Description of the problem | 1997 toyota t-100 has frame rust rot and is not drivable any more. The brakes do not work. The frame is in incredibly terrible shape. Very unsafe and is in fact not drivable any more. The body and the rest of the truck are in very good shape with no rust and the motor is in excellent condition. I have had the truck for almost two years but have only put 5,000 miles on it. The truck now has 65,000 miles on it. I purchased it from a dealer in pennsylvania. I think toyota should honor their commitment to t-100 owners just as they have tacoma and tundra owners. I backed the truck out of my driveway recently and found that the brakes didn't work as i rolled out of control down a hill. Luckily there were no other vehicles coming and i was able to get the truck stopped by turning the ignition off. The repair shop near my house informed me that the frame was so bad that it was not fixable. |
