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!

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.

STRUCTURAL FRAME RUSTED THROUGH. TOYOTA DEALER SPRAYED FRAME IN 2014 AND SAID THE FRAME WOULD BE FINE AS OF FOUR YEARS AGO THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE. SOME STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS ALSO ROTTED ON THE FRAME. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WITH THE DEALER IT'S FRUSTRATING AND NON-PRODUCTIVE .WHEN THE DEALER SPRAYED THE FRAME THEY FAILED TO PLUG ALL THE HOLES IN THE FRAME. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO ADDITIVE OR SEALER THAT THE DEALER SPRAYED ON THE FRAME IT HAS ALL WASHED AWAY. I CAN ACTUALLY PLACE FOUR FINGERS THRU THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2017 WHEN I FIRST NOTICE THE ROT.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED FRAME AND TRAILER HITCH WAS RUSTED.*JB

THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE FRAMES ON TUNDRAS RUSTING. MY WAS NOT REPLACED, IT WAS JUST UNDERCOATED. THE FRAME IS RUSTING UNDER THE COATING AND THE COATING IS FALLING OFF. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ALSO CALLED TOYOTA. BOTH WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THE FRAME FAILED BUT TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA, WITCH I DID. TOYOTA TOLD ME THE TIME HAD RUN OUT ON THAT RECALL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY AND SHOULD HAVE HAD A FRAME REPLACMENT.

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.
