NHTSA Complaint #10291183 — 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. IT SUFFERS FROM SEVERE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE RUST. THE RUST AND METAL IS LITERALLY FLAKING OFF IN LARGE SHEETS. MY STEERING FLUID LINES CORRODED AND BURST CAUSING LOSS OF FLUID AND POWER STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LAST FALL. THIS SPRING MY RUSTED BRAKE LINE BURST AND CAUSED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. MY WIFE WAS COMING OUT OF A BUSINESS ONTO A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. SHE HAD TO DRIVE IT INTO A DITCH TO AVERT A T-BONE COLLISION ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY. I CAN HEAR UNEXPLAINABLE SOUNDS FROM THE REAR FRAME AREA AND MY CURRENT MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE INSPECTED WHEN DUE. I UNDERSTAND OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE JUST LIKE ME. THE VEHICLE HAS OTHERWISE BEEN MECHANICALLY SOUND. TOYOTA HAS NO RECALL NOTICE AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH THERE PROCESS BEFORE TO NO AVAIL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL INSISTED UPON. *TR
