I HAVE TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO REPLACE MY FRAME FOR ABOUT MAYBE SIX YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN AND HAD THE TREATMENT AROUND THE SPARE TIRE ON THE FRAME TREATED, AND OVER A COUPLE OF YEAR ALL OF THE BLACK COLORED TREATMENT JUST FEEL OFF ON MY DRIVEWAY IN CHARLESTON WV WHERE I LIVED AT THE TIME. I WENT BACK TO LOVE LEXUS AND TOYOTA TO HAVE MY FRAME CHECKED TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPLACE IT ACCORDING TO THE SETTLEMENT OF THE 2000-2003 TUNDRA TRUCKS.LOVES SAID MY FRAME LOOKED OK TO THEM AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT THAT TIME. THIS WAS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. NOW MY LEFT FRONT SIDE OF MY FRAME HAS A HOLE IN THE UNDER NEATH SIDE OF THE FRAME AND THE STRUT BAR IS RIPPING AWAY FROM THE FRAME...I CALLED AND TALKED TO ALEXUS, AND AL , AND A HIGHER UP MAN IN THE COMPANY NAMED ROB, THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME BETTER I.D. THAN THAT, I TOLD HIM THIS STORY AS I'M SURE HIS UNDERLING AL DID, THAT IS WHY ROB CALLED ME ON AUG 22ND AND TOLD ME THERE WERE NO AVENUES THAT HE (ROB) COULD SEE TO HELP ME.THEN I SAID WOULD HE HELP ME TRADE FOR A NEWER TRUCK AND HE (ROB) SAID THAT WOULD BE UP TO ME TO DO. MY TUNDRA IS UNDRIVEABLE AND I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD FIX IT IN THE DEAL THAT WAS MADE FOR THE 2000 TO 2003 TOYOYA TUNDRA TRUCKS. WHAT DO I DO TO GET SOME HELP. WALK TO WHRE I WANT TO GO? I AM ON DISABILITY AND I HAVE VERY BAD CONDITIONS, AND I DON'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO GO BUY A VEHICLE. I THINK IF MY VEHICLE MEETS THEIR SPECS FOR REPAIR MY TRUCK SHOULD BE FIXED!!!! I TRIED TO FIND OUT THE LAWYERS WHO WON OR SETTLED THIS CASE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY HELP IN DOING THIS? HELP FROM TONY OF HUNTINGTON WV. THANK YOU.

IN 2015, MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A TOYOTA RECALL FOR COLD WEATHER VEHICLES, TO UNDERCOAT THE FRAME TO MITIGATE ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS FROM SNOW, ICE AND SALT RUSTING OUT THE FRAME PREMATURELY. I COMPLIED, BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, HERITAGE FORD & TOYOTA, 1620 SHELBURNE RD., SO. BURLINGTON, VT. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS, AND REMOVED THE PICK UP BODY FROM THE VEHICLE AND UNDERCOATED THE FRAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER TO THE REAR OF THE FRAME. THIS PAST TUES.,AUG. 8TH, 2017, I HAD MY VEHICLE AT MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED, AND TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES LOOKED AT. SOON AFTER THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE SERVICE BAY, MY MECHANIC CAME TO ME AND SAID HE HAD SOMETHING TO SHOW ME. THAT'S WHEN HE SHOWED ME THE HOLES ON THE TOP RAIL OF THE FRAME JUST BACK FROM THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS HORRIFIED WHEN MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS CONDITION ESSENTIALLY RENDERED MY VEHICLE UNINSPECTABLE. I WENT BACK TO HERITAGE TOYOTA WHERE I HAD THE UNDERCOATING DONE, AND THEY SAID BASICALLY, SINCE THEY HAD MET THE ORIGINAL CONDITIONS OF THE 2015 RECALL, THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO FOR ME. THEY REFERRED ME TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE TELEPHONE NUMBER. WHEN I CALLED THE CASE WORKER, CHERYL FROM TOYOTA, SHE TOLD ME THE SAME THING THAT HERITAGE TOYOTA HAD TOLD ME, THEY HAD COVERED THEMSELVES BY COMPLETING THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS FOR MY VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. MY CASE # FOR TOYOTA WAS 1708081681. I FEEL THAT EITHER HERITAGE TOYOTA OR TOYOTA MOTOR CORP. ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. HERITAGE, BECAUSE THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS, & THEY COULD HAVE CHECKED THE FRAME IN THE ENGINE WELL AT SOME POINT. AND TOYOTA MOTOR CORP, BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD VERY WELL DOCUMENTED FRAME ISSUES WITH IT'S TRUCKS FOR MANY YEARS.

