2006 Toyota Tundra Body & Structure Problems

Your 2006 Tundra has developed severe rust on the frame that makes it unsafe to drive. You've contacted Toyota and your dealer about warranty coverage, but both declined, even though a national safety recall for rust-related issues began in 2016. Addressing this level of frame rust typically requires professional inspection and potentially frame repair or replacement, depending on the extent of the damage.

Your truck's frame is severely rusted with multiple large holes throughout various sections, well beyond normal wear. This is a serious structural integrity issue that affects the safety and durability of your vehicle. Frame repair or replacement would likely involve professional welding, cutting out rusted sections, and potentially reinforcing or replacing large portions of the frame structure.

Your brakes completely failed while driving, causing your truck to crash through your garage wall. Brake fluid spilled out, and mechanics found extensive rust and holes underneath your vehicle. Your truck is eligible for a Toyota recall for frame rust that affects millions of Toyotas from 2004-2008, but Toyota never notified you about it—even though they had your contact information from another recall letter. Addressing this will require frame rust inspection, possible frame replacement or repair, and brake system service to restore safe braking function.

Your truck's frame is rusting and has developed holes in it. Even though a recall was supposedly completed in 2015 before you owned the vehicle, the affected area appears to have the same rust problem with no visible repairs. Toyota has indicated this would be an out-of-pocket repair for you. Fixing this will likely require frame repair, reinforcement, or replacement of the affected section.

Your truck's frame has developed significant rust, which you believe is related to a recall repair that was performed previously but didn't solve the problem. You contacted your dealer about the issue, but they didn't diagnose or repair it, and the manufacturer has been notified. This was discovered at around 200,000 miles.

Your steering wheel vibrates abnormally and becomes hard to control when you press the brake pedal, requiring extra effort to keep it steady. You may also notice your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) giving incorrect readings or alerts. A Toyota dealer found that the cross member near the steering rack has a crack in the frame, and the entire sub-frame will need to be replaced to fix these issues.

Your 2006 Tundra's frame has developed severe rust that has become a safety concern. Multiple rust prevention specialists refused to treat it, indicating the damage is extensive. This appears to be a widespread issue affecting many trucks from this model year, and the owner believes Toyota should provide a remedy.

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 you in advance.

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.

Excessive frame rust penetration. Informed vehicle is unsafe to drive.

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.

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.

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 THEY NOT MENTIONING FRAME ISSUES? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?? I SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD RECALLS FOR OTHER VEHICLES EXCEPT, BY MY UNDERSTANDING, 05-06 TOYOTA TUNDRAS, FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT! ALL THE PICTURES I VIEWED ONLINE OF OTHER SIMILAR FRAME ISSUES ON THESE MODELS MATCHED MINE EXACTLY! SO, THERE'S A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE! PLEASE HELP!

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.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

I HAVE A LOT OF FRAME RUST. I HAVE READ THAT MANY HAVE SAME ISSUE. NO ONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FRAMES HAVE RUSTED COMPLETELY AND ARE NOT USABLE. *TR

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.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RUSTING FRAME. *LD IN 2015 CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SULLIVAN BROTHERS TOYOTA (KINGSTON, MA) AND THE FRAME WAS SPRAYED WITH RUST INHIBITOR. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER IN DECEMBER 2019 TO HAVE FRAME INSPECTED. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS SOME SURFACE RUST THAT WAS NO THREAT TO VEHICLE. ON 01/06/2020 A BRAKE LINE BROKE AND VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE THE FRAME WAS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH. HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS WIRED TO THE FRAME. CONSUMER SAYS THAT HE WAS NOT INFORMED WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED, BUT DEALER REFERRED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER. MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. *DL

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.

