NHTSA Complaint #11151487 — 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA

HAD TRUCK TOWED DUE TO BROKEN BRAKE LINE AND WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC THAT FRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED WITH HOLES ABOVE FRONT WHEELS AND WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. REAR END ALSO SEVERELY CORRODED. CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALER, NO WARRANTY OR RECALL ON 2006 FRAMES ALTHOUGH TUNDRAS AND TACOMAS OLDER AND NEWER THAN 2006 ARE GETTING WARRANTIED FRAME REPLACEMENTS DUE TO RECALLS. DEALER WENT TO THE GARAGE THAT HAD TOWED THE TRUCK AND INSPECTED THE FRAME. DEALER ADVISED US TO GET HOLES IN FRAME FIXED AT OUR EXPENSE. DEALER VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL TO SPRAY FRAMES, BUT THE SPRAY HAD LIMITED AVAILABILITY FROM TOYOTA AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FULFILL THE RECALL WHEN WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVABLE FOR MANY MORE. WE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA USA ON 11/14/2018, COMPLAINT# 181 114 1536 AND ARE NEXT ENTERING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NH ATTORNEY GENERAL.
