what is to stop Toyota from buying back a northern truck .

I see you trying to change the subject sorry I have been down that road

 

good night

 

WTH just happened??

 

what do you mean?

 

the staff members on this sight don't like what I talk about so they trying to interrupt what is really going on with Toyota

 

that tells me they got something to hide

 

This.

 

Or maybe this?

 

I can certainly deny that for them. This is a bunch of jokers that mean no harm. The question you posed seemed to be something that is highly unlikely to the point that the assumption is that you are kidding around.

Toyota would go out of business if they had to purchase back all Tundras with rust issues due to weather in specifically localized areas.
Don't take offense, we are all used to joking around with everyone. They really messed with me at first, and still do may I add. If they don't stop hurting my feelings I might need to find another forum.

 

True fact, dat!

 

From weather related rust? I'm picturing what his question to be as that of a northern driven vehicle. Were the Tacomas rust prone for a metal related reason or did they just buy any old rusted tacoma? Also, with the dilemmas being experienced right now can you picture them buying back rusty Tundras?

 

I've got a setting for auto instant delete of the history as soon as I leave the page. It's not paranoia if they're really after you.

 

But was it due to bad metal? That seems crazy to me. Which years?

 

I'm not quite sure, but I believe it was related to a metal issue. Yes the salt on the roads contributed to it but they did find a specific issue with the frames, I forgot the manufacturer of the frames, but iirc they were exposed to a chemical or something like that from the factory.
I had my 99 taco bought back. I drove it for 5 years and they paid me what I paid for it (18k) Then gave me a grand cash towards a new Tacoma, that's when I got my 08 brand new (29k), which i drove 8 years, traded (got 19k) for my 15 tundra. I made out big time but it was a frame metal issue, the salt caused some kind of interaction. Not just simple rust from not taking proper care of your truck in a northern state.

 

Yup. That's it. It was a chemical reaction with the salt and whatever defect the frames had. Dana paid big time I'm sure but...still had or have contracts with Toyota since then

 

Sounds like a manufacturer issue. That's kinda what I was getting at

 

John, welcome aboard! Thank you for your service, my younger son is a combat vet, was in the 2nd Armored Cav and in the first group into Baghdad. Were you in Afghanistan?
And yes, she sings!

 

You're right. Unless OP can prove this is a manufacturer issue, which would be known by now. The fact that the owner(s) of this particular tundra didn't take care of it....is not Toyota's fault
