My frame is rotting, with literal holes in it. I spoke with a dealership and they stated the recall had been fixed in 2015, prior to me owning it. I was told to contact the manufacturer and they said it would be an out of pocket expense. When I research the recall, the affected area of the frame is the same, with no apparent fixes.
Frame rust is so extreme that rear suspension mounts are completely disconnected from frame
The frame on my 2006 Toyota Tundra SR5 has severe corrosion and multiple areas of rust perforation despite being treated under Toyota’s Limited Service Campaign D0D in 2015. During that campaign, the dealer removed the bed, documented active rust on the frame, cleaned it, and applied Corrosion-Resistant Compound (CRC) to key areas as the preventative remedy. As documented in multiple repairs the corrosion was already advancing at the time the CRC was applied, the steering shaft boot was replaced the same day as the compound was put on at 93,822 miles, several other critical safety failure shortly after; the brake pivots seized at 94900, Rotors rust pitted at 99537, bumper had perforations at 109407, 1 brake line from master cylinder and 1 brake line from ABS actuator leaking near the junction block on L/S of the frame at 113422, 52 days later the shift cable was broken at 114904. The...
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the steering wheel vibrated abnormally, and the steering wheel was difficult to hold steady. The contact stated that extra effort was needed to secure the steering wheel while depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the TPMS was providing erroneous operating information and alerts. The contact inspected the vehicle and became aware that the cross member near the steering rack had a fractured in the frame. The vehicle was taken to a Toyota Collision Center, where a mechanic determined that the entire sub frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the Toyota Collision Center for assistance. The manufacturer opened a case for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 148,857.
My 2006 tundra has major rust on the frame to the point it isn't safe to drive anymore. I have reached out to Toyota and my local dealer and have received the same answer from both saying its not something that Toyota will cover, despite the fact that there was a national safety recall that started in 2016 for rust related issues.
The truck as a whole is in immaculate condition with absolutely no other issues other than the frame is completely rotting away. Holes on multiple pieces of the frame well above the six of a quarter.
On April 6, 2024 I was driving my 2006 Toyota Tundra when the brakes gave out and the vehicle went through the back wall of my garage. The brake fluid spilled onto the street and onto my driveway. There are 3 witnesses to this including a police officer. I am lucky that I was not a highway when this happened. I had the Tundra towed to a repair garage and they put it on a hoist. Two mechanics showed me the underside which is completely rusted , including some holes. They told me I would have continuous problems because of the rust. They also said that Toyota may have had a recall for my vehicle. I did the research and found that to be accurate. The recall includes millions Toyotas, including my Toyota Tundra, built between 2004 and 2008. So mine is eligible. However, Toyota did not contact me about...
06 Toyota Tundra SR5 with has severe frame rusting, to the point the truck has became a safety hazard. I tried to take the truck in for a Fluid Film coating and/or a Ziebart coating, and they both said I shouldn't even bother. Hundreds of thousands of these trucks all had frame issues, and Toyota should step up to the plate and fix them.
Frame has snapped after being denied a replacement by Toyota under their extended service campaign for frame issues. Dealer told customer to make a separate appointment for frame inspection while truck was in for unrelated service and campaign had expired while customer was in hospital ultimately ending with Toyota denying a replacement citing that customer was outside of date for service campaign.
I took the vehicle in for routine oil change. The technician advised on his notes: " Safety hazard: there is very bad rust on the frame of this truck. The sway bar and engine mount looks like it could break free at any time" I then took the vehicle to my Toyota dealer who inspected the frame and advised they couldn't fix it and they did not recommend driving it due to the rusted frame.
I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra SR 5 with only 88330 miles. I had it inspected yesterday and was told that the truck may not pass next year due to the known issue of undercarriage rust. I had checked into this with Toyota in the past and was told that my particular truck was not covered by the recall for this rust issue. I am not sure why or how my truck was excluded from the safety recall but believe it was, and for me, still is an issue that needs to be addressed. The truck is in otherwise beautiful condition with an intact gold paint job and matching Leer camper shell. In fact I get a lot of compliments and believe that it would be also in Toyota's interest to keep this classic on the road. I am hoping that they will work with me in this regard. Thank...
