Was never notified of Class Action suit for rusted frame and replacement. Frame is swiss cheese on a vehicle that has 37,500 miles on it. The body is perfect but the frame is unsafe, did not pass inspection and unrepairable other than a frame replacement. I'm sure there are more of us out there. They performed "rust prevention" but there is no indication of rust. They inspected within 12 years of purchase date but did not replace. There is no way that this extent of rust happened in 2 years.

Frame is totally rusted out and crumbling. Unrepairable. There was a class action suit for this to be replaced, a recall to be replaced for years 2005-2010. The vehicle's body is in excellent condition, mechanically very sound but dangerous and could collapse within a few months.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Frame rotted and will not pass state inspection. Toyota dealer stated there was no recall on the frame, but some kind of warranty extension which is no longer active since 2022. I don't remember getting any notice from Toyota. I did get 3 recall notices, but nothing on the frame. Now they will not fix or do anything. I did not see it when I looked up recalls 2 years ago, and thought it was not effected. I have low mileage (69,000) on the vehicle that runs perfectly, but I its useless because I was never notified the frame had a safety issue. The Toyota dealer says they can't help me at all. My complaint is I was never notified about it and driving an unsafe vehicle. Now it will not pass inspection because Toyota sold me a faulty frame. How can Toyota not stand behind it's vehicles and make good in some way? There must be many others that missed this as well. Please help anyway you can.

I was trying to sell my vehicle as private party but I kept being asked, by the potential buyers, if the frame of this vehicle was replaced under a manufacturer recall. Not knowing the right answer I asked a local dealer to verify if a frame recall was performed on my truck and the answer was NO. I bought this truck in Aug. 2018 from a used car dealer which sold me the vehicle AS IS but he didn't inform me that there was an active recall, then ultimately I contacted the manufacturer which told me that the recall was closed in July 2020. Apparently dealers cannot sell vehicles under active recalls unless they are addressed but I was sold one. In all this I've never have been contacted by the manufacturer/dealer to inform me of the recall, also I drove an unsafe vehicle for 5 years without knowing that in case of an accident, serious consequences could have occurred. As of now the vehicle is not on the road. Who would be the responsible party in this issue? Who should take action to address this? Thank you for your help!

Frame has multiple holes in it up front near the cab mounts, dealer told me it doesn’t qualify for a new one or the frame recall that was sent out once even tho google says 15 years after manufacture date, 2010 and it’s not 2025 so I should still qualify. The frame damage was found upon a yearly state inspection so I’m not sure how it passed the first time.

My vehicle, which has been inspected at my local Toyota dealership, has significant rust corrosion, with perforation through the frame in several areas. I was told by the service manager that Toyota had sent out letters to owners (not a recall) to bring their vehicles in for inspection for this problem and that they would repair or replace the frame. I had not received any correspondence about this issue and have been told that this program expired in September of 2021,which now leaves me with the financial liability of replacing or repairing, which I have been told would cost between 14-20 thousand. I have contacted "The Toyota Brand engagement center" case#221121001445, and they confirm they cannot and will not do anything for me. Please let me know what possible recourse I have in resolving this issue. Thank You!! Bruce Beeman 122 Ridgewood Acres Thomaston Connecticut 06787 (860) 283-8916

My mechanic found excessive premature rusting to my truck's under carriage/frame. He suggested that I contact Toyota to see what could be done about this condition. Having never received a notice of recall I searched for recall information and called Toyota's "Brand Engage3ment Advocate". I found out that the recall for the frame expired 6 months ago. This is intolerable since the truck I own now was a replacement for a truck that had premature rusting of the frame. I thought surely that Toyota would have addressed this issue in my 2010 Tacoma and I was unaware that it would be a problem. Toyota Brand Engagement Center filed a case number for me (not really helpful to me) which is 221017000168.

I jacked the truck up, following the directions in the owners manual and the jack went right through the frame of the truck. Upon further inspection, the frame was seen to be flaking and crumbling apart. I looked into recalls and found that Toyota settled this situation on 2006-2008 and some 2010 Tacomas. Obviously my 2010 Tacoma is one of the defective ones.
