Owner Complaints (12)
Your truck's frame has developed significant rust that a mechanic has determined makes it unsafe to drive. You may be aware of a Toyota recall (BXD, NHTSA #09V444) that could address this issue, but Toyota has informed you the recall period has expired and the dealer has declined to repair it. A mechanic's assessment of frame rust is a serious structural concern that affects your vehicle's safety and integrity. Addressing frame rust typically involves either professional rust treatment and repair or frame replacement, depending on the extent of the damage.

Discovered that Toyota tundra and other models possible use of defective product of airbag srs system, basis of preceding years and following years of producing models and other plants supply house. I am seeking replacement parts for airbags components and sensors and clockspring and repairs. Only had two warrant issues up to this date. Trailer towing package and high altitude air flow/ throttle position sensor. Resolve by manufacturer and dealership. Current affairs of airbag recall list and the accident reports of12/10/2009-2010 show no airbag deployment and were a serious relationship with the owners and the people affected. Research shows takata reviews for further information and details of the products and services for repairs. I have a 2000-2001 tundra and are looking at the possibility of "dummy airbags components" been installed and not working. Further, timing going out on double coil type ignition (original). jumpers to the next firing order coil. I have had to interim operation a single coil, primary, with jumper wire. Thank you very much. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Took the truck to have it checked over and inspection sticker, so I could put it on the road.inspecter said the frame is not safe, he would not put a sticker on it do to the frame. He also said that year was recalled.
TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR FRAME RECALL, HAD SOME RUST CORROSION PUT ON IT. WAS A BAND AID ON THE PROBLEM FRAME IS RUSTED BADLY AS WELL AS SUSPENSION PARTS.
MY 2000 TOYOTA 4X4 FRAME HAS RUST HOLES IN IT. IT WAS SPRAY COATED IN 2011 BUT THAT DID NOT STOP THE RUST. TOYOTA CO. TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS CLOSED IN 2012. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2013. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE TOYOTA CO. SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED. I HAVE PHOTOS TO SHOW THE HOLES.
THE FRAME HAS DEVELOPED RUST HOLES LARGER THAN QUARTER SIZED IN MULTIPLE PLACES.
I HAVE RUST HOLES IN THE FRONT SECTION OF MY TRUCK FRAME. TOYOTA REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ONLY APPEAR TO COVER THE REAR PART OF THE FRAME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND COULD CAUSE A LIFE SAFETY CONDITION WHEN THE FRAME FAILS.
MY WIFE AND I SEEN THIS TRUCK FOR SALE AT DEL TOYOTA THORNDALE PA. THE INSPECTION WOULD EXPIRE SOON. WE TOOK IT TO GET INSPECTED , THE MAN SAID IT HAS RUST HOLES IN FRAME AND NOT SAFE APRIL 18 2016 . WE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT A RECALL , I AM PRETTY SURE DEL TOYOTA OF THORNDALE PA DIDAND DOES. I WAS WONDERING HOW THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH PUTTING OUR LIVES IN DANGER ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE'S.
TOYOTA HAS 3 RECALLS ON MY TACOMA. ONE OF THEM INCLUDE CORROSION ON THE FRAME. HOWEVER IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE CORROSION IS NOT AT THE RIGHT SPOT. THE ORIGINAL REPORT HAS THE CORROSION AT THE FRONT WITH AN OPENING IN THE FRAME. NOW THE CORROSION HAS SPREAD TO THE REAR WHERE THE RECALL SHOULD COVER. HOWEVER, TOYOTA HAS STUCK WITH THEIR DECISION TO NOT COMPLETE A RECALL. THE FRAME IS NOW VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL NOT EVEN PASS AN INSPECTION. I HAVE NOT TAKEN PICTURES YET BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS PARKED 2 COUNTY'S AWAY. I PLAN TO GO N SUNDAY WITH OTHERS TO TAKE THESE PICTURES SO I CAN SUBMIT HERE AGAIN, TO THE US DOT, AND TO TOYOTA AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME, ANYONE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPORTING IT. THE INSPECTORS TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE HAD MY KIDS WITH ME IN THIS TRUCK AS WELL. NOT SURE WHEN IT STARTED, BUT IN 2 YEARS, THE CORROSION HAS SPREAD FAST AND THIS IS IN NORTH CAROLINA. I PUT THE INSPECTION DATE AS THE DATE IT WAS FOUND BELOW.
THE PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT,I WAS TOLD NO RECALL . I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND A LOCAL DEALER IRA TOYOTA LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS SAFE. THEIR CASE # 1002142135. THE RUST IS NOW TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE HOLES IN THE BED SUPPORTS. THE SCALE FALLS OFF IN PIECES AS BIG AS 4 INCHES BY 4 INCHES.
