VEHICLE'S FRAME IS RUSTING AND FLAKING APART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PER THEIR LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO APPLY A CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND. ONE YEAR LATER THAT COMPOUND IS STARTING TO FALL OFF AS THE RUST BENEATH IT LETS LOOSE. SINCE THERE IS PHYSICALLY LESS FRAME MATERIAL THAN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BUILT I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE WOULD SUFFER CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE IN A COLLISION AS THE THE STRENGTH OF THE FRAME HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I AM ALSO CONCEREND THAT THE VEHICLE COULD LOOSE CONTROL IF THE FRAME FAILS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER ENCOUNTERING A LARGE POTHOLE. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE RUST HAS AGGRESSIVELY ATTACKED THE MANY WELDS ON THIS FRAME AND WEEKEND THE JOINTS. WHILE THE MANUFACTURER DID MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO COAT THE FRAME AND HIDE THE RUST THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES ON THE INTERIOR OF THE FRAME THAT RECIEVED NO TREATMENT AT ALL. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE METAL FLAKING AWAY IN THOSE UNTREATED AREAS. TO HAVE SOME SURFACE RUST ON A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IS NORMAL BUT THIS PROBLEM IS WAY BEYOND SURFACE RUST. WHILE TOYOTA HAS AGREED TO REPLACE FRAMES WITH CONSIDERABLE SIZE HOLES I THINK THAT FRAMES LIKE MINE ARE BEING OVERLOOKED. RATHER THAN HAVE A SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE MY ENTIRE FRAME IS WEEKEND AND WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS THE COMPOUND THEY APPLIED IS FAILING TO STOP THE RUSTING. WHILE THE FRAME DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A HOLE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BASED ON THE FLAKING RUST. TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO OFFER ANY HELP WITH FUTURE HOLES BECAUSE THEY SPRAYED THE

MY TRUCK FRAME IS RUSTING ABNORMALLY. TOYOTAS OFFICIAL INSPECTION FOUND NO HOLES >10MM.- NO FURTHER ACTION. THE FRAME IS BAD. THE CORROSION I WOULD GUESS IS SECONDARY TO BAD STEEL-NOT ENOUGH NICKEL? IS THERE A STANDARD FOR STEEL IN THIS APPLICATION? I NEED YOUR HELP. I CANT GET TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING ON MY OWN. MUCH SOONER THAN IT SHOULD THIS VEHICLE WILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I MEAN A WELL MAINTAINED CAR (WHICH THIS IS) SHOULDNT BE HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I MEAN THE FRAME IS ROTTING AWAY. SOMETHING VERY WRONG FROM THE BEGINNING. DANA MFG.? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WARRANTY AND LIMITS OF LIABILITY. THIS TRUCK CAME OFF THE LINE DEFECTIVE. IT JUST TOOK A WHILE TO SHOW. APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION AND ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY PROVIDE.

STEERING GOT VERY STIFF AND I HAD TROUBLE OPERATION THE VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. ONCE I GOT THE TRUCK TO THE ROADSIDE I CHECKED FOR A FLAT TIRE, BROKEN POWER STEERING BELT AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION. EVERYTHING WAS OK, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL VERY HAD TO TURN. I HAD THE TRUCKS STEERING CHECKED OUT AND THE U JOINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING COLUMN HAD SIZED UP. TOYOTA PART NUMBER 4520304020 INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SHOULD DO A RECALL TO COVER THIS. THE PROBLEM COMES ON SUDDENLY AND YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

NOISE AND VIBRATION PRESENT TOWARDS FRONT OF VEHICLE, CONSISTENT WITH FRONT, SEALED WHEEL BEARING FAILURE, THAT INCREASED OVER TIME AND WITH INCREASED SPEED. WITH TOTAL FAILURE, THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR NECESSARY REPLACEMENT OF THE BEARING.

IN REFERENCE TO U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CASE NUMBER: 1:14-CV-02208 I CURRENTLY OWN A 05 TACOMA THAT HAS THE FRAME RUSTED COMPLETELY, I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA REPEATEDLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE DENYING TO FIX THIS BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER IN THE USA.

2005 TOYOTA TACOMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRAME EXCESSIVE RUSTING RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED TOYOTA DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEEL USED ON THE FRAMES OF THE TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCKS.

I HAD COMPLETE FAILURE TO MY RACK AND PINION STEERING DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION TO THE COMPONENT. I WAS PULLING INTO A BUSINESS DOING ABOUT 10 MPH AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I CHECKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND ON THE GROUND WAS A PUDDLE OF STEERING FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND WHEN HE EXAMINED THE TRUCK TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION HAD COMPLETED ROTTED OUT AND BROKE. I ALSO HAD HIM CHECK THE FRAME ON MY TRUCK, SINCE I RECEIVED A TSB BULLETIN ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE CORROSION DUE TO NOT ENOUGH FRAME UNDERCOATING BEING APPLIED IN COLD STATES. HE FOUND A LARGE HOLE BEHIND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN THE FRAME. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE REST OF THE FRAME AND FOUND SOME SMALLER PERFORATIONS AS WELL. MY QUESTIONS IS IF THE FRAME IS BEGINNING TO ROT AND THEY ARE SELECTIVELY REPLACING THE FRAMES OR VEHICLE IF THEY ARE A DANGER, WHY ARE NO OTHER COMPONENTS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THESE FAILING PARTS COVERED AS WELL AND FAILING DUE TO EXCESSIVE ROT OR RUSTING. IF ANY OF THESE COMPONENTS FAILED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING TO ALL INVOLVED, POSSIBLY LEADING TO SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. SOMETHING MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES THEY PRODUCE AND THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO OWN AND OPERATE THEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STOP

TOYOTA SENT ME A LIMITED SERVICE NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT MY TRUCK MAY HAVE MORE THAN NORMAL CORROSION ON THE FRAME. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT IT AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS MORE THAN A NORMAL AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON MY FRAME. IN FACT THEY SAID THEY PUNCHED A HOLE IN MY FRAME WHILE PERFORMING THE TEST. LATER THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD ONLY COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE FRAME AND LIMITED COMPONENTS, AND IF CERTAIN ITEMS BREAK (LIKE SHOCKS, CALIPERS, MUFFLERS, ETC.) DURING THE REPLACEMENT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER THESE ITEMS. I WAS TOLD THESE COSTS COULD BE AS HIGH AS $1,500. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR, LEAVING ME WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO COMMUTE IN. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER ALL OF THESE ITEMS.

THE STEERING IN MY TOYOTA TACOMA BEGAN TO BIND SUDDENLY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT.
