RUSTING FRAME AND CROSS MEMBERS. RUST COMING THROUGH THE BED JUST WHERE IT IS MOUNTED TO THE RUSTY FRAME. BEFORE LONG THE BED LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT RUST OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS A TERRIBLE RUST ISSUE. THIS IS MY SECOND 2000 TUNDRA THAT I HAVE OWNED AND IT ALSO HAD TERRIBLE FRAME RUST. *TR

I NOTICED THE SPARE TIRE DANGLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOWERED THE TIRE I NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE CROSS BRACE HAD RUSTED OUT AND LEFT THE SPARE TIRE HELD BY A THIN RUSTED PIECE OF METAL. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND KEEP IT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. IF THAT TIRE BROKE AWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR, IT COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY TRADED IN MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED AND GOT $8200 TRADE FOR IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MINT SHAPE WITH ONLY 74,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE PICTURES ETC...I JUST TRADED IT FOR A 2009 COROLLA S. THE FRAME WAS SO ROTTED I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE IN TRADING IT IN. IT WAS JUST FALLING OFF IN CLUMPS OF RUST. THE BRAKE LINES AND BRAKES WORRIED ME TO MUCH AND WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN THE TACOMAS HAD THEIR RECALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE RUST ID STILL HAVE THAT TRUCK. JEFF POPP WORCESTER MA NOW I HAVE A 200 DOLLAR MORE CAR PAYMENT I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET RE EMBURSED FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF THIS REASON OF GETTING RID OF MY TUNDRA. THANK U. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND SPARE TIRE FELL OFF UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND ROLLED DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A NEIGHBOR (WHO IS A SERVICE MANAGER) LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS UNSAFE AND THE WHOLE BOTTOM WAS RUSTED OUT.. TOYOTA CLAIMED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE THAT IT WAS JUST A RUSTED BOLT. TWO WEEKS LATER THE MUFFLER WAS LOUD SO WE TOOK IT TO A MIDAS DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME IN AND STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT THE MUFFLER THE BOLTS AND CLAMPS HAD ROTTED OUT AND HE NEEDED TO DRILL HOLES TO ATTACH NEW BOLTS. HE TOLD ME THAT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE JOINTS ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE AND HE FELT THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND DEFINITELY NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. SO NOW I HAVE HAD 2 PEOPLE CLAIM THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THE TOYOTA DEALERS CLAIMS IT IS SAFE. THE WHOLE UNDERNEATH IS A BIG PILE OF RUST. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED WHEN THE TIRE FELL OF WHILE I WAS DOING 50 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS ALLOWING MY TEENAGE SON TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOW IT SPENDS MOST OF ITS TIME SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. IN JUNE OF 2004, HE NOTICED CORROSION BUBBLING UNDER THE PAINT ON THE FRAME; THERE WERE QUARTER INCH LUMPS ON THE PAINT. HIS MECHANIC SPECULATED THAT THE CORROSION WAS PREMATURE FOR THE VEHICLE'S AGE IN 2004. HE THEN RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE OILED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OILED SINCE 2005. DURING THE LAST OILING HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE CROSS BRACE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE HAD CORROSION , AND THE SPARE TIRE WAS MISSING. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 154,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. CONSUMER IS ADDING PICTURES. 10/26/09. *NJ UPDATED 10/26/09 *BF THE CONSUMER SENT IN PICTURES OF THE FRAME.

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND A FEW YEARS AGO IT BEGAN TO SHED ITS PAINT. IT SPOTS UP LIKE IT IS CORRODED WITH A CHEMICAL THEN BEGINS TO PEEL OFF. BY THIS POINT THE WHOLE TRUCK HAS EITHER PEELED OFF OR IS SPOTTED. THE RUNNING BOARDS ARE ALSO CORRODED AND RUSTING WITH HOLES ALL OVER THEM. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND A REP LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND PRECEDED TO ACCUSE ME OF EXPOSING MY TRUCK TO A CHEMICAL AND SAYING HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. THEY REFUSED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I KNOW OF ANOTHER LADY WITH THE SAME YEAR TRUCK AND COLOR OF MINE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I DID NOT BUY MY TRUCK NEW, BUT IT WAS ONLY 5 OR 6 YRS. OLD WHEN THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR. I AM THINKING THAT I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE OUT HERE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP YOU CAN OFFER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I OWN A YEAR 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, WHICH I PURCHASED AS A NEW VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWN EXTREME RUSTING, ESPECIALLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH HAS FAILED TWICE DUE TO CORROSION. DURING THE MOST RECENT BRAKE FAILURE I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DESCENDING A HILL AND DOWNSHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLOW DOWN. ADDITIONAL RUST PROBLEMS HAVE INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF ALL FRONT AND REAR BRAKE LINES, INCLUDING THE REAR PROPORTIONING VALVE. THE FRONT ROTOR CALIPER PINS HAVE ALSO SEIZED DUE TO RUST. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SEIZED DUE TO RUST AND WAS NOT OPERATIONAL. BOTH SWAY BAR LINKS AND BUSHINGS FAILED DUE TO RUST. THE HEAT SHIELDS AROUND THE MUFFLER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER RUSTED OFF THE TUNDRA AND MAY HAVE POSED SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARDS TO DRIVERS TRAVELING BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. THESE CORROSION PROBLEMS WERE REPORTED TO TOYOTA AND THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED BY A DISTRICT SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FOR FRAME RUSTING ONLY (SUMMER 2009). THE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, ETC. WERE COMPLETELY IGNORED, EVEN THOUGH I BROUGHT THIS TO THE SERVICE REP'S ATTENTION. IN ADDITION, THE DISTRICT MANAGER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS. ALL THE ABOVE PROBLEMS ABOVE WERE REPAIRED AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, WHOSE MECHANICS COMMENTED THAT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. ALSO, THE REPAIRS ARE DOCUMENTED IN MY VEHICLE'S SERVICE HISTORY. *TR
