The problem is excessive frame rust. I contacted the dealer where I bought it, I was told no recall. I contacted Toyota directly and a local dealer ira Toyota looked at it and said it was safe. Their case # 1002142135. The rust is now to the point where I have holes in the bed supports. The scale falls off in pieces as big as 4 inches by 4 inches.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and it has a problem that when the car gets hot the engine will stall out and die without warning. It creates no omd II errors and the check engine light never appears. The ECM fuse blows on occasion but replacing it does not lead to a running vehicle. It fails to start until the engine compartment cools down. There is fire from the spark plugs and there is fuel pressure in the fuel rail. We have replaced all the relays and fuses in the ECM and EFI circuits and all fingers are now pointing to the ECM controller itself. We just changed out the fuel pump and are looking at replacement of all the ignition coils (8) and all the fuel injectors (8). But since all of these components seam to be working that would make little since. The recent recall for the ECM on the matrix & corolla indicate that there may have been problems with the manufacture of ECM units for a much longer period of time since my Tundra is exhibiting the same problem. This problem has been getting worse for over 5 years now and the Toyota dealers and other Toyota specialty shops cannot find the problem since there are no engine codes and the fact that it will start and run fine after it cools down. I have been waiting for it to die and not start at all to hope to find the problem.

We own a 2000 Toyota Tundra pickup. While researching the tether strap system behind the driver's side it was brought to our attention the guide bar has an opening facing towards the door that does not allow for the tether strap to be held securely. We had the dealer look at this and was told all Tundra are made this way and that it is not a defect and that it could not be changed. This concerns me that I cannot utilize all safety features of my car seat in the pickup. I need to have two car seats in the truck so simply putting the car seat on the passenger side is not an option. I would like to see a way for that guide bar to be put in correctly so that it would guide the stap to the tether anchor that is available along the side of the floor. Otherwise there should not be an anchor on the drivers side since it cannot be installed correctly because of the guide bar issue as it now stands.
