VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER DUE TO GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR WOULD NO LONGER WORK. ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE TRANSMISSION CABLE RUSTED THRU AND BROKE. DURING A SUCCESSFUL REPAIR OF ABOVE ISSUE; A FRAME INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER RUST HAD COMPROMISED THE FRAME PUTTING A FEW HOLES IN THE RIGHT FRONT FRAME RAIL. THE SERVICE PEOPLE TOOK PICTURES AND SUBMITTED A PACKAGE TO THE REGIONAL CONTACTS WITH "A RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE'S FRAME." AGAIN, THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REPAIR TECHNICIANS AND MGMT. ARE RECOMMENDING THE FRAME BE REPLACED UNDER A EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE. AT THIS POINT IN THE PROCESS TOYOTA HAS DENIED REMEDIATION AND OR CORRECTIVE WORK ON THEIR PART !! THIS IS A TUNDRA TRUCK WHICH HAS HAD ALL FACTORY RECALLS PERFORMED; AND IN OTHER ASPECTS IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL AND RUNNING SHAPE WITH JUST UNDER 70K MI. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 8/7, CASE # 1508070842 AND AM WAITING FOR FEEDBACK. I AM CREATING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT AS I DON'T BELIEVE TOYOTA WILL DO ANYTHING, YET I WANT TO BE POSITIVE ON THE MATTER. I EXPECT TOYOTA TO EITHER REPLACE THE FRAME, REMEDIATE AND REPAIR, OR OFFER TO PURCHASE IT BACK TOWARDSTHE PURCHASE OF A NEW ONE.
