Frame rust. There was a inspection period for rusted frames on this vehicle (and others), I missed the inspection period and am fearful that my truck is potentially dangerous. I think this inspection time period and work should be expanded to protect current owners and others on the roads. Toyota states it is out of their hands and they can do nothing for me, regardless of the safety issue. Please help expand this into a recall or expand the inspection and correction period. Note: Actual date of inspection or inspection notice is unknown

Frame limited recall that expired March 2016 I did not receive notification and Toyota refuses repair. My family drives this vehicle and I feel it is not safe due to recall. There are visible signs of corrosion. Recall is recall. Visible corrosion is abundant.

I called Toyota in February 2014 to complain of rough riding truck. Was told my truck was out of warranty and nothing Toyota was willing to cover. In October 2014 I called Toyota to report my leaf springs had broke and needed replaced. Was told Toyota would not cover repairs and that I was responsible to pay for the repairs. Shortly after I made the repair, Toyota issued a recall of the leaf springs. I have been battling with them to be reimbused since late 2014. Today while speaking with supervisor on duty at Toyota, luis carrillo, I was informed Toyota knew of the recall in September 2014, so when I called in October 2014, Toyota fraudulently told me they would not cover the costs and I was responsible. This is what is wrong with the world today, nobody does the right thing unless the government makes them. Still today Toyota will not reimburse me for the leaf springs. What can be done to stop them from continuing their fraudulent ways that leaves americans and their family in danger?

Toyota has not reimbursed me for payment I made to replace a leaf (spring). The leaf became subject to a recall. I have sent them documentation and sometimes they asked me for documentation I have already provided. Now they are asking for documentation showing cause as to why the leaf failed"??? they never asked for such in the beginning. I feel like they are just trying to wear me out. Can I file a complaint with your Agency" thank you! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