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 ON THE ROAD WITH FRAMES THAT ARE PERFECTLY HEALTHY IN PA, BUT A PIECE OF JUNK MADE IN THE USA (WHICH HAS BEEN LESS THAN USELESS FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS), FOREIGN OWNED CORP.,13 YEAR TOYOTA IS SCRAP!!! OBSOLESCENCE AND SECOND CLASS CITIZENSHIP CONSUMER PRODUCTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND MEANT ONLY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS TO EXPERIENCE! FAILURE AT 106,000 MILES.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION ON THE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DISCOVERED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF RUST, OVER TIME, THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNABLE TO BE PLACED ON A LIFT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT A CORROSION SEALANT WAS PLACED ON THE FRAME; HOWEVER, THE CORROSION OVERPOWERED THE SEALANT APPLICATION. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR RUST UNDERNEATH AND WAS SPRAYED WITH UNDER COATING AT THAT TIME. THERE IS A LOT OF RUST POPPING THROUGH WHERE THE BOLTS HOLD THE BED TO THE FRAME. RUST IS COMING THROUGH SEVERAL PLACES INCLUDING THE BED FRAME BOLTS NEXT TO THE CAB. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT TOYOTA CAN DO, SINCE THIS STARTED WITH A RECALL?

PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED AND WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED BY TOYOTA WHICH FOUND CORROSION AND RUST HOLES IN BOTH CROSS MEMBERS HOLDING THE GAS TANK AND SPARE TIRE. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I WAS TOLD TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE. RECALLS ARE FOR THE 2000-2003 TUNDRA LEAVING THE 2004-2006 OWNERS OUT OF LUCK. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE MODEL YEARS WERE LEFT OUT GIVEN IT'S THE SAME FRAME AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. PLEASE HELP THESE OWNERS.

A FEW YEARS BACK HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR THE FRAME RECALL. UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS QUITE RUSTY AND WAS HOPING FOR A NEW FRAME TO BE PUT ON. INSTEAD, WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FOR MY TRUCK. INSTEAD, THE FRAME WAS TO BE "UNDERCOATED" TO PROTECT THE TRUCK FROM FURTHER RUST. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE CURRENT PROCEDURE FROM TOYOTA, AT THAT TIME, WAS TO ONLY UNDERCOAT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK AND NOT THE ENTIRE FRAME. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE UNDERCOATING ENTIRE FRAME WHICH THEY DID DO. AFTER GETTING TRUCK BACK FROM DEALERSHIP LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT ENTIRE FRAME WAS SPRAYED WITH SOME FORM OF BLACK MATERIAL. NOW THIS UNDERCOATING IS PEELING OFF AND THE FRAME IS RUSTING AGAIN.

63,000 MILES FRAME IS ROTTING OUT

THE FRAME IS ROTTING AWAY, DEALER SPRAYED IT ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, ALMOST ALL OF THAT COATING HAS FALLEN OFF.

JUST HAD TRUCK INSPECTION DONE BY MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THERE IS A PROBLEM STARTING WITH THE FRAME. HE SAID CONTACT TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS A FRAME RECALL. SO I DID THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN CHARGE AND GOT A CALL BACK. WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS SPRAYED WITH THE ANTI CORROSION SPRAY IN 2014. BUT APPARENTLY IT DIDN'T WORK. WHY DID TOYOTA SKIP CERTAIN YEARS OF THE TUNDRA? TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR SEQUOIA AS MY TUNDRA. THEY HAVE THE SAME FRAME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE

TOYOTA FRAME RUST: I WAS INFORMED BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC TODAY THAT MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA WILL NOT PASS VIRGINIA'S YEARLY SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE OF HOLE IN THE FRAME AS A RESULT OF CORROSION. MY TRUCK PARTICIPATED IN TOYOTA'S LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN D0D IN 2014 AND A RUST RESISTANT COATING WAS APPLIED TO COMBAT A KNOWN CORROSION ISSUE WITH THEIR TRUCK FRAMES. I WAS TOLD THE FRAME WAS INSPECTED, FOUND TO BE CLEAN, AND THE COATING APPLIED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU". I HAVE FOUND EXISTING LAWSUITS ADDRESSING THIS EXACT ISSUE ON OTHER TOYOTA MODELS INCLUDING 2007 AND 2008 TUNDRAS. THE SETTLEMENT IN THESE CASES INVOLVE COMPLETE FRAME REPLACEMENT. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, BUT CHOOSING TO DO NOTHING.

TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2016 IMMEDIATE AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED. RUST DAMAGE ON THE FRAME WAS NOT BAD. WE HAD IT UNDERCOATED FOR PROTECTION. NOW THERE ARE RUST HOLES AND TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE FAULTY FRAMES. THE 2006 SEQUOIA FRAMES WERE RECALLED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST, BUT THE TUNDRAS WERE NOT, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME FRAME. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD US THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT AND THEN MARKED OUR VEHICLE AS "UNDRIVEABLE" IN THEIR SYSTEM WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. WE NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS WORTH $0 THAT WAS WORTH $8,500. TOYOTA CORPORATE ALSO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR *TR

UPON FRAME RECALL FOR CORROSION IN 2014, COPELAND INDICATED FRAME WAS "NOT THAT BAD" AND SAID THEY WOULD JUST APPLY CORROSION PROTECTION COATING INSTEAD OF REPLACING FRAME. I TRUSTED AND ACCEPTED THEIR ADVICE. SINCE THEN, TOYOTA FORUMS INDICATE SPRAY ON COATING EXACERBATES CORROSION PROBLEM. COPELAND REPLACED POWER STEERING UNIT LAST YEAR; WHEN I LOOKED UNDER TRUCK TO SEE NEW UNIT, WAS SHOCKED AT CONDITION OF FRAME. NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT I ASKED COPELAND FOR THEIR OPINION ON FRAME CORROSION AND THEY TOLD ME FRAME HAS FAILED. POOR CONDITION OF FRAME WAS OBVIOUS; STABILIZER BAR HAD PULLED OUT OF FRAME. HOW MUCH MORE WORK WOULD THEY HAVE PERFORMED AND CHARGED ME FOR IF I HAD NOT BROUGHT SUBJECT UP?? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! COPELAND SENT ME TO TOYOTA .COM FOR HELP; TOYOTA.COM OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND POINTED FINGER AT COPELAND FOR THEIR DECISION NOT TO REPLACE.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA 4 YEARS AGO THAT MY TUNDRA HAD A POTENTIAL FRAME ISSUE REGARDING RUST. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE INSPECTED- IF FRAME WAS INTACT BUT JUST RUSTED THEY WOULD TREAT IT WITH A COATING , IF IT THERE WERE HOLES IN THE FRAME IT WOULD BE REPLACED. MY TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALER ( BOCH TOYOTA NORWOOD MA) FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I WAS TOLD FRAME INTACT, IT WAS TREATED WITH RUST PROOFING AND COATING. LAST WEEK THE BRAKES FAILED- IT TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE LINE WAS ROTTED THROUGH CAUSING LEAKING OF BRAKE FLUID. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. WHEN HE REPLACED BRAKE LINE HE TOLD ME FRAME WAS ROTTED WITH LARGE HOLES IN SEVERAL AREAS. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER- TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME.

FRAME RUST ON FRONT OF VEHICLE IN THE "CRUMPLE" ZONE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT IT WAS PART OF LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN D0D FOR 2004-2006 TUNDRAS AND THAT A SEALANT WAS APPLIED IN JUNE 2014 AND NO OTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. THESE VEHICLES CLEARLY HAVE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUES DUE TO KNOWN FRAME RUSTING RESULTING FROM A MANUFACTURING DEFICIENCY THAT ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2004-2006 MODEL YEARS JUST LIKE THE 2000-2003 TUNDRA VEHICLES THAT WERE SUBJECT TO FULL RECALL. THE NHTSA SHOULD TAKE ACTION WITH THE 2004-2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA VEHICLES TO ENSURE TOYOTA ADDRESSES THE SAFETY RELATED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY CONCERNS WITH THE FRAMES OF THESE VEHICLES AS THEY HAVE FOR THE 2000-2003 AND 2007-2008 MODEL YEARS.

