Description of the problem	I have read several of the descriptions on the site and am afraid i'm driving an unsafe vehicle now because of the underlying rust issues which could be at the root of shifter issues, as in a previous complaint and the dangerous frame rust issue. I am not a mechanic, but i recognize many of the rust issues described here on my t100. Nhtsa should re-examine the decision to give toyota a break by not requiring that they buy back vehicles as done with similar models in their family with the frame rust issues. The allowance to continue t100s be driven puts passengers and other motorists at risk. I purchased this vehicle used, and the mechanicals and appearance belies the significant safety issues beneath. The nhtsa is remiss to not put pressure on toyota to include these vehicles in their recall as a good faith and safety measure... As the owner of newer, allegedly safe, toyota products, i am also concerned by their lack of response... Does someone have to lose their life before a suitable response is mandated? After all, this vehicle could be behind you on the drive home tonight. This ignores how this vehicle would likely just crumble in an accident. I plan to bring this vehicle in for a comprehensive check now, but in the interim, worry about its safe use. The fact that my kids are even near it when it is parked gives me pause now. Please use you influence to impress upon toyota that what is right for the safety of their customers is right for them. Thanks for reading my thoughts and for you consideration in working towards a resolution.
