What owners wrote
Tamara recall - I was exiting the freeway, making a left hand turn onto the city street, I was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour. As I entered the intersection, on a green light, a 1996 GMC yukon ran a red light, travelling approximately 40 miles an hour and hit me on my front end, damaging the bumper, fender, door, hood and bed on the drivers side.
Anti corrosion paint was put on the frame a year and half later and my truck will not pass inspection and toyota will do nothing they want me to believe that the frame rusted out in a year and a half and was fine when they put the coating on
