I spoke to Evalyn McClendon @ Toyota Manufacturing Co. in CA and she said Toyota's policy states that this isn't their problem. They won't help me with this. The dealership said it's not their problem and that I need to take it up with the manufacturer. (typical run around) They could care less. Truck is in Great shape, other than the frame rails being rusted out. (in only 8 years) The truck has NEVER been damaged by flood. Toyota Manufacturing Co. told Thompson Toyota in Doylestown, Pa that because the truck is in the Northeast there was nothing they could do. That being said I guess I need to pack up my life and move!! Now I'm stuck with a great looking truck that is not safe for the road. I purchased this truck brand new in 8/2000. So much for the Weather Package, that's didn't help protect the frame. The dealership's don't tell customers that they DO NOT do undercoating. You find out like I did. TOYOTA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCTS!!!!! I purchased the extended warranty and even that's not valid now. Waste of money!!! I used to be a big fan of Toyota until they treated me this way!! I'll go to Honda or Nissan and give them my business. STAY AWAY FROM TOYOTA!!!! Very disappointing
