Problems with 2004 Toyota Tundra STRUCTURE

There are two cables that hold the tailgate in place when fully opened(extended). yesterday(7/17/08) while unloading my motorcycle, both cables broke simultaneously mid way through the unloading process. the cables broke at the exact same place which was exactly half way from one end to the other. the cable is enclosed in a plastic sleeve. that sleeve is not sealed at each end. when the tailgate is in the closed position, which is most of the time, rain or other moisture collects in the plastic enclosure and settles at the bottom of the "u" shaped tube. over time that moisture has caused the cables to rust and weaken thus the break in my opinion. the result of the brake was that the tailgate feel unannounced to the top of the bumper thus denting the bumper and potentially causing harm to the individual who was doing the unloading. in my opinion this is a flawed product. *tr

Extensive rust is located on the frame of the truck. this 2004 toyota tundra was built on the toyota tacoma frames before toyota made the larger tundra and frames. it's therefore likely that the same extensive rust recall for the previous years tacoma's should extend to the tundra's that were once built on these frames. since the delivery date on this truck is december 31, 2003, it is believed that this vehicle should also be recalled under the same premise. the pictures from the recalled tacoma frames look very, very similar and there should be a check on whether or not this 2004 toyota tundra frame has the same exact problem. *tr

Vehicle frame is rotting. this is a common problem with the toyota tundra. for whatever reason, prior recalls did not apply to the 2004 model year even though the same problem exists when the vehicle is used in areas that are treated with salt during the winter. frame corrosion has rendered this vehicle unsafe to drive.

Sun roof exploded and glass fell inside of vehicle. also, damaged outside of cab and hard cover on bed of truck. the temperature was 79 degrees and there were no vehicles or obstackles around to have caused this problem.*ak

Bought my truck last year off a toyota dealership they said they did a safty inspection on the truck, i was recently just told i should have my frame checked, so i did, and the frame did not pass but do to the previous owner forgot to get the frame under coated it voided out getting a new frame, so i went back to the dealership that i bought the truck at and ask them why they sold me a truck that has a bad frame but told me that it passed their safty inspection, there answer was sometime those things happens and there's nothing they can do. so my issue here is i owe over $10.000 on a truck that i was told is it's not safe to drive, but nobody want to fix someone screw up. i'm wondering if there any leagal actions i should consider or if somebody can help me resolve this issue. the dealerships name that i bought the truck from is, summit toyota of akron, ohio. thank you for listening. mr.summers