Hi, I have a 2005 Toyota tundra with 115,000 miles on it. I took it to my mechanic because of the rust underneath basically my frame and the mechanic looked at it and said it was rusting out so bad it was too dangerous to drive, I called Toyota and they said they had a recall on it and sprayed it that was back in 2014 here it is 2023 and I am afraid to drive it because it could cause a terrible accident for me or somebody else again my mechanic said it’s too dangerous to drive Since Toyota will not do anything I am turning to you. Hopefully you can help me. Thank you very much [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Good afternoon, my name is Anthony Eakins, and I live in south west Florida. I have a 2006 Toyota tundra and I absolutely love my truck I believe this is one of the best trucks on the road even though it was built in 2006 (275,000 miles) The issue I'm having is my frame is to the point where I will have to get rid of my truck. The other issue is the frame is so bad I can't even sell my truck. I know there was a recall several years back and I'm curious why my truck is not part of this recall. My truck is rusting right above the rear leaf spring shackles and right at the bend by the motor. I have taken extremely good care of this truck it stays in my garage and the frame has been sprayed with under coating professionally every two years....
My Toyota Tundra has extensive rust damage due to rust and it’s sway at has come completely disconnected from frame. Also there are at least other significant rust issues with the frame that make this truck unsafe.
My ruck was recalledseveral years agofor the frame. To correct this issuea toyota dealer spray the frame.this did not stop the frame from rusting.a lot of other people I talked to said their frames replaced with no questions asked. But not mine.when I talked toyota for the new england territory, I was just given a run around. And nothing was done. There have been other recalls such as the air bag recall Iam not sure that was done correctly. Recently I took my toyota to toyota of Keene NH. I was told that they found other issues like the yransfer case was cracked in half. And there was a priblem with the head lights. Yes I can see there was a problem with the lights, someone at toyota service did not plug them backin after they checked them. I had to move the battery to get at the head light...
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while doing a routine tire check underneath the vehicle, the contact noticed that there was corrosion under the rear driver’s side of the subframe. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer stated there was a hole in the rear driver’s side mount. The contact was informed that the fuel strap mount on the front driver’s side and rear fuel tank was corroded, and that the truck bed was also rusted. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no assistance. The manufacturer filed a case. The failure mileage was 199,884.
Failure of truck frame even though frame protection was applied by dealer.
Toyota has been aware of rust problems on the first generation Tundra frames, but only put out a recall for the 2000-2003 model years. My 2006 has had some weak spots patched, however the frame broke in one spot due to the rusting out issue that Toyota should be aware of.
The bed of the truck rots out around where it is bolted to the frame. It is a common problem with Toyotas. The bed could collapse down and possibly come off. If this happens on the road it could cause a sever accident. Also the frame on Toyotas rot . If it rots by spring hangers this can be carastrofic.toyota has issued a frame recall on this. I had mine undercoated in 2015 from an authorized Toyota dealer. I was told I had a life time warranty if done by Toyota . The frame is not rotting as well as the bed. I was told it isn't going to be warrantied. Toyota should stand behind they're products.
Purchased used 2006 Toyota Tundra in May 2021. Upon bringing vehicle to Toyota dealer for inspection mechanic informed me that the frame had rust perforations and was unsafe to drive. The condition was not fixed due to exorbitant cost and I was not able to pass inspection.
My front stabilizer bar broke off from the frame the frame is rusting through in several places. I found this when my power steering started making noise and I was losing fluids took it to mechanic and a line on my rack and pinion had started leaking could not get just the line had to buy the whole rack and pinion when he was replacing it he found the stabilizer bar had broke loose from the frame the mechanic said I needed to get in touch with Toyota for a fix
during inspection of noise spring hanger was detached frame severely rotted
Heard some noise coming from the front left side of the truck. I parked it, took a look and noticed that the entire frame is completely rusted out with the front left wheel area with the most rust. The frame itself may break apart at any moment.
Excessive frame rust penetration. Informed vehicle is unsafe to drive.
