Upon inspection of truck for oil leak, found that right side frame rail was severly rusted/rotted near where the sway bar mount is attached to the frame. Bracket for sway bar has separated from frame, and multiple holes (from corrosion) exist on the bottom of the frame rails. I took truck to dealer who informed me that the "limited service campaign" expired July 31, 2015, and that my truck was covered, but the previous owner never took it in for inspection. Called Toyota corporate customer service and was escalated to specialized case manager. I gave them the history of the truck, that I bought it in October 2015, and that it was dealer servcied in 2013 and 2014 - but the dealer never checked the frame.Toyota has denied the claim saying they will take no further action - even though this is a known issue, and now a safety concern.

Frame rot and rust. The gas tank fell out from under the truck while driving down the road (city street), the brackets holding the tank completely rusted in two. This happen after the frame protect spray was applied to the truck by the dealer 2 years ago. The frame is a mess, I'm worried about driving this truck because of it but I also can't trade it in because no one wants it. I'm happy to send pictures if needed.

Hello, the frame on my 2004 Toyota Tundra has begun to rust. Toyota sent out a recall on my vehicle that I never received. When I took this to Toyota they stated that my recall had expired one month prior in August 2015. This is unacceptable. They know they have issues with the frames on the trucks rusting. The Toyota Tacoma first now the Tundra. This is my only vehicle and Toyota is refusing to repair the frame.

The entire frame and under side of the truck to include brackets, cables, fittings, and exhaust are so rusted and flaking off that I'm concerned that the truck may break apart driving down the road. I bought the truck used from lowe Toyota in warner robins, ga and had no idea that the truck was a rusted out disaster waiting for a place to happen !!
