    Dear Mr. ,

    You are very welcome.

    With regard to your inquiry, as many of our customers are aware, the name Toyota stands for quality. There is no life expectancy for parts on our vehicles; therefore, warranties are put in place when issues arise. At the point the warranty expires, the responsibility shifts from the manufacturer to the owner.

    Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #1310310403.

    If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

    Dear Mr.

    Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.,

    I apologize for your concern regarding the frame of your 2006 Toyota Tacoma V6.

    I have included rust prevention information from the Owner's Manual:

    Per the Owner's Manual:

    SECTION 5

    CORROSION PREVENTION AND
    APPEARANCE CARE

    Protecting your Toyota from
    corrosion

    Toyota, through its diligent research, design
    and use of the most advanced
    technology available, helps prevent corrosion
    and provides you with the finest quality
    vehicle construction. Now, it is up to
    you. Proper care of your Toyota can help
    ensure long-term corrosion prevention.
    to your vehicle are:

    - The accumulation of road salt, dirt and
    moisture in hard-to-reach areas under
    the vehicle.

    - Chipping of paint, or undercoating
    caused by minor accidents or by
    stones and gravel.

    Care is especially important if you live
    in particular areas or operate your vehicle
    under certain environmental conditions:

    - Road salt or dust control chemicals will
    accelerate corrosion, as will the presence
    of salt in the air near the sea-
    coast or in areas of industrial pollution.

    - High humidity accelerates corrosion especially
    when temperatures range just
    above the freezing point.

    - Wetness or dampness to certain parts
    of your vehicle for an extended period
    of time, may cause corrosion even
    though other parts of the vehicle may
    be dry.

    - High ambient temperatures can cause
    corrosion to those components of the
    vehicle which do not dry quickly due to
    lack of proper ventilation.

    The above signifies the necessity to keep
    your vehicle, particularly the underside, as
    clean as possible and to repair any damage
    to paint or protective coatings as
    soon as possible.

    To help prevent corrosion on your
    Toyota, follow these guidelines:

    Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of
    course, necessary to keep your vehicle
    clean by regular washing, but to prevent
    corrosion, the following points should be
    observed:

    - If you drive on salted roads in the
    winter or if you live near the ocean,
    you should hose off the undercarriage
    at least once a month to minimize corrosion.

    - High pressure water or steam is effective
    for cleaning the vehicle’s underside
    and wheel housings. Pay particular
    attention to these areas as it is difficult
    to see all the mud and dirt. It will do
    more harm than good to simply wet the
    mud and debris without removing. The
    lower edge of doors, rocker panels and
    frame members have drain holes which
    should not be allowed to clog with dirt
    as trapped water in these areas can
    cause corrosion.

    - Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly
    when winter is over.

    The warranty for your vehicle's frame is three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the April 10, 2006 date of first use for your vehicle.

    Your Toyota is currently outside these warranty parameters. We have reviewed your circumstances, taking into account such factors as vehicle age and miles, especially as compared with the manufacturer’s original warranty, the type of repair, and prior maintenance and repair history. While we regret that you incurred this expense, Toyota declines your request for reimbursement.

    I apologize for the disappointment you experienced with your vehicle, and your feedback about your experience is greatly appreciated.

    While repairs outside of warranty are the responsibility of the customer, Toyota regrets your dissatisfaction, because you've been loyal to Toyota by your purchase of your Toyota and by patronizing your Toyota dealership.

    We work really hard to put out the best cars and trucks we know how, and we strive to constantly improve every aspect of their quality. A huge part of this effort is based on the honest, frank opinions of our customers, because the last thing we want to do is to make products that drive people away from Toyota. So please be assured that what you've told us is taken very seriously by Toyota management and by every Toyota associate, because it is just this sort of feedback that inspires our daily effort to make our vehicles better and better.

    To confirm this, Toyota would be happy to offer you, as a gesture of our appreciation of your Toyota ownership history and your patronage of your Toyota dealership:

    This is to confirm that we would be happy to offer a one-time reimbursement of $750 on the purchase or lease of a new Toyota (Scion not included because of Scion's Pure Pricing policy) from a U.S. Toyota dealership, from today until up to a year from today.

    This offer is non-transferable.

    This offer is separate from your negotiations with the Toyota dealership at the time of purchase.

    Also, this offer does not exclude other incentives that may apply to your purchase at the time of sale; this offer is on top of and in addition to any other incentives that are applied to your purchase at the time of sale.

    To obtain the reimbursement, complete your purchase or lease deal at the Toyota dealership of your choice, and send us

    1) a photocopy of your signed contract
    2) proof of payment (a copy of the loan or finance agreement, a cash receipt, credit card slip or credit card statement, or photocopy of the cancelled check)
    3) and a photocopy of your state registration to:

    Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
    19001 S. Western Avenue
    Torrance, CA 90509-2991
    Attention: WC11, file #1310310403

    Or, please feel welcome to attach the materials to your email reply.

    We will contact you to acknowledge receipt of the documentation, and mail you the check in thanks to you for being a member of the Toyota Family.

    I apologize that due to current claim volumes, the estimated reimbursement time is approximately ten weeks from the time we receive your documentation.

    It is through correspondence such as yours that we are able to continue to improve our products and services, and we appreciate the time you have taken to bring this matter to our attention.

    Outstanding campaigns and recalls are available by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on our website, even when a campaign may not be finalized or ready to be mailed out:

    http://www.toyotaownersonline.com/sscinfo?siteid=too_toyota_recall_vinlookup

    Safety Recall 90L - Potential Floor Mat Interference with Accelerator Pedal Not Completed

    60E-2005 Through Late 2006 Model Year Tacoma Access Cab Supplemental Information For Installation Of A Child Restraint System And Correction To The Tire And Loading Information Label Not Completed

    Please see your local Toyota dealership http://www.toyota.com/dealers/ to have any outstanding Safety Recalls performed on your Toyota at no charge to you.

    Sincerely,

    James F.

    They didnt say if it passed/failed. Pretty much told me they wouldnt help beyond the 750 to buy a new truck. So im assuming it "failed"

    So what did they do then? Pretty much SOL and not give you anything because of it?

    Wt? That's bullcrap. I'm starting to think they do this on purpose so people who have to get a new truck with the same problems like every 5 or 6 years. Well if it happens to mine, idk what I would do. Did you clean your frame a lot?
