A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I recently had my 2003 Toyota Tundra inspected by my local garage in southeastern PA. The garage owner told me that this was the last time the vehicle would pass, and I would need to stop driving the vehicle by the end of the summer because it was becoming unsafe due to frame rust. In particular the brakes could no longer be adjusted, the spring braces are splitting, the rear backer plates are rusted and the differential is leaking.
I called Toyota after the inspection and had taken the vehicle in for recall in 2010, but they said that I had no recourse from the company. I have owned the truck since it was new and have used it for personal use only. It has been very well maintained and I was planning on keeping it for a few more years. The body is in excellent shape and the interior is like new. Even though it has 171,000 mi. it is fine for me as a retiree who uses it for for negotiating snowy roads and hauling things, lawn mowers and furniture, etc., to my mountain cabin. I now have to replace it at a substantial cost to myself and my wife. Any suggestions from anyone?