RUSTING OF FRAME IMPACTS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF VEHICLE. 2004-2006 MODEL YEARS WERE SUBJECT TO A VOLUNTARY LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE HEELS OF A RECALL TO THE 2000-2003 MODEL YEARS. THE LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN IS INEFFECTIVE AT MITIGATING THE SAFETY CONCERN OVER THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE. 2007-2008 ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL AS WELL. NHTSA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS MATTER TO ENSURE TOYOTA RESOLVES THE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH A RUSTING FRAME.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRAME RUSTING ON VEHICLE. *LD *JS

THE 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAD A RECALL ON THE FRAME BECAUSE THE FRAMES WERE COMPROMISED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO ORLEANS TOYOTA AND HAD THE FRAME INSPECTED. THEY SAID THE FRAME WAS NOT RUSTED THAT BAD AND IT COULD BE TREATED, WHICH WAS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COMPROMISE. NOW MY FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW DID THE DEALERSHIP PROPERLY INSPECT A ENCLOSED BOX FRAME? HOW DO YOU TREAT A FRAME MADE OUT OF INFERIOR METAL AND CORRECT THE ISSUE? THE TREATMENT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE RECALL. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA TUNDRAS AT THIS TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK IN TO ORLEANS TOYOTA AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE FRAME. THEY TOOK A PICTURE OF WHERE THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND SENT IT TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS NOT RESPONDED IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. MANY OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAD THE FRAMES TREATED ARE,OR ARE BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

FRAME IS ROTTING OUT

FRAME RUST - I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR FRAME RUST ON MY VEHICLE. IT EFFECTS 90% OF THE FRAME, THE BRAKE LINES, CONTROL ARMS AND EVEN THE ALIGNMENT COMPONENTS.

TOYOTA HAS RECALLED 2000-2003 TUNDRA FRAMES. ALSO TOYOTA HAS NOW HAVE BEEN SUED FOR THE 2005-2007 SEQUOIA FRAMES & AND 2007-2008 TUNDRAS. MY VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL AS WELL!!!

STATE INSPECTION REVEALED RUST PERFORATION OF FRAME, NEAR FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS

I PURCHASED TRUCK USED JUNE 2016..SOMEBODY INFORMED ME LATER THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RUST ISSUE WITH THE FRAMES ON THESE MODELS. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION IT LOOKS LIKE AT SOME POINT SOMEBODY TRIED TO COVER UP WITH UNDER SPRAY. THAT HAS NOT HELD BECAUSE A GOOD PORTION OF FRAME AND CROSS MEMBER HAS RUSTED AWAY. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY GAVE ME TWO CASE NUMBERS AND SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND RECALL EXPIRED. I ASKED DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT FOR RUST IN JANUARY OF 2017 AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOYOTA ISSUE AND TO WAIT. I THINK IT COULD BE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IF TRYING TO PULL TRAILER AND POSSIBLE ANY OTHER TIME..SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPIRATION IN MY OPINION. NOT GOOD FEEDBACK SINCE JANUARY.

TRUCK HAD FRONT GAS TANK STRAP RUST OUT. WENT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD REPAIR COULDN'T BE COMPLETED BECAUSE FRAME HAD RUSTED OUT IN THAT AREA. 2014 TOYOTA HAD A RUST CAMPAIGN AND DEALER APPLIED CORROSION RUST COATING. FRAME STILL RUSTED! WAS INFORMED BY DEALER UNSAFE TO DRIVE. RECALLS ON ALL OTHER YEARS EXCEPT 2006. TRUCK SITS IN DRIVEWAY BASICALLY IS A PILE OF SCRAP. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE RECEIVED CASE #. CASE MANAGER TOLD ME SORRY CANNOT HELP THE RUST COATING WAS A ONE TIME FIX. SO NOW AM STUCK WITH A TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. !!!!THANKS TOYOTA!!!!

