I HAVE A 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT I BOUGHT NEW AND HAVE HAD SERVICED AT THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE THE PURCHASE. IN JUNE 2008, I HAD THE 60,000 SERVICE DONE AND HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED. IN AUGUST 2008, WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED THROUGH AND THE WHEEL WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO STEERING. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED, I HAD TO HAVE BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. TOYOTA USA PAID FOR HALF. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY TO HAVE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP STEP UP AND ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RUST ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND TOYOTA USA STATES THEY HAVE NO PROGRAM IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. NEITHER OF THESE EXCUSES ARE ACCEPTABLE. MY TRUCK IS SPOTLESS EXCEPT FOR FRAME RUST. TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS AND SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAS A RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED REAR CROSS MEMBER IN THE FRAME. THE FRAME MEMBER HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE IN PLACE AND WHILE CHANGING REAR SHOCKS AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER I NOTICED HOW RUSTED THE CROSS MEMBER AND THE REST OF THE FRAME IS, WHAT IS LEFT OF THE CROSS MEMBER IS CRACKING SO I NO LONGER HAVE THE TIRE UNDER THE TRUCK. A MECHANIC VERIFIED THIS WHILE HE WAS UNDER THE TRUCK REPLACING THE POWER STEERING RACK THAT ALSO RUSTED OUT .MY WIFE LOST THE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAD NEVER SEEN THE POWER STEERING RACK RUST OUT OR THAT MUCH RUST ON THE FRAME OF A TRUCK WITH 88,000 ON IT AND THAT THE FRAME WOULD HAVE TO BE WELDED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA ( CLAIM # 0910135009 ) AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE LOOKING IN TO IT. FROM WHAT I'VE HERD AND READ IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE LOST THEIR SPARE TIRE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HEARD THAT 2000 AND 2001 TUNDRA FRAMES WERE MADE IN THE SAME PLACE THE TACOMAS WERE AND I DID RECEIVE A RECALL ON MY PREVIOUS TRUCK A 2000 TACOMA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WE HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA ,AND THE COMPLAINT IS RUST, FIRST MY BUMPERS WENT .,THE REAR BUMPER GOT SO RUSTED THAT MY DAUGHTER SAT ON THE BUMPER AND SHE FELL TO THE GROUND., I CALLED TOYOTA ,THE SAID CALL MY LOCAL DEALER.,I DID., MY LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT ,THEY SAID IT WASN'T THERE PROBLEM . SO AT THIS POINT I NEVER REPLACED THE BUMPER BECAUSE TOYOTA WANTED 400.00 WITHOUT PUTTING THE BUMPER ON AND I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. ANYWAY WHO SAYS A NEW TOYOTA BUMPER WOULD BE NO GOOD ANY WAYS! SECOND AND MOST IMPORTANT IS THE FRAME YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR..... I TRIED TO APPLY AN UNDERCOAT TO THE FRAME AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR NO MATTER HOW MUCH UNDER COATING I PUT ON THE FRAME IT GETS LIKE A 100 TIMES WORSE I THINK THE RUST BEHIND THE UNDER COATING JUST BREAKS APART AND JUST FALLS OFF AS I DRIVE BECAUSE THE YEAR AFTER THE RUST IS 100 TIMES WORSE!!!! IF YOU WOULD PLEASE ., LOOK INTO THIS ASAP BECAUSE IM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK, AND I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE I WOULD BE AFRAID FOR THEM AND FEEL TERRIBLE IF SOMETHING DANGEROUS HAPPENED TO US OR THEM, PLEASE HELP!

