Suspension Problems of Toyota Prerunner

Took my tacoma in today for spare tire recall. Work was denied due to frame rust. I did not received any notices beforehand until this one. I feel my vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have owned my tacoma since 2003.

I received notice from Toyota of possible excessive frame rust years ago . (about 2007) I did the inspection myself and thought frame was good. Did not take to dealer for inspection . In September of 2013 I find out that Toyota is not responsible and I missed the deadline. I think I understand that since it was not a NHTSA issued recall, they have the right to put a expiration date on the recall . The bottom line is I goofed up . But there still existed thousands of tacomas and tundras on the roads today that are a hazard to the driver and all others around them . Why didn't the NHTSA issue a manditory recall ?.

Bed of truck swayed when a load was in bed, dealer has changed rack & pinion steering/tie rod ends/springs and shocks, but that has not remedied the problem. Consumer was also informed that there was a problem with the tires which was actually causing the problems, the tires were then balanced and rotated, consumer stated the problem with the swaying was still there, consumer realized that when weight is on bed of the vehicle, that is when the vehicle seems to sway, consumer was informed that manufacturer is aware of the problem, but has no place of alleviating the problem.