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA TELLING ME I NEEDED TO HAVE MY FRAME INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN 2014. I DID THIS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY FRAME WAS FINE. LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT MY FRAME WAS NOT FINE AND URGED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER OR TOYOTA CORPORATE DIRECTLY. I DID SO BUT THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL THAT HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FRAMES HAD EXPIRED. I RECENTLY HAD SOME BRAKE WORK DONE ON THE TRUCK AFTER MY BRAKE LINES BURST. THE SAME MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE FRAME WAS SO BAD THAT HE DID NOT THINK IT WOULD PASS INSPECTION. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE FRAME ANALYZED BY A THIRD PARTY IN HOPES REPAIRS CAN BE MADE SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO BUY A NEW TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS 112000 AND I INTENDED TO PUT MANY MORE MILES ON IT THAN THAT. ALSO RELATED TO THE METAL USED UNDER THAT TRUCK, IN 2014 THE REAR PUMPKIN RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A NEW REAR SUSPENSION PUT IN. FURTHERMORE, I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ZIEBART UNDERCOATING THAT THE DEALER WAS ADVERTISING WHERE FOR THE FIRST 6 YEARS I OWNED THE TRUCK, 2008-2014, I HAD IT UNDERCOATED ONCE EVERY YEAR. THE FACT THAT IT HAD BEEN PROTECTED WITH THE UNDERCOATING THE FIRST 6 YEARS I HAD IT AND THEN 2 YEARS LATER WAS RUSTED THROUGH IS AN INDICATION TO ME THAT THEIR IS SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURES DEFECT. *JS

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK BED STARTED RUSTING SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE RUSTED FRAME BUT NOT THE BED. SURROUNDING METAL AREA SURROUNDING ALL SCREWS THAT HOLD BED ONTO FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED. GOLF BALL SIZE HOLES IN BED AS WELL. RUSTING RAPIDLY. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE, THE RESPONSE WAS, "IF WE FIX IT FOR YOU, WE HAVE TO FIX IT FOR EVERYONE." I DO NOT HAVE THE MONIES TO REPAIR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. SPENT TOO MUCH ON THIS VEHICLE. INSIDE BED LOOKS LIKE THE CURRENT PICTURES OF THETITANIC. I AM AT A COMPLETE LOSS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE SOME BODY WORK DONE ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE BODY SHOP OWNER SAID THAT HE SAW THE FRAME WAS EXTREMELY RUSTY AND IN HIS OPINION WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. HE SAID HE REMEMBERED THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR RUSTY FRAMES PREVIOUSLY BUT HE DID NOT REMEMBER WHAT YEARS AND MODELS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID CONTACT TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED IN JULY OF 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2006 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS. AFTER SPEAKING ON THE PHONE WITH A TOYOTA REPNAD BEING TOLD THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY TRUCK I SENT AN EMAIL TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY STOOD BEHIND THEIR ORIGINAL RESPONSE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY RECALL CAN EXPIRE. THE SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ALWAYS BE THERE UNTIL FIXED. I FEEL I AM NOW DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD STAND BY WHATEVER THE ORIGINAL REMEDY WAS. *TR

