10/22/2012 recently had occasion to look at the frame on my truck, it is rusted through in many spots making vehicle unsafe, 2002 Toyota Tacoma, apparently I missed some "courtesy" frame program. I am stuck with a $10,000 truck that I can't afford to fix and Toyota has said that they will not offer any help.I think this needs to go beyond a "courtesy " recall, with the large amounts of these trucks on the road in unsafe conditions New York state has forced an extension of this program, traffic safety should force a recall as there are thousands out there in this shape by Toyota own admission I would like repairs or fair market value.
