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

the truck was bought in the south but it was bought new in Boston Mass I took it to a Toyota dealer here in the south they told me the frame was shot. But would not replace it because it was a northern recall and do to the modification done to it

 

I just took out a couple of pictures which I have hundreds and a lot of live footage but don't want to show anybody with out there okay. The veh. that had no front left on it was the one my plt sg was in.The one blown up and the but sticking up I was in. the one where the helicopter in our counter part A polish leader got killed

 

Fuck. Glad you're OK, bud. Can't thank you enough for your sacrifice.

 

I had 2 American friends got killed one polish friend got killed and I seen most of it never want to see it again

 

lets get back to the original question What is to stop Toyota from buying back these rusted out vehicles and taking them to the south and off loading the take a look at a truck I brought in FL I live in southern tip of GA

 

I went to put a Reese hitch under it this is what I got look at picture

 

I took it to the dealer because there was a recall on it They told me it was a northern recall only and that it was modified that they do not have to replace it

 

If they sued Dana the frame maker and they got lump some of money they should replace everyone that is on the recall list if they come forward with an issue with the frame

 

Did you buy this truck new or used?

 

I brought it out of FL about a month ago went to put a Reese hitch underneath and I got the big supprise

 

I'm not understanding what you're asking. You bought a used 15 year old truck without looking underneath. Which I completely understand because I made the exact same mistake before too. Only it was a Ford. But you're wanting Toyota to buy back your truck because it probably spent most of it's life on salted roads and it's rusted to hell?

 

that is correct and it is on there recall list

 

Your truck is on their recall list but won't honor the recall because....?

 

It is in the south it was a northern recall only

 

Yeah, I read that earlier. What does that mean?

 

for what I am gathering it only involves with northern states .witch I got in touch with one of them that dealer is waiting for an answer from the big shot. Also waiting on the NHTSA to start their investigation

 

just here to let other owners to beware of what's going on with these frame Don't get me wrong the truck is every thing I wanted and more except the frame.

 

the truck was bought new in Boston Mass spent most of it life there . Then went to FL then I bought it and reside in GA

 

two peace's of steel where tack welded to hold what's left of the frame together by the leaf spring

 

I'd talk with Toyota corporate. Just because you bought it and live in the south doesn't make it a southern truck. That and the fact your vin is on the tsb or recall , it should be an easy fix. Not sure if that year was a buy back or frame replacement.
I highly doubt, and I think this is what you're speculating....that Toyota bought the truck back in the northeast, then shipped it south to resell. It doesn't make sense. Likely the person moved there or sold it to someone who did.

 

A previous owner probably did not know about the recall or tsb and tried to have it fixed. Try another dealer, or Toyota corporate

 

I said it is possible there is nothing out there to govern it and there is no type of yearly inspection like up north somebody else could buy one of these trucks not being aware of the problem and get hurt

 

I do remember that when I had my tacoma frame inspected and subsequently my truck bought back, there was a time frame to get it inspected. If the previous owner(s) missed that window I'm not sure if that leaves you out of luck or not.

 

I am going to hold that back until I find out the results of that northern dealer and the NHTSA

 

At first they told me I have until Oct to have something done with it