In 2014 Toyota had a recall on the frame rusting issue. I had Toyota of Hanover Pa review the truck frame and they said it didn't meet the requirement for a frame replacement and they applied under coating. Now in 2021 the frame is starting to show signs of rust along the main frame beside the fuel tank when I had the vehicle in for inspection. I was a little confused sense it was undercoated but then reading more about the undercoating it may have made it worse by holding the moisture in and making it rust. I contacted Toyota to see if they would replace and or help me with the cost in replacing the frame since the truck is in excellent shape with 114k. And there response was NO the recall has expired and we can not do nothing. I priced a frame replacement and its over 11k....
The frame of truck is rusted very bad. The frame part where the tire spare is being held in place is rusted to the point that when you touch it, it crumbles into pieces of rusted metal. One side of the frame that holds the spare tire is almost completely gone. I feel like if I hit big bump the spare wheel would fall out and hit someone. My Toyota Tundra is a 2006, I know there was a recall for earlier model of my Tundra for the same rusted frame problem. But for some reason the 2006 was never recall even though I seen a lot of people having the same safety issue.
The truck has bad frame with many holes! The rusted frame! Affecting the suspension and many others parts of the truck the front driver side frame it’s broken! I took the truck to Toyota dealer in Dalton Georgia and. So they refusing to do the job and they sent me back with the same problem problem they took pictures of the frame the guy that That take care of me told me that it truck is not safe for driving!
The frame on the truck is starting to show holes and I am wondering about the stability of the frame lasting I am in New York state and this is the issue with the climate
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while performing an oil change, he discovered that the sub-frame was rusted. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.
MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS JUST SERVICED AT REPUTABLE MECHANIC AND ALERTED ME TO THE RUST HOLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING BRACKET. ADDITIONALLY, THE FRAME IS SEPARATING FROM THE TRUCK DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE RUST. THE FRAME IS DEFOLIATING IN SHEETS OF RUST, VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONSISTENCY OF SHALE. CONTACTED CORPORATE TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. CASE WAS PUSHED TO A SENIOR MANAGER AND FINALLY RECEIVED A RETURN CALL 13 DAYS LATER. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD WARRANT A FRAME REPLACEMENT BASED ON THE AGE OF MY VEHICLE, THE MILEAGE (248,000) MILES, AND NO CURRENT RECALLS. I FIND THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA IS A COMPANY I THOUGHT WAS BASED ON 'PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY', BUT I GUESS IT'S NOT. I RECEIVED THE CAMPAIGN TO BATTLE THE RUSTY FRAMES BACK IN 2014 AND WAS PROACTIVE AND COMPLETED THAT AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE UNDERCOATING WHICH...
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, FELT A AND HEARD A BUMP (NO BUMPS IN ROAD) AND LOST MOST STEERING CAPABILITIES. AFTER PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD. I NOTICED TIRES WERE POINTED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE VEHICLE, I COULD SEE LARGE RUST HOLES IN THE FRAME AND THE RACK WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE FRAME UNDER RECALL IN 2015 AND SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND PAINTED ONLY THE REAR PORTION OF THE FRAME WITH AN ANTI CORROSION PAINT WHICH HAS NOW ALSO RUSTED AWAY. I BELIEVE THE FRAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL RECALL INSTEAD OF COVERING WITH PAINT THAT DID NOT DO THE JOB.
I'VE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR A YEAR BOUGHT ON DEC 2019 3RD OWNER. I SEE THAT MINES NOT LISTED AS RECALLED FOR FRAME RUST BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY WHEN THE GAS TANK LOOKS LIKE IT GOING TO FALL OFF AND SEEMS ONLY CRITICAL SECTIONS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED LIKE THE GAS TANK AND WHERE THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER SITS. I COULD ONLY SEE THESE SPOTS NOW BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD TO SPOT PLACES WHERE THE FRAME JOINS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER LEARNING OF A RECALL INVOLVING RUST ON SIMILAR VEHICLE'S, HE DECIDED TO INSPECT HIS VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME NEAR THE REAR SUSPENSION HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE NEITHER THE VIN NOR THE MODEL YEAR WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.
WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST WAS SO BAD ON THE FRAME THAT I COULD NOT SAFELY DRIVE IT. WAS INFORMED BY REPAIR SHOP THAT THEY HAVE HAD OVER 20 VEHICLES YEARS 05-06 WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WITH FRAMES FALLING APART LIKE MINE?? WHY HASN'T ANYONE NOTICED THIS OR DONE SOMETHING? THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT, ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, ALL MAINTENANCE REMAINED UP TO DATE, ONLY 109,000 MILES AND FRAME FALLING APART!! WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER IN AUGUST AND WAS MADE TO BELIEVE IT WAS ONLY SMALL HOLE.PASSED INSPECTION IN JANUARY 20020. THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAS NOT PRESENT FOR YEARS!!! BUT TOYOTA NEVER MENTIONED UNTIL AUGUST 2020, WHEN THEY SAW SMALL HOLE IN FRAME, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ROAD!!! . SO, WHY IS TOYOTA ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO BE DRIVEN ? WHY ARE...
RUSTED FRAME
MY VEHICLE RECENTLY FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME RUST IN THE REAR AND POSSIBLY IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I PREVIOUSLY HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO INSPECT THE FRAME DURING A RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 196,000 MILES AND SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. BUT IT IS USELESS NOW AND THE FRAME RUST PROBLEMS OF THESE MODELS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FRAME SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAST THE DURATION OF THE VEHICLE AND TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME SUPPORT THAT HOLDS THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR FRACTURED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. HOSELTON TOYOTA LOCATED AT 50 MARSH RD, EAST ROCHESTER, NY 14445, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.
FRAME IS RUSTING AWAY IN DIFFERENT AREAS. CANNOT ATTACH A TOW HITCH SINCE THE RUST IS MAKING THE WHOLE TAIL END BRITTLE. DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ENTIRE FRAME WILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR RECENTLY BUT IT WAS USED UP UNTIL 2016 IN NORTH STATES WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE. *TR
HANDED DOWN 2006 TUNDRA TO MY SON, HE TOOK IT IN FOR SMALL LEAK AND THE MECHANIC SAID FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BAD THERE WERE HOLES IN IT!! WE HAD THE "RECALL" WORK DONE IN 2015. WE WERE NEVER OFFERED A NEW FRAME, THEY SAID WE ONLY NEEDED THE SPRAY. NOW 5 YRS LATER WE CAN'T EVEN LET OUR SON DRIVE HIS OWN TRUCK!! IT HAS 230,000 MILES. STILL ALOT OF MILES LEFT AND THE BODY HAS SOME MINOR BLEMISHES BUT IN GOOD CONDITION. DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES RIGHT NOW, JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. CALLED TOYOTA RESOLUTION LINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO!! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS BC WE DID WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AND THEY AREN'T EVEN LIVING UP TO THEIR OWN "FIX"!! CANNOT AFFORD A NEW FRAME FOR MY SON RIGHT NOW! NEED HELP OR GUIDANCE WITH THIS! *TR
ANTI RUST COATING WAS APPLIED IN 2016 AS PART OF A RECALL- COATING WAS NOT PROPERLY APPLIED AND MOISTURE GOT UNDERNEATH. NOW, 2020, MOST OF THE COATING HAS PEELED OFF, REVEALING A 3 INCH HOLE IN MY FRAME AND A COMEPLETLEY BROKEN CROSS MEMBER NEAR THE GAS TANK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT ROYOTA WOULD COVER UP THIS PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND NOT REPLACE ALL FRAMES. THIS IS NOT SAFE. MY TRUCK RUNS AMAZING, AND ONLY HAS 105000 MILES ON IT. I EXPECT SOMETHING TO BE DONE!
3 INCH HOLE IN FRAME NEAR REAR WHEEL, AND CRACKED CROSS MEMBER. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 105000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST PURCHASED USED FROM DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. FRAME HAS BEEN UNDER COATED AND THIS STILL HAS HAPPENED.
I HAVE A ROTTING FRAME EVEN AFTER THE CRC TREATMENT WAS APPLIED FROM TOYOTA. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THE FRAME RUST ISSUE BUT IT ONLY LOCKS IN THE MOISTURE AND CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THE FRAME REPLACEMENT DUE TO THIS CRC APPLICATION EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY TOYOTA TUNDRAS, TACOMAS, AND SEQUOIAS DRIVING AROUND WITH FRAMES FALLING APART. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALSO FOR OTHER MOTORISTS.