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, WHICH I FEEL IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD DUE TO EXCESSIVE FRAME ROT. THIS TRUCK'S FRAME HAS TO BE THE WORST CASE OF FRAME ROT I'VE EVER SEEN. FAR WORSE THAN I'VE SEEN ON ANY TOYOTA TACOMA THAT WAS RECALLED. BUT, FOR SOME REASON TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE ON THESE TRUCKS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I WON'T BE ABLE TO PASS A STATE INSPECTION AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. SO THAT LEAVES ME MAKING PAYMENTS ON A TRUCK THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. OVER THIS PAST SUMMER, I NEEDED TO TRAVEL 500 MILE ROUND TRIPS FOR SEVERAL WEEKENDS FOR MEDICAL REASONS. KNOWING THAT I HAD SOME UNDERBODY CLUNKS GOING ON, I FIGURED I'D INVESTIGATE PRIOR TO MAKING THESE MANY TRIPS. I FOUND THAT THE UPPER SHOCK TOWERS WERE NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK, AND THEY WERE THE CAUSE OF MY CLUNK. I DECIDED TO PULL OFF THE BED OF THE TRUCK TO GET A BETTER ACCESS TO THESE ROTTED SPOTS. ONCE THE BED WAS REMOVED, I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT MY PROBLEM WAS FAR WORSE THAN I IMAGINED. I FOUND 21 ROT HOLES JUST IN THE SIX FOOT SECTION OF FRAME UNDER THE BED. I FOUND THAT MY SHOCK TOWERS HAD PULLED AWAY FROM THEIR FRAME MOUNTS DUE TO RUST. THE SCARIEST FIND WAS THAT THE CROSS MEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE SPARE TIRE HAD THREE OUT OF THE FOUR MOUNTING CORNERS COMPLETELY ROTTED OFF. HERE'S WHERE I GET CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. COULD YOU IMAGINE IF THIS CROSS MEMBER AND SPARE RIM/TIRE FELL OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS? THIS IS THE POINT WHERE I CONTACT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TELLS ME THAT TOYOTA ISN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR ME AT THIS TIME, AND TO REMAIN PATIENT. FRAME ROT IN 8 YEARS!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? KNOWING THAT I HAVE ALL THIS WEEKLY TRAVEL AHEAD OF ME, I ASKED HIM IF IT WOULD HURT MY FUTURE CHANCES OF A RECALL IF I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY SOME TEMPORARY WELDS TO THE FRAME TO FEEL A LITTLE SAFER IN MY TRAVELS. HE SAID THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE FINE. SOME OF THOSE REPAIRS DID NOT HOLD DUE TO POOR METAL. WHAT MORE CAN I DO? HELP!! *TR

2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE SPARE TIRE FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING! FORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY THE CROSS MEMBER RUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WOULDN'T SUPPORT THE SPARE ANYMORE. THE BRAKE LINE FAILED. THE BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH. AGAIN, FORTUNATELY I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE NO BRAKES WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED. *TR

2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 120K MILES IN CONCORD MA. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A NOISE WHILE TURNING OR HITTING A BUMP. UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE FRAME HAS CORRODED SO BADLY THE TORSION BAR IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. THE REAR END LEAF SPRING MOUNTS ARE ALSO CLOSE TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA AN RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER (CASE #09102651), WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED 3 DAYS AGO AND HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. ALSO REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY SAID THEY SHOULD BE CONTACTED BY TOYOTA WITH MY CASE NUMBER, AS OF YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED EITHER. THE ONLY REPAIR WILL BE A NEW UNDERCARRIAGE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. *TR

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2000 - IN MAY OF THIS YEAR THE VEHICLE WAS TO HAVE ANNUAL STATE INSPECTION AND DID NOT PASS DUE TO EXTREME RUSTING CONDITION OF THE FRAME. MECHANIC SAID HE COULD EASILY PUT A HAMMER THROUGH THE FRAME IT WAS IN SUCH BAD CONDITION AND ADVISED THAT THE HITCH WAS NOT SAFE TO USE. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND WANTED TO KEEP IT. WE HAD ONLY 158,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION SO DECIDED TO HAVE PLATES WELDED ONTO THE FRAME IN SEVERAL PLACES, HAD TO HAVE NEW BRAKE LINES INSTALLED AND THE ENTIRE UNDERNEATH OF THE TRUCK UNDERCOATED. THIS COST ME $1,087.29 AND TOOK 5 DAYS TO COMPLETE. APPARENTLY THE STEEL USED IN THIS TRUCK WAS INFERIOR AND I BELIEVE THE LEAST TOYOTA SHOULD DO IS REPLACE THE FRAME (AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE TACOMA WHICH ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM). I HAD NO LUCK IN DEALING WITH TOYOTA ON THIS AS THERE WAS NO RECALL. THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE ONE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE. *TR