IN 2014 RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY FRAME I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLASSIC TOYOTA OF MENTOR OHIO THEY SAID FRAME NEEDED REPLACED SCHEDULED THEM TO DO ALL WORK THEY SAID IT MAY BE A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE FRAMES IN SO I SAID OKAY AND WAITED A FEW MONTHS HADN'T HEARD FROM THEM CALL THEM ASK THEM IF IT CAME IN THEY SAID NO I ASKED THEM IF THERE WAS ANYWAY TO CHECK ON IT THEY SAID NO BUT THE WAIT IS NORMAL AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT GETS THERE SO I WAITED A COUPLE MORE MONTHS CALLED THEM AGAIN AND THE SAME THING SO I WAITED A COUPLE MORE MONTHS CALL THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN SAME THING SO IN FEBRUARY 2016 I CALLED THEM UP GOT THE SAME RESPONSE BY THIS TIME IT HAD BEEN OVER A YEAR SO I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN CALIFORNIA AND ASK THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND IT TURNED OUT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER ORDERED THE FRAME I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH NOW THERE IS A LARGE RUST HOLE THROUGH THE FRAME AND COMPONENTS ARE RUSTING OUT

IT STARTED WITH MY GAS TANK FALLING OFF THE FRAME. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AT THE TIME THE GAS TANK BAND BROKE THAT HOLDS THE GAS TANK TO THE FRAME. I THEN FOUND A HOLE IN THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, JUST IN FRONT OF THE SWAY BAR MOUNT, LARGE ENOUGH TO PLACE MY HAND IN TO THE CENTER OF MY PALM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I THEN CONTACTED MY DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, DOWN EAST TOYOTA OF BREWER, ME. THE LADY I SPOKE WITH (LYNN), FROM DOWN EAST TOYOTA OF BREWER, MAINE, WAS CONDESCENDING AND ARROGANT ELUDING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOMEHOW MY FAULT. I LEARNED FROM HER THAT APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR RUSTED FRAMES. I DO NOT RECALL GETTING THIS RECALL INFORMATION. BUT LET THAT GO, MY DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM (DOWN EAST TOYOTA IN BREWER, MAINE) HAS TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I GOT 10 YEARS FROM THE TRUCK. SINCE THIS IS AS LONG AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST ANYWAYS. MY DEALER (DOWN EAST TOYOTA OF BREWER, MAINE) TOLD ME MY OPTION WAS THAT THEY HAVE A PERSON THAT BUYS USED VEHICLES AND I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM TO SEE WHAT THE JUNK BUYER WOULD GIVE ME FOR MY TRUCK. OR, I COULD PAY TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THIS KIND OF ISSUE, AND THE SAFETY ISSUES RAISED WITH A DAMAGED FRAME, I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION THROUGH REGISTERED MAIL OF THE ISSUE. OR AT LEAST, A FOLLOW UP LETTER TO INSURE THE FIRST NOTICE WAS RECEIVED. AS I SAID, I DO NOT REMEMBER GETTING SUCH NOTIFICATION. I HAVE WRITTEN TO TOYOTA AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK AS OF YET.

JUST BOUGHT MY TUNDRA LOW MILES NICE TRUCK I JUST FOUND A HOLE 1 INCH BY 6 INCH ON MY FRAME BY THE ENGINE MOUNT ON THE RIGHT FRONT

