It's possible that your truck was not one of the VIN#s that Toyota has warrantied, although I would think they would be willing to take a look at any Tacoma that falls into the timeframe (1995-2004).When I first called the dealership to inquire about it, they also told me that "the program had ended", but when I called Toyota Corporate, different story.
Good that you got your money back, still a crappy situation though. Good luck finding something else.
For nearly ten years Toyota was pumping out defective frames on the Toyota Tacoma pick-up trucks. The frames were substandard materials. One would consider Toyota noble to 'By Back' the defective trucks, however, it was the way they have gone about it, that is far less than noble. As a matter of fact, I doubt if there is a head count as to the number of dead Americans there are due to this substandard manufacturing method.
