I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma which has rust perforation on main body frame in two areas. The dealership and Toyota representative stated it is not bad enough. One assistant manager stated my frame does have perforation.

Toyota 2007 Tacoma. Nice new ,the truck has been very unforgiving ,,,the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are placed so close together , that its not a question of could,, but answer is yes. . Its happened to me, sister borrowed it,and I warned about the problem,she still ran into the rear of another vehicle. . The truck is dangerous. . Im used to it, but still if I have boots on, I have trouble. . The pedals are so close, and nearly the same height. . I cant believe this very dangerous design hasn't been identified and repaired. I dare not loan my truck to anyone , because of past experience. . Its just not safe!!! I shouldn't have to change the original design, but , to make it safe I might have too. . Come on Toyota ,,this is a problem. . Lets fix it. .
