2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE THE NOTIFICATION. I WAS TOLD PARTS WERE ORDERED AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED AND SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. I'VE CONTACTED DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, WHEN PARTS ARRIVED. THE INITIAL LETTER TOLD ME NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.) I THINK I'VE BEEN PATIENT LONG ENOUGH.WHEN THIS ALL STARTED I WAS IN LEXINGTON KY. I AM CURRENTLY IN OKEECHOBEE FL. I'VE CONTACTED DEALERS IN EACH AREA.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FEB 2015. WHILE DOING SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IN MAY 2015 TO THE VEHICLE I NOTICED SOME FRAME RUST. WHEN I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK I NOTICED THAT SOME AREAS OF THE FRAME RAILS WHERE PIECES WERE CONNECTED APPEARED TO BE STARTING TO SEPARATE DUE TO RUSTING. I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN ON JUNE 20, 2015 FOR THEM TO HAVE A LOOK. AFTER ONE OF THE TECHS ON SITE LOOKED AT THE TRUCK FRAME HE TOLD HIS MANAGER THAT IF THIS TRUCK CAME INTO THEIR SHOP THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FRAME AS PART OF A RECALL. THE MANAGER TOOK SOME PICTURES AND SAID THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME. AFTER NOT HEARING BACK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE FRAME WAS PREVIOUSLY COATED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING AS PART OF A TOYOTA RECALL FOR RUSTING FRAMES THAT THERE WAS NOT MUCH MORE THEY COULD DO. I THEN OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE DUE TO MY CONCERN OF SAFETY AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DECISION THAT WAS MADE TO TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION ON THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS STILL AND ACTIVE CAMPAIGN. TOYOTA BASICALLY GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE AS THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED IF THEY COULD AT LEAST REVIEW THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SAFE FOR DRIVING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND THE FRAME WAS COATED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING AND THAT WAS BASICALLY THE END OF WHAT THEY COULD OFFER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE FRAME IS OBVIOUSLY STILL RUSTING SO WHATEVER FIX THEY PERFORMED DID NOT WORK. WHETHER IT WAS DONE IMPROPERLY OR PERHAPS NOT THE CORRECT DECISION BASED ON THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST GAVE THIS CASE A SECOND EVALUATION CONSIDERING THAT THE CAMPAIGN WAS STILL ACTIVE WHEN I HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS TRUCK CONSIDERING THAT THE FRAME CONTINUES TO RUST.
