zero customer cost. yes the frames were rusting out in the salt belt states. 60 hours. like a new truck when done. you know the motors never die. the frame was there only weak point.
I don't know really anything about jeeps . the rusty tacos were 95 to 04 I think.
the 95 to 00 were bought back at 1 1/2 times blue book then crushed. the newer ones get the frame. it works out cheaper i guess. at least toyota stands behind there products.
I remember when Honda Civics would break into two pieces from rust-out. The Honda factory execs came to the US to see for themselves as they couldn't believe their cars did that.
