My frame have a big hole

- Dover, NJ, USA

My frame is to the point that it can not be repaired. It was coated by Toyota years ago as a safety recall but it is to the point now that my mechanic says it is to bad to repair. I have called Toyota and they say there have been frame issues that have been recalled but not with this year and model. only 135,000 miles on the truck

During inspection of my Tundra, I was told by the Toyota service technician that the frame integrity is compromised and could lead to a catastrophic incident. This is a common issue, Toyota settled a class action lawsuit in 2019, but it was restricted to just the 2007-8 model years of the Tundra. There was an earlier recall, but the resolution was not a fix, it was just a patch, leaving thousands of first generation Tundras on the road still with the potential to cause serious safety exposure. Toyota had a frame replacement program for a few years, so they are aware that it-??s an issue, but have not resolved for many owners. They sued the frame manufacturer, Dana Corp I believe, further proof that they knew it-??s a problem.

First the gas tank let loose and fell half way off. Result was a new gas tank installed. then part of the frame rusted from the cab. This resulted in having to have it welded. Have had several service repair lights come on that resulted in more fixes. Today just about does it. The spare tire fell to the road because rust ate through what was holding it up. I have all the papers that show the repairs and what it has cost me. I have not done anything yet about spare tire. I have had the truck since 2013 and it has less then 94k miles on it. It had 35 when I bought it and I knew nothing about the rust problem recall. I certainly believe I should have a new frame or some kind of compensation. Over the years I have talked to several dealers that got me no where. I guess this is my last shot.

The frame has rusted so badly that the spare tire fell off into the highway and nearly caused the vehicle behind to almost wreck.Upon arrival at home I looked at the frame and noticed that the u-bolts holding the rear differential are almost rusted off and will need to be replaced. The entire frame is rusted badly. I think something should be done!!! This vehicle has been taken care of and has seldom been off-road. I am a 72 year old man who does not abuse my vehicle. Thank you Jerry Wakeland

2002 Tundra was recalled for the rusty frame. I had mine inspected at the time of the recall. The dealership sprayed the frame of my truck. Now my frame is severely rusted and unsafe to drive. The balance of my vehicle is in good condition with approximately 200,000 miles. Will I be eligible for repair or replacement" Who should I contact" Thank you Bridgette Gartmann

Frame of truck was totally rusted out and vehicle was considered "non-drivable", by Toyota dealership. Toyota dealership "checked" the frame in 2011 and said it was "fine" and we have only driven the truck 40,000 miles since. They said to salvage the truck but it only has 127,000 miles on it!!!! case #[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The frame is 80% rotted through with rust. I'm sure it will be deemed unsafe to drive and unfortunately waiting any day for it to completely fall through. The bed is literally nosediving into the front body of the truck.

Vehicle had a recall for frame rusting out. The vehicle was bought to koon Toyota dealership in 2014 for the recall. They did a spray on the frame that was supposed to cure the rusting out on the frame. However the frame is still rusting out. I bought the vehicle to connacelli Toyota in springfield pa, and they do an inspection to find the frame not safe to drive on. Connacelli tells me there's nothing they can do because the time has expired on the recall. This I could understand if the vehicle never was serviced in the allotted time, but however it was serviced by koon Toyota and the remedy evidently did not solve the issue.

When pulling the vehicle into park on a roadside, the gear shift lever snapped and stopped working, making it unable to shift gears including putting the vehicle into park. Upon removing the cover over the steering wheel, it was obvious that the gear shift lever had indeed broken completely loose from the steering column.

Toyota has a recall on the truck frame that they won't do anything about. This truck has only 70000 miles on it. We took it to the dealership and they told us to call Toyota. We contacted Toyota and opened a claim and they told us there not doing anything at this time for that recall. The whole frame is rotten and is not safe to drive. We've done all the recalls they had for the frame and it still rotted out. Not sure how I can get this resolved with Toyota. The frame snapped on the front driver side. The frame snapped while driving around town.

Structure. 220,000 miles I tool it in for an oil change the tech calls me over to show me the rotted frame member's. I took it to tarbox Toyota in ri, they took pics and sent it to Toyota. They also told me I should not drive the vehicle. Toyota said no outstanding recall on it so I am out of luck. I was never notified of any recall except for the one listed to replace a rear chassis member which I had done. The killer is I have put $5000 into it over the last few years thinking I would have the truck for another 10 years...its only used occasionally. Now what do I do?

The spare tire carrier/hoist rusted causing the spare tire to fall off the truck while driving down the road.

Frame has corrosion & perforation. Dealer said it will not pass state inspection. This is even after the phase one & two resolutions performed on this truck in 2010. In 2011 the rear gas tank strap broke. In 2012 the spare tire fell off while entering the interstate. This corrosion is an ongoing issue ever since I bought it new in 2002. Toyota's campaign it resolve this issue is nothing more than a bandaid to bide their time further down the road. I contacted Toyota, 4/2017 and they said the campaign to "fix" this is over. So, I guess I am stuck with it.
