TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THEY FOUND THAT THE FRAME, EXHAUST AND THE FUEL TANK WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SPEAK WIT THE MANUFACTURER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

I NOTICED WHEN I WAS FILLING UP WITH GAS THAT I WAS LEAKING GAS WHERE THE FILLER TUBE HAD RUSTED AWAY FROM THE TANK AS WELL AS THE RETURN FUEL LINE. THEN I NOTICED THAT MY FRAME IS CRACKED IN FRONT OF THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK. AFTER REMOVING THE FUEL TANK I REALIZED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. LUCKILY I FOUND THIS OUT BEFORE ME AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO THE FRAME PRE-MATURELY RUSTING OUT. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE... *TR