THE FRAME IS RUSTING. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THE NOTICE I RECEIVED WAS FOR AIR BAG ISSUES ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. SO I CALLED CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THE NOTICE ON MY RUST ISSUES EXPIRED JULY OF 2015. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG BUT NOT THE RUST ISSUE? AND NOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT IT AND WANT TO GET IT RESOLVED THEY WONT DO ANYTHING? I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A BALL JOINT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE FRAMES WILL EVENTUALLY RUST APART TIL THE SNAP. ARE WE WAITING FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE? THIS ISN'T SOME SMALL ISSUE, THIS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE VERY WELL. IT GETS ALL THE ROUTINE THINGS DONE AND ONLY A MECHANIC TOUCHES IT, IT IS NEVER WORKED ON AT HOME IN THE GARAGE. I LOVE MY TOYOTA AND I AM VERY SHOCKED THEY HAVEN'T GONE FURTHER TO CORRECT THEIR WRONG. THEY MADE THE MISTAKE AND DIDN'T PROTECT IT NOT ME. I DO EVERYTHING I AM SUPPOSED TO DO TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN TIP TOP CONDITION SO I AM NOT LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE FRAME IS SHOWING MAJOR SIGNS OF RUST. THIS APPARENTLY IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS MATTER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ISSUED A TEMPORARY SERVICE FOR THIS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE SINCE WHENEVER CONPONENTS NEED REPLACING THE BOLTS MUST BE CUT OFF DUE TO RUSTING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL SINCE CERTAIN AREAS ARE THINNING ON THE FRAME.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FEB 2015. WHILE DOING SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IN MAY 2015 TO THE VEHICLE I NOTICED SOME FRAME RUST. WHEN I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK I NOTICED THAT SOME AREAS OF THE FRAME RAILS WHERE PIECES WERE CONNECTED APPEARED TO BE STARTING TO SEPARATE DUE TO RUSTING. I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN ON JUNE 20, 2015 FOR THEM TO HAVE A LOOK. AFTER ONE OF THE TECHS ON SITE LOOKED AT THE TRUCK FRAME HE TOLD HIS MANAGER THAT IF THIS TRUCK CAME INTO THEIR SHOP THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FRAME AS PART OF A RECALL. THE MANAGER TOOK SOME PICTURES AND SAID THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME. AFTER NOT HEARING BACK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE FRAME WAS PREVIOUSLY COATED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING AS PART OF A TOYOTA RECALL FOR RUSTING FRAMES THAT THERE WAS NOT MUCH MORE THEY COULD DO. I THEN OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE DUE TO MY CONCERN OF SAFETY AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DECISION THAT WAS MADE TO TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION ON THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS STILL AND ACTIVE CAMPAIGN. TOYOTA BASICALLY GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE AS THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED IF THEY COULD AT LEAST REVIEW THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SAFE FOR DRIVING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND THE FRAME WAS COATED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING AND THAT WAS BASICALLY THE END OF WHAT THEY COULD OFFER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE FRAME IS OBVIOUSLY STILL RUSTING SO WHATEVER FIX THEY PERFORMED DID NOT WORK. WHETHER IT WAS DONE IMPROPERLY OR PERHAPS NOT THE CORRECT DECISION BASED ON THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST GAVE THIS CASE A SECOND EVALUATION CONSIDERING THAT THE CAMPAIGN WAS STILL ACTIVE WHEN I HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS TRUCK CONSIDERING THAT THE FRAME CONTINUES TO RUST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER AN UNKNOWN RECALL; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED.

THE TRUCK BED IS SHOWING RUST SPOTS WHICH APPARENTLY IS AN ISSUE WITH TUNDRAS. TALKED TO THE DEALER AND TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. *TR

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE INCURRED FRAME RUSTING. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALL FOR FRAME RUSTING. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER PERFORMED THE TREATMENT LAST FEBRUARY. HOWEVER, AN INSPECTION PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT ONLY PART OF THE FRAME HAD BEEN TREATED AND THERE WAS SERIOUS FLAKING/EROSION OF AN UNTREATED PORTION OF THE FRAME. *JB

