THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

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

LOST BRAKE FUNCTION, BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR & LOCKED UP. SLID ACROSS ROAD & HIT GUARD RAIL. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING IN OTHER DIRECTION. MECHANIC SAID BRAKE LINES WHERE COMPETELY RUSTED OUT & SO IS THE ENTIRE FRAME OF MY TRUCK.I'M AFRAID TRUCK COULD EVENTUALLY BRAKE IN HALF WHILE DRIVING. ENTIRE UNDER BODY IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. HAD TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE, SO I AM WRITING NOW. *TR

I HAVE OWNED 6 TOYOTA TRUCKS FROM 1985 THRU 1997 AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD SEAT BELT PROBLEMS. THEY DO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY AND HANG OUT THE DOOR AND YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY RETRACT THEM BACK IN. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME KNOW EVENT AND IN THE PAST TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THEM AT NO CHARGE. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE AND THEN TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN WESLEY CHAPLE FL. BOTH THE MANUFACTURE AND THE DEALER SAID "SORRY YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I AM VERY UPSET SINCE MY SEAT BELTS HAVE NOW SINCE FRAYED FROM BEING CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS. I USE TO BE A MECHANIC FOR TOYOTA AND KNOW FOR A FACT THEY HAVE HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH SEATBELT CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. I WOULD HOPE SOMEONE CAN INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT AND RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
