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 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE DURING A FIVE MILE TRIP TO WORK AND IS STILL ON. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REVEALED A FAULT IN AN AIR VALVE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AS MY TUNDRA. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT THE REPAIR PROCESS AS I WAS WITHIN THE 10 YEAR/150K MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. THEY STATED THE PART WAS REPLACED IN 2014. I WAS THEN DIRECTED TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THE PART WAS ALREADY REPLACED. I DO NOT HAVE FAITH THAT REPLACING THE PART WILL FIX MY TRUCK IN THE LONG RUN. TOYOTA OBVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED A FAULT WITH THEIR TRUCKS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON A KNOWN BAD PART. BUT, THIS DID NOT FIX THE TRUCK. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS COME BACK AGAIN AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ONLY FOUR YEARS AGO. I BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF I HAVE THE TRUCK FIXED, THE PROBLEM WILL PERSIST EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPLACING THE PART.

THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED THE FRAME ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS EXCESSIVE RUST AND HAS HOLES IN IT. THEY TOLD ME ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE FRAME COULD CRUMBLE IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT, AND STATED THE FRAME WOULD QUALIFY FOR A FULL FRAME REPLACEMENT IF TOYOTA WOULD RECALL IT. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY AREN'T GOING TO STAND BEHIND IT AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY COMPONENT. THIS IS QUITE FRUSTRATING AS THE BODY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO RUST, THE MOTOR HAS ONLY 91,000 MILES ON IT AND RUNS LIKE A GEM, NO LEAKS OR DRIPS, AND THE REST OF THE UNDER BODY HAS ONLY MINIMAL RUST. HOW CAN THE FRAME LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN SITTING IN THE BACK FIELD FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS AND THE REST OF THE TRUCK LOOK NEXT TO NEW, AND FOR TOYOTA NOT CONSIDER THE FRAME FAULTY?

MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS RECALLED FOR RUST PROBLEMS, AND IN 2013 THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP APPLIED A COATING TO THE FRAME WHICH THEY ADVISED WOULD REMEDY THE PROBLEM. ON 06/01/18 I NOTICED I HOWEVER HAVE HOLES IN MY FRAME NEAR WHERE THE SUSPENSION ATTACHES, AND THE FRAME IS NOT SAFE FOR OPERATION ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE NOT LIABLE, AND I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT LIABLE AND NO ONE WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE OPTION IN 2013 TO EITHER SPRAY OR REPLACE THE FRAME, THEY SPRAYED MINE BUT IT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE AND NOW I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS A HAZARD DUE TO HOLES IN THE FRAME. I ONLY HAVE 118,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND IT HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE BEING BRAND NEW. I BELIEVE THE FRAME IS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA INC. IS NOT ASSISTING ME WITH FIXING THE PROBLEM, THEY ADVISED ME I NEED TO GO TALK TO A BODY SHOP TO SEE IF THEY CAN WELD A PIECE INTO THE FRAME.

WHEELS
DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE STEEL WHEELS RETAIN WATER BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN. AS A RESULT, THERE IS CORROSION/RUST WITHIN THE WHEESL AND AT THE BASE OF THE VALVE STEMS. THIS DEFECT IS NOW ALLOWING AIR TO LEAK FROM THE BASES OF THE VALVE STEMS. ACCORDING TO BOCH TOYOTA AS WELL AS TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THIS IS A RARE PROBLEM. TOWN FAIR TIRE AND THE INTERNET INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.
