ON APRIL 25, 2008 I PURCHASED A USED 1997 TOYOTA TACOMA FROM A USED CAR DEALER FOR $3200.  ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 15TH, 2008 I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE BALL JOINT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RUNNING OFF ONTO THE MEDIAN.  WHEN GETTING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, THE SERVICE MAN TOLD THAT MY FRAME LOOKED BAD AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED FOR FRAME RUST.  HE TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WAS EITHER FIXING OR BUYING BACK THE TRUCKS WITH BAD FRAMES.  ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 22, 2008 I TOOK MY 1997 TACOMA TO BRAD HUGHES TOYOTA IN PRESTONSBURG KY FOR AN EVALUATION OF THE FRAME.  THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT MY TRUCK DID INDEED HAVE A BAD FRAME AND THAT TOYOTA WOULD CONTACT ME.  THEY SAID THAT I COULD EXPECT TO RECEIVE 150% OF KELLEY BLUE BOOK VALUE AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WITHIN 2 WEEKS WITH AN OFFER ON MY TRUCK.    ON NOVEMBER 20, 2008 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHARLES ZACHARY OF TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS, PHONE NUMBER 1-800-331-4331.  MR ZACHARY OFFERED ME $1500 (KBB BLUE BOOK TRADE IN VALUE), NOT 150% AS PROMISED IN THE LETTER THAT TOYOTA PROMISED IN THE RECALL LETTER.  ALTHOUGH I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE BAD FRAME, I HAD TO DECLINE THE OFFER.  I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE $2700 ON A TRUCK I PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR.  MR ZACHARY'S REASON FOR OFFERING SO LITTLE WAS THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AFTER MARCH, WHEN THE LETTERS WENT OUT.  AND THAT THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING ME A TRUCK WITH A BAD FRAME.  TOYOTA IS PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER BY REFUSING TO LIVE UP TO THEIR PROMISE OF BUYING BACK THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BAD FRAMES.  THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I TOOK MY TRUCK FOR INSPECTION SAID THAT I WAS GETTING A RAW DEAL FROM TOYOTA.  THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"1997","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"TACOMA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
