I have noticed a significant amount of rust on the frame of my vehicle.

Toyota issued a short term warranty enhancement, expiring march 2018, for a known safety defect. I believe that the potential ramifications are significant and that this should be a recall as opposed to a warranty enhancement. The defect is in the rear window seal and electrical system; use of the defroster can cause the window to blow out. My car has a significant body defect adjacent to the rear window seal, and…
