2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 XCAB 4X4 HAS EXTREME FLAKING RUST ALL OVER FRAME, FRONT BUMPER TO REAR. BODY METAL IS FINE. PART OF FRAME IS BUCKLING/FLEXING, FRONT RIGHT STABILIZER MOUNT HAS SNAPPED OFF WITH NOTHING TO WELD TO. SEVERAL WELD AREAS HAVE WEAKENED OR LET GO. PROBLEM BECAME NOTICEABLE IN 2005 (AT 60,000 ODOMETER MILES). SLOWLY GOT WORSE. LOGGED CASE WITH TOYOTA IN 2008 WHEN FRAME BEGAN TO FLEX. NO PROGRAM TO HELP. SEVERELY WORSE IN 2009. UPDATED CASE WITH TOYOTA. STILL NO OFFER OF HELP OR REMEDY, JUST "WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT". NO LONGER ABLE TO SAFELY TOW, WILL SOON BE UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE.

WE OWN A 2000 TOYOTA, IN GREAT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE EXCESSIVE RUST/ROT OF THE FRAME. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR TRUSTED AUTO MECHANIC WHO HAS ADVISED US THAT THE TRUCK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED "TOTALED" AND TWO SEPARATE AUTO BODY SHOPS WOULD NOT EVEN TOUCH IT. THE FRAME IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, HAS HOLES ALL THROUGH IT. WE HAVE TRIED TO CALL TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE SIMPLY TELLING US THAT THE SITUATION IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND THAT WE SHOULD HOLD TIGHT. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SO WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BLACK LAWN ORNAMENT. THIS TRUCK IS SHOWING WEAR ON THE FRAME THAT YOU WOULD SEE ON A VEHICLE 3 TIMES IT'S AGE. WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS ONE. IT IS PUTTING A BAD TASTE IN OUR MOUTHS FOR SURE. *TR
