Toyota's Tundra corrosion recall focuses on the frame, fuel tank mounting, and spare tire mounting hardware. If the frame has no perforations and the fuel tank suspension and spare tire mounting are sound, the truck is determined to be safe. My Tundra has been so inspected by a dealer, passed their test, and found to be "safe.". my complaint is that the vehicle's undercarriage shows extensive corrosion of frame, steering, and suspension components beyond the scope of Toyota's recall. The extent of the corrosion is so great that it calls into question the potential for a suspension or steering component to fail during operation, leading to a loss of control and injury to passengers and others on the highway. I have digital photographs of several corrosion sites on the undercarriage of my truck that illustrate my concern. I have taken my truck to a body shop for evaluation and was told it is not safe. Toyota's recall does not address the full range of safety issues brought on by their corrosion problem. Toyota should be required to inspect all of the critical components subject to the excessive corrosion and either determine they are safe or repair them. If my digital photos would assist you in understanding my concern, I would be happy to forward them to you. Thank you!

2001 Toyota Tundra. I have replaced front left lower control arm, rear brake parts and other parts attached to the frame of this truck. I have sanded, scraped, primed and painted the frame of my truck. I wash the frame at least once a week in the winter time. The frame is still rusting away. The rear of the frame is rusted around the spare tire mount and rear frame rails. The front of the frame does not appear to have much rust looking from the outside, however if you look inside the frame there is heavy rust. I have two large chunks of rust that have been retrieved from the inside of the front frame. I have saved these two large chunks needed. I have contacted Toyota many times on this matter, dating back to 2008. I have been told there is a recall, yet this recall is only for the rear cross member. I was also told that there was only a recall for rust perforation (hole). This seems strange to me knowing that as the metal in the frame deteriorates from corrosion it is weakened. I don't believe there has to be a hole in the frame to make it weak. I am not looking for a new truck. I would just like to have my truck last as long as advertised in Toyota tv commercials. "legendary reliability" my truck is not that old and only had 80K miles on when I first filed a complaint with Toyota. The body on my truck is almost 100% rust free. If I had not cleaned and painted my frame the truck would have been junk along time ago. I would just like to see Toyota take care of this problem with more than a anti corrosion spray and hitting it with a hammer.

Vehicle was driving roughly and consumer was able to pull over. Consumer noticed that the right passenger's side wheel collapsed inward. Had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that both driver's side and passenger's side ball joints needed to be replaced. The consumer stated that the lower ball joint failed.

On my 2001 Tundra, when appling the brakes there is sever vibration causing the whole truck to vibrate. The dealership replaced the front and rear brakes but the vibration still occurs. It has caused the tires to wear excessivly and there is only 20,000 miles on the truck.
