NHTSA complaint #10310016, filed 2010-02, 139,940 miles“I bought a 1993 4x4 Toyota Pickup used and discovered it is rusted worse than any other vehicle ive ever seen. The frame is rusted into in multiple places, the brake lines have rusted off and I've lost all brakes so I cant drive it at all now. It runs and goes great or well it did untill frame broke and brakes went out. Apparently 1993 frames are the worst frames to have according to everything ive seen online. What bothers me is I have a 1991 two wheel drive Toyota truck just like it and it doesn't have any rust at all nowhere on frame or body. And both trucks are from the same area. …”
