“DEAR SIR OR MADAM: I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA DOUBLE CAB 4X4 AT THE END OF 2010. AND WITHIN MONTHS OF MY PURCHASE I NOTICED EXCESSIVE CORROSION UNDER THE VEHICLE TAKING PLACE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CONCERNS WERE EITHER DISMISSED OR SIMPLY IGNORED. APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR LATER, DURING THE CORROSION RECALL OF THE PREVIOUS TACOMA'S, I REPORTED MY OBSERVATIONS TO THE TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL DEPARTMENT. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD I COULD PAY FOR A CORROSION TREATMENT, BUT NO RECALLS WERE YET TAKING PLACE FOR THE 2010 MODELS. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE LOOK IN TO THE TOYOTA CORROSION PROBLEM, IT EXTENDS FROM 2004 TO THE PRESENT. AND IT IS NOT ABOUT JUST LEAF'S THAT COULD FRACTURE. IT IS ABOUT TOYOTA FAILING TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THAT WAS ALREADY TAKING PLACE IN OTHER EARLIER MODELS. *TR”
