1994 toyota pickup has holes in frame from rust. I just replaced the tires and found the frame rot and I am very unhappy with this situation. The recall only goes back to the 1995 models and this is obviously a factory defect. I feel that this needs to be fixed by toyota.

I took my 1994 toyota pickup to a shop to have the clutch replaced. The shop called me and said they would not install the clutch because the frame was rusted through so bad around the rear suspension mounts that it was practically broken in half and was not safe to drive.

1. Drove vehicle adhering to, actually exceeding, vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. 2. Upper left control arm is rusting through on the vertical planes. 3. Took vehicle to local dealer for inspection. They agreed the parts are rusting but it was okay to drive. Contacted the manufacturer and they support the dealer. My vehicle is a 1994 toyota pickup truck with 225,000 miles. The power train and body are in above average condition.

I currently own a1994 toyota 4x4 owned since 1995 , have noticed right side frame rot from crossmember to front leaf spring connection . I am getting worried about me and my family's safety. It is a shame that loyal toyota owners like me are being told sorry we can't help you. I have owned toyota vehicles for over 21 years. I can't see much difference between these two models by being one year apart. I would appreciate some way to justify my situation for a repair or frame replacement, this truck runs to good to throw away.
