This is my second Tacoma. Both cases I-??ve found out too late that the frames are shot. Although before I purchased I had it inspected by Toyota shop to identify any problems including frame rot. First one I bought new second used. Both cases I was told I am out of the recall window. My loyalty to your brand is in question. You-??ve recognized a problem and on the surface it appears your taking responsibility for it. Then, atleast in my case, don-??t. Disappointed starts to describe my feelings on this matter. If you care to make any concessions and retain a Toyota customer reach out to me.

My Toyota was denied needing a frame replacement. I regret not taking it to a different dealership because it was very rusted! The corrosion compound was applied and now at 126,000 miles, you can literally rip handfuls of the frame off the truck. The frame is to the point of it not being safe to drive. I fear that it could definitely break in half while driving it. Has any other people reported rust coming through the spray on corrosion compound? It definitely did not solve the problem on my Toyota Tacoma.

This vehicle falls under a Toyota "Limited Service Campaign" based on the VIN. Because the vehicle is registered in Arizona my parents never received a notice of this campaign. But this vehicle is now in Indiana and is exposed to issues related to this campaign (Frame Rust - Cold Climate states). To base a campaign on state registration is short sighted and wrong. My parents still reside in Arizona and the vehicle is registered there but it will remain in Indiana as their vehicle for when they visit. I contacted Toyota and asked them to inspect and apply the CRC per the campaign but they have refused. Would ask the NTSB to review this campaign and cover all customer vehicles that might have exposure to cold climate not limited to registration state. If we would have been made aware of this we would have acted sooner but again, no one from Toyota informed us of the issue.

Foyota Tacoma 2008 truck, frame rust has broken into.

- Flatwoods, KY, USA

I purchased my 2008 Toyota Tacoma in 2010 with 39,000 miles on it. In early 2018, I received a notice from Toyota that my truck needed to have the frame inspected. I scheduled an appointment with the Toyota dealership in leesburg, va and had the frame inspected and treated with some type of black treatment. This substance never completely adhered to the frame and washed off. This is apparent in the attached photos. I expressed a concern about reoccurring rust in April 2020 with the Toyota dealer and they directed me to call Toyota directly. I then opened a case with Toyota, case #2004082516 and was unable to get the frame re-inspected due to covid. Recently in 2021 during a regular service, the technician brought to my attention large gaping holes in the frame. The technician said that the frame would not pass va state safety inspection which is due in April 2021. I am now left with a vehicle that is not safe to drive and of no value.

- New Hampton, NH, USA

I had 2 previous recalls on this vehicle to check for a rusted frame.... when I purchased this vehicle I had it under coated and of course it passed the two inspections..the undercoating has now flaked off so now the frame has rusted through.. I took it to a body shop and had a patch welded on to the frame... Toyota now says there is no recall on this vehicle for a rusted frame... I have to question this after receiving the two previous recalls...

My vehicle has a lot of rust area on the bottom frame. I am unable to put a carjack to lift the vehicle up without the frame breaking. I am afraid if I need to switch the tire I wont be able to because of all the rust. I need to place a side step running board on this vehicle but I am afraid it may be too rusted to hold it. There is some rust on the body area and I was thinking about fixing it myself but the frame maybe a little harder to fix if I need to replace these parts.

Frame rust. There was a inspection period for rusted frames on this vehicle (and others), I missed the inspection period and am fearful that my truck is potentially dangerous. I think this inspection time period and work should be expanded to protect current owners and others on the roads. Toyota states it is out of their hands and they can do nothing for me, regardless of the safety issue. Please help expand this into a recall or expand the inspection and correction period. Note: Actual date of inspection or inspection notice is unknown

This truck was recalled for premature frame corrosion. At the dealer's inspection the vehicle was pronounced as being structurally sound. However, at the corporations expense the vehicle would be sent elsewhere for frame anti corrosion treatment. I picked up the truck a couple of days later and followed the instructions as far as allowing the treatment to cure outside for several days. This repair was done in January F this year. After several weeks it seemed as though the frame treatment had not cured as a strong chemical smell persisted which was physically nauseating. It is now May 5th and the vehicle is at the dealership (where the vehicle was purchased) for an unrelated recall repair. The service manager and mechanic who looked at the vehicle say the treatment will eventually cure and stop smelling. The Toyota corporation claims to have no responsibility in this matter. The dealer sent the vehicle out for a Toyota corporation authorized treatment that apparently did not work. This has made the vehicle not useful for me any longer; I don't expect to have to live with my primary vehicle having been made useless unless I intend to be made ill while driving it. The vehicle was more useful, even with minor frame corrosion, before this treatment was done and I fully expected to have the use for several more years.
