I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR FRAME RUST WHICH I RESPONDED TO ON JULY 11, 2014. THEY TREATED MY TRUCK FRAME WITH A CHEMICAL AND UNDER COATING SAYING THERE WAS NO RUST THROUGH AND MY FRAME WOULD NOT BE REPLACED. SIX MONTHS LATER I HAVE RUST THROUGH ON THE FRAME AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANY FURTHER REPAIRS ON IT. I FEEL THEY JUST COVERED UP THE RUST PROBLEM SO I WOULDN'T SEE IT AND NOW ITS A PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

TOYOTA ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON FRAME RUST ISSUES, AND APPLIED MY VEHICLE WITH A CORROSION PROTECTIVE COMPOUND IN OCT 2014 (DEALER IN BUFFALO NY). IN JUNE 2015, I NOTICED INCREASING RUST AREAS ON MY SUSPENSION MOUNTING POINTS, FRAME MEMBERS AND OTHER AREAS. WENT BACK TO THE DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALER (IN KENTUCKY) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT CLEANED CORRECTLY WHEN UNDERCOATED. TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER SAID THEIR OBLIGATION WAS ONLY TO COAT THE FRAME AND NOT NECESSARILY DO IT CORRECTLY. THE COATING IS A ONE TIME SERVICE AND IS TO PREVENT RUSTING. THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH SUPPORTING DATA ON THEIR CLAIM THAT THE COATING PREVENTS RUSTING. THEY HAVE TAKEN A PERFECTLY FINE FRAME AND MADE IT RUST NOW, AND UNSAFE TO USE
