Not even sure how many yotas I have owned. 12 to 15 Never had such a terrible thing happen. Frame is rotten an passenger side rear shock (upper) bracket simple blew out on a chughole on a gravel road not more than 1/10 of a mile from my house (off a state maintained blacktop. Hwy 135 in Missouri. No problem except the shocks had just been replaced less than 4000 miles ago when I bought the truck 7 months ago. Pretty sure it was the recoil of the shock that blew out the top of the frame an 3/4 of the side frame, revealing the TERRIBLE RUST!
Toyota had a recall which is no longer in effect? As I recently discovered they had a recall, which expired 15 years after production.So basically Toyota doesn't care that they have Millions of these vehicles on the road that are not safe to be driven but they don't care to uphold the Awesome reputation that they once had. I have no choice to patch this vehicle up an try to recover my loss. But I will support my part of a financial lawsuit to eliminate this problem. Just puttin some feelers out as to how many share my problem?
Never be another Yota on my place again an to all who know me an had to listen about my Yota rants........I apologize! My bad. My next vehicle will be a Chevy!
