MY 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS RUSTING AWAY ON THE FRAME. THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BEND, CRACK OR BRAKE AT ANY TIME. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN WASHED TOP AND BOTTOM AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH SINCE IT WAS NEW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I NOTICE THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE IS BRITTLE AND LOOKS UNSAFE. I HAVE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK BUT AM NOW WORRIED THAT IT MAY BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE.*TR

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON ROUTE 109 IN MILLIS, MA. WHERE I LIVE. AS I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT, THE SPARE TIRE ON MY 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA LONGBED DROPPED ONTO THE PAVEMENT. THERE WAS NO INJURY, I SIMPLY PULLED OVER AND RECOVERED THE SPARE. I FEEL EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY! A RATHER LARGE TIRE WOULD BE RIGHT IN THE PATH OF WHOEVER WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND. THERE IS A SHORT CABLE AND HUNK OF RUSTED METAL STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE IF ANYONE NEEDS TO SEE EVIDENCE OF WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR NORMAL AND I SIMPLY WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. MARK THOMPSON *TR

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT MY 2002 TOYOTA MAY BE RECALLED DUE TO THE SPARE TIRE MOUNTING BEING RUSTED. I HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS TRUCK SINCE THE GAS TANK THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER AND FUEL LINES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE TOYOTA RELIABILITY REPUTATION. WOULD YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE FREQUENCY OF RUST ON THESE AREAS AND ISSUE WHAT EVER RECALLS APPROPRIATE. *TR

PARKING BRAKE, STEERING
THE FRAME ON MY 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS RUSTING BADLY. TOYOTA WAS UNABLE TO ALIGN MY FRONT END DUE TO RUST, AND IT HAS CAUSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM TO COMPLETELY FREEZE UP AND THE BRAKE WILL NOT WORK. IT IS A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM, I HAVE NO BRAKE. TOYOTA TRIED TO FREE UP THE BRAKES BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO. THEY GAVE ME A CAN OF LUBRICANT AND TOLD ME TO KEEP LUBING THE FROZEN SECTION. THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO ALIGN MY FRONT END. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA PU THAT WAS BUILT IT 2001. THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SEVERE RUST. PIECES OF RUSTED METAL HAVE FALLEN FROM THE VEHICLE'S FRAME. THE SPARE TIRE IS ALSO IN A RUSTED/PITTED CONDITION. THE VEHICLE HAS GONE ONLY 40,247 MILES AND I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS. THE TRUCK IS IN MINT CONDITION THROUGHOUT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RUST AND METAL DETERIORATION LOCATED ONLY ON THE FRAME. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE RUST/DETERIORATION WAS SEVERE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LOW MILEAGE. HOWEVER, THEY DID CONDUCT AN INSPECTION AND DETERMINED THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT PERFORATED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DETERIORATION WILL GET WORSE OVERTIME, AND DUE TO THE LOW MILES THE VEHICLE WOULD BE ON THE ROAD FOR MANY YEARS. AS A RESULT, A SAFETY FAILURE IN THE FRAME WOULD BE PROBABLE. THE DEALER SAID THAT I COULD CALL THE TOYOTA REP. TO VOICE MY CONCERNS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S FRAME EACH TIME I BRING THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE, IF I REQUESTED IT. THIS TYPE OF FRAME DETERIORATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ONLY 40, 247 MILES. I ALSO KEEP THE TRUCK IN A GARAGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD OCCASIONALLY HEAR A SLIGHT "CLUNK". SOUNDED LIKE IT MIGHT BE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS FIRST OCCURRED AROUND 85K MILES. THEN AGAIN ABOUT A YEAR LATER. AFTER THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME, I TOOK THE CAR A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THEY REPORTED THAT THE OVERDRIVE GEAR BEARING WAS FAILING AND THIS WAS COMMON ON THE EARLY TUNDRAS. APPARENTLY THE NEEDLE BEARING BEGINS TO FALL APART AND EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION COSTS JUST ABOUT AS MUCH AS REPLACING IT AND THERE WAS ALREADY DAMAGE TO THE GEARS. END RESULT -- I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT 100K MILES. IF THIS IS TRULY A COMMON FAILURE, IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA PUT THESE TRUCKS ON THE ROAD WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT WASN'T UP TO THE TASK. I RARELY HAUL HEAVY LOADS OR TRAILERS AND CONSIDER MY USE OF THE TRUCK TO BE VERY GENTLE. HARDLY ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THE EARLY DEMISE OF A TRANSMISSION. *TR
