2001 Toyota Tundra Other Problems

Your truck has developed extensive rust on the frame. You're aware that there's a recall on this model and year for this issue. Frame rust can affect structural integrity and should be addressed to prevent further deterioration.

Your truck's frame has rusted completely through, requiring replacement at a cost of over $9,200. Toyota issued a recall years ago for known rust problems on Tundras and undercoated your truck with a one-year warranty, but the treatment didn't prevent the damage. Fixing this will require removing and replacing the damaged frame sections.

WE HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2001 WENT TO GET IT INSPECTED AND IT FAILED DUE TO THE FRAME BEING RUSTED WE THEN CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD US THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH IT FRAME WAS RECALLED WE TOLD THEM WE DIDN'T GET ANY RECALL LETTER SO WE ARE JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT ALL THIS THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FRAME WELL WE COULDN'T FIX IT ANY SOONER BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS RECALLED

FRAME ON MY VEHICLE IS RUSTED THROUGH. TOOK TO WILDE TOYOTA IN WEST ALLIS, WI. TECHNICIAN INSPECTED FRAME AND CONCLUDED "FRAME RUSTED THRU - NOT SAFE" . NO OTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN BY DEALER.

THE FRAME WAS PART OF A RECALL, NOW TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY THEM $850 FOR PARTS THEY NEED TO CUT OFF IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE FRAME.

TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR FRAME RECALL. THEY SAID FRAME WAS FINE AND JUST NEEDED A REAR CROSS MEMBER. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WILL CLEAN ALL RUST OFF FRAME AND PUT PROTECTIVE COATING ON IT. INDEED THEY DID BUT DID NOT CLEAN ANY RUST OFF. AND THAT MEANS THIS UNDERCOATING WILL BE OFF IN LESS THEN 6 MONTHS. WHERE THERE WAS HEAVY RUST SCALING AND ALL OTHER RUST. THEY JUST SPRAYED OVER THE TOP OF THE RUST AND MISSED MANY SPOTS. WHEN I GOT HOME AND INSPECTED. THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FRAME I CAN STICK MY HAND IN. I AM DUMB FOUNDED HOW THIS WAS MISSED. OR MAYBE IT WAS MENT TO BE MISSED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE FRAME. FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED UNDER RECALL PLANE AND SIMPLE. THE PICTURES TELL THE WHOLE STORY. THE FRAME IS 100% CLEARLY WITHOUT A DOUBT ROTTED THROUGH. THE BODY ON THE TRUCK IS NEAR MINT WITH NO ROT OR RUST. AND JUST A FEW LITTLE DINGS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE RECALL IN PLACE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN METRO TOYOTA OF CLEVELAND.

THE FRAME IS THE FIRST MENTIONED IN RECALL WITH SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS..... MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOST WITH PERFORATION IN SAID FRAME BUT WAS TOLD IT DIDNT ME SUPPLEMENTAL CONDITIONS. *TR

THE ANTENNA ON THE VEHICLE DISTRACTED THE DRIVER AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CONSUMER NEARLY HAD A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *NLM
