CURRENT MILEAGE APROX. 89000 . HAD A BRAKE CHECK AT MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. RAISED TRUCK ON TO THE LIFT AND WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT HAD BEEN REVEALED . THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH ALL OF ITS CROSS MEMBERS, CREATING A MAJOR STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WICH IS CONNECTED AT 4 POINTS TO THE MAIN FRAME RAILS IS NOW ONLY CONNECTED AT 1 POINT. THIS CROSS MEMBER ALSO CARRYS THE SPARE TIRE. IF GONE UN DISCOVERD MAY HAVE FALLEN OFF DURING TRAVEL, CREATING A SAFTEY CONCERN. THE MAIN FRAME RAIL HAS MAJOR RUST DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTION POINT WITH THE CENTER CROSS MEMBER WICH PROVIDES STABILITY TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THESE FRAMES BUT WERE ONLY PROVIDING A SPRAY ON RUBBERIZED COATING, WICH MOSTLY FLAKED OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND OPENED UP A CLAIM WICH WAS EVENTUALLY DENIED.THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AS IS .IM NOT FINANCIALLY IN A POSITION TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME . I DONT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN WITH THIS SITUATION IF YOU SPEND 40-50,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 89000 MILES OUT OF IT

I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM BF GOODRICH DEALER IN MINNESOTA ON12/9/2015 THEY MOUNTED AND BALANCED AND INSTALLED THE TIRES. THEN ON 9/01/2017 I HAD A REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODE AND COME APART AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BROUGHT THE DAMAGED TIRE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH INSTALLED THEM AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE TIRES THE DEALER SOLD ME AS NEW TIRES HAD A MANUFACTURES DATE OF 09/2000 THAT MEANT THAT THE TIRES WHERE OVER 15 YEARS OLD THAT THEY SOLD ME AS NEW TIRES AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ULTIMATELY THE ISSUE OF THE TIRE EXPLODING CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF ACTION AS A CONSUMER I CAN TAKE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. *JS
