EXTREME RUST DAMAGE TO FRAME ,SUSPENSION,STEERING COMPONENTS ETC. UNDER THE VEHICLE BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EVEN WITH MEASURES TAKEN TO REMOVE AND TREAT WITH INHIBITIVE COATING. NEVER SEEN RUST THIS BAD ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED . APPARENTLY TOYOTA RECALLED MANY OTHER PICKUPS FROM 1995 FORWARD. MINE IS A 1994 AND FROM READING OTHER COMMENTS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME CONDITIONS. *TR

OWNER OF 2 1994 TOYOTA PICKUPS, WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN ONE OF THEM AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS ALMOST READY TO FALL IN....DECIDED TO SEE WHAT I NEEDED TO DO TO REPAIR IT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED INTO, I REALIZED I WAS LUCKY I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT GETTING HURT. I DECIDED TO LOOK AND SEE IF I COULD USE THE ONE FROM MY OTHER TRUCK THAT I NO LONGER DROVE, CONSIDERING AFTER DAYS OF SEARCHING, THAT BUYING A NEW ONE WAS NOT AN OPTION. LOW AND BEHOLD IT WAS JUST AS BAD. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I HADN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN A BAD ACCIDENT ON MY TWO HOUR ONE-WAY DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. USED UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE THE ONLY THING I CAN FIND, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO EVEN USE A USED ONE. *TR

(THE DEALER IS ABOUT 91 MILES FORM WHERE I LIVE) THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE FRAME HAD IN DEED FAILED AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. DEALER ADVISED TO CONTACT TOYOTA MOTOR CORP. I CONTACTED TOYOTA, WHO IN TURNS DENIES ANY WRONG DOING! THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A DEALER CONSUMER ISSUE. I ASKED WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE TRUCK? TOYOTA,ADVISED ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THEY KNOW IS UNSAFE, ON THE HIGHWAY! *TR
