What owners wrote
I had to replace my power steering rack due to rust. This was done in july of 2008. When the service tech (actually all in shop) looked at it, they said they had never seen anything like it. The part was literally crumbling in their hands. Now in nov. Of 2009, I read that toyota is saying that this truck did not receive the proper rust protection when built. I am a long standing toyota owner. This I hoped to handled in a way to make customers satisfied.
I have a 2000 tundra on which the frame is rotting away. Can you help by forcing a recall like they did with 95 -01 tacomas.
