shared that the truck was inspected by them and that it is nearly impossible for a truck to go from no rust issue to significant rust issue in less than 2 years and less than 14,000 miles. She (phyllis) agreed with me and said that she would be frustrated also and that it makes sense that this shouldn't have happened, but it is now outside of the period so I have no options.

I purchased a used Toyota 1999 Tacoma from an individual which he purchased brand new with an extended warranty. I'm having problems with a oil leak from a seal in my engine. The dealership says in order for the repair to be covered w/the extended warranty the name has to be changed from the original owner. My truck has been sitting at the dealership now going on 6 weeks. I'm really getting the runaroound from these people and it's unacceptable. The warrranty was purchased with the truck and it should stay with the truck... prior to all of this I had a 5 dollar censor go out which was covered by the extended warranty and I re'cd a letter of notification of the repair under extended warranty with my name on the form.. I do not understand now that the repair is major they are refusing to repair? it's not right to me the consumer and it's totally unacceptible...