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE FRAME RUST CORROSION RECALL. CORPORATE GUIDELINES INDICATE THE NECESSITY TO INSPECT, REMOVE THE PICKUP BED, REMOVE ANY RUST AND REINSPECT FOR RUST PERFORATION. CORPORATE ALLOWS 8-9 BILLABLE HOURS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SERVICE. MY VEHICLES SERVICE WAS COMPLETED IN LESS THAN 4. UPON INSPECTION, IT IS APPARENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER REMOVED THE BED NOR REMOVED ANY RUST PRIOR TO SPRAYING THE FRAME WITH ITS "CRC". I HAD DOCUMENTED PHOTOGRAPHS TO PROVE THIS POINT AND THEN CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE. BY TOYOTA CORPORATE'S REQUEST, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION,THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BED WAS NOT REMOVED AND MULTIPLE AREAS OF RUST THAT HAD BEEN LEFT UNTOUCHED. ONLY FURTHER INDICATING THAT IN ADDITION TO NOT REMOVING THE BED, THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT BOTHER TO REMOVE ANY EXISTING RUST FROM THE FRAME EITHER. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO STRIP AND PROPERLY TREAT THE FRAME AS INDICATED BY CORPORATE GUIDELINES. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL ACTIONS. AS IT STANDS, IT IS QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FAILURE HERE. THIS IS NO ISOLATED INCIDENT EITHER, THERE ARE MANY OWNERS WHO ARE BEING DEFRAUDED IN A SIMILAR FASHION. FIVE MINUTES ON GOOGLE WILL EASILY PROVE THIS POINT. AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, TOYOTA SETTLED WITH THE FRAME MANUFACTURER (DANA CORP) FOR AROUND $25 MILLION. SO TOYOTA SOUGHT OUT AND GAINED FINANCIAL REIMBURSEMENT ON THEIR END BUT WHEN IT COME TO TAKING CARE OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, NOT SO MUCH. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE FROM THE NHTSA TO CONTACT ME FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THE MATTER. I HAVE MULTIPLE PHOTOGRAPHS DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE AND THE FAILED ATTEMPT AT COVERING IT UP. *TR

I BROUGHT THE ABOVE VEHICLE TO SUPERIOR TOYOTA OF ERIE, PA THIS MORNING FOR THE RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST, SAME REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WITHOUT ME GIVING THEM A CREDIT CARD, I INFORMED THE CLERK THAT I AM NOT RENTING A CAR FROM YOU - YOU ARE PROVIDING ME A LOANER FOR MY TROUBLE WITH YOUR VEHICLE. I THEN LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME CORROSION OF THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY AND SKID PANS. I'VE HAD A MECHANIC INSPECT THE DAMAGE AND HE CONCURRED THAT THE RUST IS FAR WORSE THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. THE METAL IS PITTED AND FLAKES OF RUST ARE FALLING OFF OF THE REAR AXLE HOUSING. I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BUT THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. FAILURE OF THE REAR AXLE HOUSING POSES A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY RISK. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT AND I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE SALTS ARE USED LIBERALLY DURING THE WINTER. I'VE GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO WASH SALTS OFF MY TRUCK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, YET THE RUST CONTINUES. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO, I COULD NOT OPEN THE TAILGATE OF MY TOYOTA TUNDRA. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE CLIP. TWO MONTHS AGO, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $179 TO FIX IT. I ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A PLASTIC CLIP THAT KEEPS BREAKING. I TOLD THEM THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN IN THE GARAGE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS JUST THE PLASTIC BREAKING. I SAID THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. THEY DIDN'T AGREE. SO I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY FOR IT. THIS CLIP IS ONLY WARRANTEED FOR 1 YEAR. SO THAT MEANS I WILL BE REPLACING IT AGAIN IN A YEAR (ANOTHER $179). THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW TO ME. THE COMPANY SENT OUT A MEMO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 MODELS, BUT NOT 2006. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

IN DECEMBER 2009 WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA, MY WIFE AND I BEGAN TO FEEL A STRANGE MOTION COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK; WHENEVER WE CAME TO A FULL STOP, IT FELT AS IF WE SOMEONE HIT US IN THE REAR OF OUR VEHICLE. DECEMBER 18, 2009 I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SOME TOYOTA VEHICLES AND THEY ADJUSTED CENTER SUPPORT BEARING, REPLACED TRANS MOUNT AND CROSS MEMBER. AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE ON JANUARY 8, 2010 THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON JANUARY 12, 2010 FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER CONTACTED TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND ON FEBRUARY 1, 2010, AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE TO MY VEHICLE; THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO SOME VEHICLES. THE IS YET TO BE CORRECTED. *TR
