Early last month, the news broke that Toyota Motor Corp had agreed to settle a federal class action suit brought to court by owners of vehicles whose frames could rust through – specifically the Toyota Tacoma frame.
“We want our customers to have a great ownership experience, so we are pleased to resolve this litigation in a way that benefits them and demonstrates that we stand behind the quality and reliability of our vehicles,” Toyota said
Well, what exactly does this entail?
Sure – they had already agreed to the replacement via their “Limited Service Campaign,” but how far does this go?
Will dealers use this recall as a chance to recoup cost by demanding those who brought their Toyota vehicles in for service pay for parts that need to be replaced as a result of the recall? Will it be a similar situation to the one I faced last November?
Per Reuters, “The settlement reached on Oct. 31 covers Tacoma trucks from the model years 2005 through 2010, Sequoias from 2005 through 2008 and Tundras from the 2007 and 2008 model years.“
You truly are an ungrateful d bag. Toyota unlike every other manufacturer has offered to give you a 10k frame replacement and you just cry like a bitch. I have personally replaced over 200 frames and some trucks require no additional parts and others are high milage pieces of shit that should be in a junk yard. But toyota still invests thousands to make the customer happy. You’re pissed off about brake lines that your truck obviously needed before the frame was bad. Good for you wanting your family driving in a truck with 180k miles and no brakes. You truely are a piece of shit. If the roof on your house is bad and the carpenter tells you the rafters are bad should he replace them for free. No im guessing you are a liberal democrat that just wants everything for free.
Hey Rex,
I appreciate your comments & reached out via email.
Happy Holidays!

My Tacoma qualifies for the frame replacement by Toyota says it’s to late. Really!!
Sorry to read that Roger. Have you considered reaching out to the lawyer/lawfirm who’s in charge of the settlement for clarification?
