Toyota rust / quality issues rant

If my truck was a '92, I'd be cool with it too.

 

What vehicle doesnt have problems? There is no such thing as "perfect" you ever see the old Walgreens commercial? Its just whats fits YOU. If the dealer is takeing care of you, it should all be good right? Just be glad the issues that you are having a are not serious. Should I pull up the website that has all vehicle recalls listed? Its sad, really.. Toyota has ALOT less then all domestics. I understand your mad, but just cause your having some problems with that truck, does not mean every Toyota will have that problem.

 

The truck was a 92 that now has 500,000 miles on it. The roll bar however, was bought new and started to get surface rust on it.

 

you're a dick! The guy has a legitimate bitch. Look at the pics dude! Get off the Toyota bandwagon,its sickening!

 

What's that got to do with it?

 

What,s wrong with Ford, 180000 on my F250 without a problem. Thats an asshole statement.

 

some of you guys must be retarded.its an 2010.there should be no rust anywhere.he shouldnt have to use chrome polish to remove rust.IT SHOULD NOT BE THERE PERIOD.
i have been driving toyota pickups for 15 years now and my 08 is the biggest pile of shit out of all of them.

 

That people seem to be complaning about the 2nd gens alot latley. Were the 1st gens seem to be fine. It was just a jk.

 

agree!

 

Again, another jk.

 

I think the OP has legitimate complaints about the rust.

As for the features (heated mirrors, tailgate lock) that are "lacking" or the items that are subjective (poor radio sound quality), I'm really not going to pay attention to bitching in that area. You test drove it and inspected it before delivery. Did you not know the features you were receiving?

 

Thats why Toyota is replacing the bumper. In the mean time, he can polish it and get rid of the rust if it bothers him.

 

X2.

And x2...

 

I agree on the bumper issue as well. My 2000 has an almost flawless bumper and its 10 years old, a brand new truck definitely should have barely if any rust on it this soon. The dealer should be willing to get you a new bumper or something for rust like that.

 

there should be no rust on a 2010, period!

 

Ah if they're replacing them then no harm no foul, toyota is backing it up as usual

 

So is yours. I've owned about a dozen Fords = garbage, all of them. So you have one "without a problem", big deal.

I'll post it again. On the attached chart, Ford is 10th and Toyota is 17th out of 20. Facts are facts, Toyota has better quality. Period.

i bet the frame is rusting too.hope he looks under the truck and post pics of that.

 

Maybe there's something wrong with the new bumpers, who knows. His has rust, mine is fine, so who knows. It was probably made here in the US just like the recalled pedal assemblies.
