MY 2006 TUNDRA IS LIKE NEW IN ALL RESPECTS BUT ONE; ALL TOYOTA RECOMMENDED ROUTINE AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY COPELAND TOYOTA FOR 13 YEARS; FRAME HAS FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. 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.

THE VIN ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE BRINGS UP A DIFFERENT MODEL IN NHTSA DATABASE. I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW CAB (4 DOOR). THE INFORMATION IN THE DATABASE IS FOR AN ACCESS CAB. THE WEIGHT LIMITS, SPECIFICATIONS, PARTS, AND RECALLS ARE DIFFERENT FOR THESE TWO MODELS. HOW DO I GO ABOUT CORRECTING THIS? THANK YOU

DRIVING HOME AT THE END OF OUR VACATION, MY WIFE AND I WERE IN SEPERATE VEHICLES, SHE IN FRONT OF ME ON I-80 GOING WEST BOUND. WE'D JUST GOTTEN OFF THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE AND AS TRAFFIC WAS BUILDING AND SLOWING, SHE BRAKED AHEAD OF ME AND WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKE IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME BEFORE REAR ENDING THE CAR MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. IT WAS A LOW SPEED IMPACT, MAYBE 25 MPH. NO POLICE REPORT AND WE JUST KEPT DRIVING AFTER CHECKING THAT ALL WAS OK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED AND THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO SAY THE BRAKE LINES AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE STATED HE CANNOT DO THE WORK DUE TO THE FACT THE TRUCK IS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR AND HE FELT UNSAFE TO WORK UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK FOR FEAR OF IT FALLING ON HIM. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR RUSTED FRAME ISSUES AND THE WINDOW TO RESPOND WAS MISSED DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS INVOLVING CARE OF A SINCE DECEASED MOTHER. I TRIED TO TALK TO TOYOTA BUT THE SHORT ANSWER IS I WAS TOO LATE EVEN THOUGH THE RUSTED FRAME IS ONLY WORSENING WITH TIME DUE TO FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW WITH THE METHOD THESE TRUCKS WERE PRODUCED.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER PLATE IS LEAKING GEAR OIL. THE COVER PLATE IS FIXED IN PLACE NOT BOLTED ON. THE EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR TOYOTA TACOMAS SO I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WITHOUT A RECALL INITIATED BY NHTSA. SHOULD THIS COVER PLATE TOTALLY FAIL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL THE RESULTING ACCIDENT MAY CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING ON THE SAME HIGHWAY.

MY TIRES WERE ROTATED BY DISCOUNT TIRES (3836 PLAZA DR., OCNSD, CA). THEY DID NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE LUGS ON MY RIGHT DRIVER SIDE TIRE AND IT FLEW OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND BADLY DAMAGED MY CAR. THEY ARE DENYING ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSUME THAT THE LUGS ARE EITHER TIGHTENED FULLY OR NOT AT ALL. I LOCATED ALL THE LUGS AND ONLY ONE SHEARED OFF THE STUFF. ALSO THE SAFETY STUD WAS NOT TIGHTENED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY TRAIN THEY EMPLOYEES FOR PROPER AND SAFE TIRE ROTATION. ALSO PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY OTHER AGENCY THAT OVERSEES TIRE ROTATION BUSINESSES. THANK YOU.

HAD TRUCK TOWED DUE TO BROKEN BRAKE LINE AND WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC THAT FRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED WITH HOLES ABOVE FRONT WHEELS AND WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. REAR END ALSO SEVERELY CORRODED. CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALER, NO WARRANTY OR RECALL ON 2006 FRAMES ALTHOUGH TUNDRAS AND TACOMAS OLDER AND NEWER THAN 2006 ARE GETTING WARRANTIED FRAME REPLACEMENTS DUE TO RECALLS. DEALER WENT TO THE GARAGE THAT HAD TOWED THE TRUCK AND INSPECTED THE FRAME. DEALER ADVISED US TO GET HOLES IN FRAME FIXED AT OUR EXPENSE. DEALER VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL TO SPRAY FRAMES, BUT THE SPRAY HAD LIMITED AVAILABILITY FROM TOYOTA AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FULFILL THE RECALL WHEN WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVABLE FOR MANY MORE. WE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA USA ON 11/14/2018, COMPLAINT# 181 114 1536 AND ARE NEXT ENTERING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NH ATTORNEY GENERAL.