ROCKER PANELS UNDER THE DOORS ROTTED OUT VERY FAST. THE FACTORY BED LINER ALSO CAUSED PREMATURE RUST HOLES TO FORM IN THE BOX. DEBRIS CAN NOW FALL OUT OF THE BOX FROM THESE WHEN IN TRANSIT.
FRAME RUSTED, TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE. NEVER SENT ME INSPECTION NOTICE, THEY SAY I MISSED MY OPPORTUNITY. NOT HAPPY, DISABLED AND ONLY TRANSPORTATION. COVERED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.
SEVERE RUST CORROSION IN ONE SPOT OF FRAME ON DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY MAINTENANCE MECHANIC AND HE BROUGHT ME IN TO SEE IT MYSELF WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UP ON THE LIFT.
THE FRAME ON THIS 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF MAKING THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS DEGRADATION HAS HAPPENED FAR SOONER THAN THE EXPECTED RETIREMENT AGE FOR THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS NOT INCLUDED THIS FRAME AS PART OF IT'S FRAME ROT RECALL WHICH APPLIES TO MANY OTHER FRAMES FROM SIMILAR YEARS.
THIS VEHICLE HAD THE FRAME RECALL DONE BY A LOCAL DEALER - TOYOTA OF NASHUA IN NASHUA, NH - AND THE DEALER PERFORMED THE UNDERCOATING REMEDY POORLY, AND NOT PER THE GUIDELINES OF THE RECALL. WITHIN A YEAR THE UNDERCOATING STARTED FLAKING OFF, AND I NOW HAVE A 2-3" HOLE IN THE FRAME, CAUSED BY RUST. RECALL UNDERCOATING WAS DONE IN 2014. DEALER IS TELLING ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, TOYOTA IS TELLING ME THE SAME THING. THEY'RE LETTING ME DEAL WITH MY OWN RUSTED FRAME THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT RUST ACCUMULATION ON THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE RUST UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE AND WARNED THE CONTACT THAT IT COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIAL SAFETY DEFECT. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH WAITE TOYOTA (18406 US-11, WATERTOWN, NY 13601) AND THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.
2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA PURCHASED NEW FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN CENTRAL PA; ONE OWNER. CUSTOMER PURCHASED DEALER OFFERED UNDERCOATING DUE TO KNOWN CLIMATE CONDITIONS OF CENTRAL PA IN ORDER TO PREVENT UNDERCARRIAGE CORROSION. SAME DEALERSHIP (UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP) CARRIED OUT CORROSION INSPECTION CAMPAIGN IN 2015; DEALER CONCLUSION-APPLY ADDITIONAL CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND TO FRAME (DID THEY ACTUALLY APPLY ANYTHING?). PA INSPECTION AT INDEPENDENT GARAGE IN 2019 FAILED FOR FRAME CORROSION (BUT NO PERFORATIONS?). VEHICLE TAKEN TO PLACE OF PURCHASE TO REPEAT INSPECTION; DEALERSHIP ALSO FAILED VEHICLE FOR PA INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME CORROSION; SUGGESTED SENDING IT TO ADDITIONAL TOYOTA DEALERS FOR ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS AND TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE. (NOTE-FAILED AREAS AND OTHER INSPECTION AREAS ARE NOW COMPLETELY DEVOID OF CORROSION PROTECTION DUE TO REMOVAL BY INSPECTION MECHANICS). CALLED TOYOTA CORP., THEY CAN'T/WON'T HELP. SUPERVISOR TO CALL BACK. SO FAR, TOYOTA WILL NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THERE ARE 100 YEAR OLD FORD MODEL T'S...
MY 2006 TUNDRA HAS A HOLE IN THE FRAME DUE TO RUSTING OUT WHICH HAS MADE THE PASSENGER SIDE SWAY BAR TO COME DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. TOYOTA ADVISED ME THIS MODEL YEAR IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL FOR THE KNOWN FRAME RUST ISSUE WITH TOYOTA TRUCKS AND REFUSES TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE WHEN TOYOTA IS FULLY AWARE OF THE FRAME ISSUE. TOYOTA CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
