04 Tacoma frame compensation

My 04 Tacoma frame is cracked and rusted, what are my options for compensation?

 

Take Toyota to court and force them to buy it back......

 

lol I thought of that,

 

You should then tell us how it went...

 

Do you have a favorite Attorney here in Melbourne, Florida, Florida?

 

All first gens are way beyond the frame recall coverage now. Your money is best spent repairing it or finding a frame for sale.

 

Yea my cousin Vinny

 

Your options for compensation are sell it, scrap it, or part it out… GL-

 

No.

It's a joke. Toyota wouldn't care if you take them to court. Safety TCAP or sell the truck as a parts vehicle.

 

One of the few times the response of "part it out" might be appropriate.

 

The truck is 21 years old. Do you expect it to last forever?

 

Yes

 

Pretty sure the replacement frames were offered up to 15 years from in-service date.

 

Well if you have paperwork from Toyota agreeing with you that it should last forever, then it should be a quick case.

How much do you think they owe you for pain and suffering?

 

Book value would be good

 

You’re getting nothing from Toyota. You’re at least six years too late. Time to try to save the frame yourself or pass it along to someone who will.

 

Trade it in on a new vehicle to an unsuspecting dealer.

 

What is the book value on a truck with a cracked and rusted frame?

 

12 yrs from in service date. Assume it was late 04, it expired in late 16. Over 8 years ago

Too bad it wasn't taken care of along the way.
