We own a 2003 Toyota Tundra with 56,000 miles on it. Upon recent state inspection our mechanic said that the frame of this truck is so badly rusted that it probably wouldn't pass inspection next year. We called Toyota headquarters and were told that they are recording this information but there is a 36,000 mile, 3 year warranty on Toyota and that they could do nothing more for us.

The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Tundra. The contact noticed that the main frame of the vehicle was perforated due to severe rust corrosion. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they replaced the rusted fuel tank filler neck. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on a separate occasion. The technician detected a rusted brake backing plate, and the front and rear brakes were replaced. In addition, four new tires were mounted on the vehicle. The technician was unable to perform a tire alignment due to the significant frame damage. The VIN was unable to be entered into the system. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 62,000.

My 2003 Toyota Tundra with only 73000+ miles on it has significant rusting in the truck bed. The truck is not used for commercial purposes and is only used for periodically carrying normal household items. There is also signs of significant rusting underneath the truck. Since Toyota had a recall with certain Tacoma's for a similar condition, I am very concerned of the safety of this truck.

2003 Toyota Tundra has serious frame rot. The paint on the frame has bubbled up as the rust has proliferated leaving the entire frame in a compromised state. The rear axle and leaf springs are completely coated in rust. Driver's side rear drum brake locked up due to corrosion, which required replacing a tire and brake shoes. Vehicle has been dealer serviced since day one, with the exception of oil changes.

I purchased a brand new 2003 Toyota Tundra pickup truck, , from a local dealer on December 2, 2002. On 9/9/05, I discovered various sections of the frame and brackets that attach to the frame had excessive corrosion. The vehicle at this time had 37,488 miles on the odometer. Today the mileage is 47,569 miles and the rust condition is getting worse. I brought this condition to the service advisor at this dealership and he concurred that the vehicle had excessive corrosion. I contacted Toyota customer service and spoke with a rep who gave me case number 200509090921. Both the local dealership and Toyota motor Corp. Refused to repair the excessive corrosion. Due to this condition, this will continue to develop and subsequently the truck will have frame rot, causing an unsafe condition to operate. In 2005, two independent autobody shops inspected my truck and gave me estimates to repair the rust.
