I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 ACCESS CAB 4WD PICK UP THAT HAS 131,000 MILES. FAILED THE STATE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO A RUSTED OUT CROSSMEMBER IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO POINTED OUT TO ME THE POOR CONDITION OF THE FRAME IN MANY OTHER AREAS. IT IS OBVIOUS TOYOTA HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON THEIR HANDS WITH FRAME ROT. THE TACOMA'S PROVED THAT. WHY AREN'T THEY INCLUDING THESE TUNDRA'S WITH THE SAME ISSUES? I DO HAVE A SMALL CHILD THAT RIDES IN THE VEHICLE SO I'M VERY CONCERNED. *TR

THE FRAME OF MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS SEVERELY RUSTED. SO FAR BOTH FRONT END SWAY BARS HAVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OTHER PARTS (SUCH AS THE LEAF SPRINGS) LOOK CLOSE TO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE DID PASS THIS YEARS STATE INSPECTION BUT I WAS WARNED THAT IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO PASS NEXT YEAR. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECHNICIAN CHANGING MY OIL THAT I HAD SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT RUST ON THE FRAME OF MY 2000 TUNDRA. I HAVE BEEN FINDING RUST FLAKES ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND AFTER READING ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING FRAME FAILURES I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL. THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF I HAD HOLES IN THE FRAME? TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE WAS MOST CORDIAL BUT EXPLAINED THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT YET TAKEN ACTION TO ADDRESS HOW THEY MIGHT ASSIST TUNDRA OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN INSPECTION FOR MY TUNDRA'S FRAME WITH A TOYOTA DEALER FOR NEXT WEEK. THERE IS RUST ON ENTIRE FRAME AND IT IS VERY RUSTED ON THE SPRINGS AND HOLDERS. EVERY WELDED JOINT HAS FLAKING AND SHOWING SEPARATING LAYERS. I DON'T BELIEVE I WILL BE TOWING OR CARRYING HEAVY WEIGHT TILL I'M ASSURED THE RUST ED PARTS HAVE PROPER INTEGRITY TO SUPPORT WEIGHT AND SPEEDS. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO WITH A 2000-2001 TUNDRA WITH RUST TO CALL TOYOTA!!!!!! AND FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. TOYOTA WANTS TO KNOW, AND WE NEED SOME ANSWERS AND ASSISTANCE IN MAKING SURE FRAMES ARE SAFE. *TR

FAILURE OF FRAME IN 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. FIRST NOTICED LARGE AMOUNTS OF METAL FLAKING OFF IN EARLY 2007. NOTIFIED TOYOTA AND THEY DID NOTHING. SPARE TIRE FELL OFF BOTTOM OF TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. NOTICED A CRACK IN THE FRAME AND TOOK IT TO BE WELDED, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY SPARE TIRE CROSSMEMBER COULD COME OFF IN ITS ENTIRETY, THAT TWO OF MY CAB MOUNTS WERE NO LONGER INTACT AND THAT THE OTHERS WERE HANGING BY A THREAD, AND THAT THE FRAME COULD NOT BE WELDED IN A WAY THAT WOULD BE SAFE FOR USE, AS THERE WERE PORTIONS WITHOUT ENOUGH METAL REMAINING TO WELD TO. NOTIFIED TOYOTA AGAIN (FEB 2009) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO PROGRAM IN PLACE FOR THE TUNDRA. PROBLEMS BEGAN IN 2007. ROT ONGOING. TRUCK IS A TOTAL HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE FRAME, AND (USELESSLY ENOUGH) UTTERLY FUNCTIONAL IN EVERY OTHER WAY. PICTURES AND THE WHOLE STORY AT WWW.MY2000TUNDRA.COM - I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, SO I MADE A WEBSITE TO SHARE THE INFORMATION & PICTURES. *TR

REPORT OF SEVERE RUST TO THE FRAME STRUCTURE OF TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUP. UPON DISCOVERY OF CORROSION OWNER CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR FRAME INSPECTION. FRAME WAS INSPECTED AND ONE LARGE HOLE WAS MADE BY DEALER IN FRAME ON FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. UPON QUESTIONING OF DEALER OWNER WAS TOLD THAT THE HOLE WAS MINOR COMPARED TO HOLES FOUND ON OTHER TUNDRA PICKUPS. DEALER SAID TRUCK WAS OK TO DRIVE, BUT UPON DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT TRUCK WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED INSPECTION IF HOLE HAD BEEN VISIBLE 1 WEEK BEFORE. THERE IS A CLEAR ISSUE WITH FRAME CONSTRUCTION AND UPON CONTACTING TOYOTA AFTER INSPECTION TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO PROGRAM TO ADDRESS ISSUE AND WILL NOT COMMENT ON VEHICLE SAFETY WITH THIS INTENSE FRAME CORROSION. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO DOCUMENT PROVIDED BY EITHER DEALER OR TOYOTA THAT STATES IN WRITING THAT TRUCK IS ROAD WORTHY AND SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB WITH 14,000 MILES ON IT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65+MPH) THERE IS A TERRIBLE BOUNCE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. AT TIMES, IT IS SO BAD THAT I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND MUST SLOW DOWN WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAD MY TIRES BALANCED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I CANNOT TAKE PASSENGERS ON LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS BECAUSE THEY GET NAUSEOUS. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE WITH A TUNDRA TO BECOME INJURED OR DIE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN IT HAD 8,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT 78,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN MAKING A NOISE AND VIBRATION THAT UPON FIRST IMPRESSION SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE RUNNING INTO A POTHOLE. THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO, INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO GO INTO REVERSE GEAR. AFTER DROPPING THE TRANSMISSION PAN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PAN HAD SEVERAL CLUMPS OF METAL SHAVINGS AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EGREGIOUS MECHANICAL FAILURE ON A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE AND WELL MAINTAINED. *TR