SUSPENSION
FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE UPPER ARM BOLTS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE FRAME AS THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE REST OF THE FRAME IS BEING EVALUATED AT THIS TIME. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAY THAT THE THIS TRUCK IS NOT PART OF THE RE-CALL, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION TELLS THEM THEY HAVE TO DO EXTEND THE RECALL INTO OTHER YEARS OF THE TUNDRAS. AS OF RIGHT NOW IT ONLY INCLUDES THE 2007-2008 TRUCKS.

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH NO BODY RUST BUT THE FRAME IS ROTTING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD OR COULD HAVE EVEN KILLED SOMEONE AND TOYOTA DID NOT EVEN NOTIFY ME OF THE ISSUE. WHEN I DID FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AND CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY SAID THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FRAME RECALL - THE FRAME ORIGINALLY RECEIVED THE CRC COATING FROM KERRY TOYOTA DURING THE FRAME RECALL (UNKNOWN RECALL NUMBER AND TIME OF APPLICATION). THE COATING HAS FAILED AND AS A RESULT THE STEERING RACK MOUNTS HAVE SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THE BOLT AND MOUNTING POINT ARE STILL TOGETHER, BUT BROKEN FROM THE CROSSMEMBER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN CHANGE IN HOW THE STEERING WAS OPERATING. IT WAS CAUSING ME TO WONDER AROUND IN MY LINE. I FELT I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL ON THE STEERING. ONCE I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK, IT WAS APPARENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED. THERE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT RUST DAMAGE TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY WHERE THE MAIN CROSS MEMBER IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. THIS IS ALSO WHERE MAIN SUSPENSION COMPONENTS MOUNT TO THE FRAME. I BELIEVE THE CRC COATING HAS DONE NOTHING TO PREVENT THE RUST FROM DESTROYING THE FRAME AS IT WAS DESTROYED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE ARE OTHER SUB CROSS MEMBERS SUFFERING THE SAME RUST DAMAGE ALONG THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK. THERE ARE TWO MOUNTS WHERE THERE IS COMPLETE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE FRAME AND CROSSMEMBER.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE ONBOARD INTIGRATED TRAILER BREAK CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK WITH ALL ELECTRIC BREAK TRAILERS. WORKS ON MANUAL TRAILER BREAK APPLICATION BUT NOT EFFECTIVE ENOUGH WITH VEHICLE BREAKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. DURING A PANIC STOP THE TRAILER BREAKS DO NOT COME ON LIKE THEY DO WITH AN AFTER MARKET BREAK CONTROLLER LIKE A TEKONSHA P3 PROGRESSIVE BREAK CONTROLLER. THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A SOFTWARE RECALL TO MAKE THE ELECTRIC BREAK MOSE MORE RESPONSIVE. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS DOES IT TAKE FOR THE NTSB TO TAKE ACTION.

STEERING
DRIVING MY 68000 MILE 4 YEAR OLD TUNDRA ON BACK ROAD ABOUT 45 MPH AND STEERING LOCKED UP, AND STARTED SHUTTERING. WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND GET OFF THE ROAD ONLY TO FIND POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION WAS BLOWN OUT AND FLUID EVERYWHERE . THIS IS NO A ISSUE OF WEAR ITS AN ISSUE OF DEFECT PARTS IN THESE TUNDRAS , THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE . THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED FROM THIS. WAITING ON PICTURES FROM THE DEALER AND CAN SEND THEM TO YOU. TOYOTA CLAIMS STEERING RACK WENT BAD DUE TO DUST BOOT BEING RIPPED AND OUTSIDE DEBRIS CAUSING SEAL FAILURE, BUT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE WHILE ON SIDE OF ROAD MY ARM RIPPED THE DUST BOOT SO THE DUST BOOT WAS NEVER RIPPED UNTIL AFTER VEHICLES WAS PULLED OVER AND ALREADY BROKEN .
