This internet research revealed serious frame rust issues on Toyota Tacomas from 2003-2011 and that Toyota was actually replacing Tacoma frames because they knew of the problem. The next step was calling a local Toyota dealership, which told us that Toyota is replacing frames for rust under what they call a \u201cwarranty extension,\u201d but it had just expired on 10/13/2021\u2026 8 days prior to the failed inspection and they would no longer fix the problem.   Before the failed inspection, we were never aware of this severe frame issue with many years of trucks\u2026 so we then called the Toyota company and they said they would no longer fix this issue, which leaves owners to either pay $10,000+ to replace the frame, or send their vehicle to be junked at the salvage yard. This is not standing by their product or taking care of serious safety issues, especially when most vehicles won\u2019t show these signs of rust for 10-15 years\u2026 which basically forces many 2003-2011 Toyota Tacoma owners to take a total loss on their vehicles or pay more than $10,000 for Toyota\u2019s mistake on these frames.   The safety risks with having the frame rust out are obvious, because the frame is critical to the structure of the vehicle and could cause serious injury to passengers and vehicles passing by, if and when it breaks\u2026 if not caught by a yearly inspection.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2010","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"TACOMA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
