TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME SUPPORT THAT HOLDS THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR FRACTURED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. HOSELTON TOYOTA LOCATED AT 50 MARSH RD, EAST ROCHESTER, NY 14445, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD STARTED TO WEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, AFTER COMPLETING A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE INSPECTED NOR DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED IN, AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V013000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

I HAVE A LOT OF FRAME RUST. I HAVE READ THAT MANY HAVE SAME ISSUE. NO ONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FRAMES HAVE RUSTED COMPLETELY AND ARE NOT USABLE. *TR

FRAME IS RUSTING AWAY IN DIFFERENT AREAS. CANNOT ATTACH A TOW HITCH SINCE THE RUST IS MAKING THE WHOLE TAIL END BRITTLE. DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ENTIRE FRAME WILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR RECENTLY BUT IT WAS USED UP UNTIL 2016 IN NORTH STATES WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE. *TR

HANDED DOWN 2006 TUNDRA TO MY SON, HE TOOK IT IN FOR SMALL LEAK AND THE MECHANIC SAID FRAME WAS RUSTED SO BAD THERE WERE HOLES IN IT!! WE HAD THE "RECALL" WORK DONE IN 2015. WE WERE NEVER OFFERED A NEW FRAME, THEY SAID WE ONLY NEEDED THE SPRAY. NOW 5 YRS LATER WE CAN'T EVEN LET OUR SON DRIVE HIS OWN TRUCK!! IT HAS 230,000 MILES. STILL ALOT OF MILES LEFT AND THE BODY HAS SOME MINOR BLEMISHES BUT IN GOOD CONDITION. DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES RIGHT NOW, JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. CALLED TOYOTA RESOLUTION LINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO!! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS BC WE DID WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AND THEY AREN'T EVEN LIVING UP TO THEIR OWN "FIX"!! CANNOT AFFORD A NEW FRAME FOR MY SON RIGHT NOW! NEED HELP OR GUIDANCE WITH THIS! *TR

ANTI RUST COATING WAS APPLIED IN 2016 AS PART OF A RECALL- COATING WAS NOT PROPERLY APPLIED AND MOISTURE GOT UNDERNEATH. NOW, 2020, MOST OF THE COATING HAS PEELED OFF, REVEALING A 3 INCH HOLE IN MY FRAME AND A COMEPLETLEY BROKEN CROSS MEMBER NEAR THE GAS TANK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT ROYOTA WOULD COVER UP THIS PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND NOT REPLACE ALL FRAMES. THIS IS NOT SAFE. MY TRUCK RUNS AMAZING, AND ONLY HAS 105000 MILES ON IT. I EXPECT SOMETHING TO BE DONE!

3 INCH HOLE IN FRAME NEAR REAR WHEEL, AND CRACKED CROSS MEMBER. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 105000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. JUST PURCHASED USED FROM DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. FRAME HAS BEEN UNDER COATED AND THIS STILL HAS HAPPENED.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RUSTING FRAME. *LD IN 2015 CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SULLIVAN BROTHERS TOYOTA (KINGSTON, MA) AND THE FRAME WAS SPRAYED WITH RUST INHIBITOR. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER IN DECEMBER 2019 TO HAVE FRAME INSPECTED. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS SOME SURFACE RUST THAT WAS NO THREAT TO VEHICLE. ON 01/06/2020 A BRAKE LINE BROKE AND VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE THE FRAME WAS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH. HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE GAS TANK WAS WIRED TO THE FRAME. CONSUMER SAYS THAT HE WAS NOT INFORMED WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED, BUT DEALER REFERRED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER. MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. *DL

I HAVE A ROTTING FRAME EVEN AFTER THE CRC TREATMENT WAS APPLIED FROM TOYOTA. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THE FRAME RUST ISSUE BUT IT ONLY LOCKS IN THE MOISTURE AND CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THE FRAME REPLACEMENT DUE TO THIS CRC APPLICATION EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY TOYOTA TUNDRAS, TACOMAS, AND SEQUOIAS DRIVING AROUND WITH FRAMES FALLING APART. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALSO FOR OTHER MOTORISTS.

ROCKER PANELS UNDER THE DOORS ROTTED OUT VERY FAST. THE FACTORY BED LINER ALSO CAUSED PREMATURE RUST HOLES TO FORM IN THE BOX. DEBRIS CAN NOW FALL OUT OF THE BOX FROM THESE WHEN IN TRANSIT.

TIRE SIDE WALL BLOWOUT FAILURE . I HAVE HAD 2 OF 4 NEW COOPER TIRES FAIL WITHIN THE LAST 4 WEEKS . ONE ON THE HWY. AT LOW SPEED AND ONE SITING IN MY SHOP BOTH WERE PROPERLY INFLATED .SIZE AND TYPE COOPER DISCOVERY SRX 265/65R17 A 50% FAILURE RATE IS NOT THAT GOOD TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 2000. MILES ON THEM

STRUCTURAL FRAME RUSTED THROUGH. TOYOTA DEALER SPRAYED FRAME IN 2014 AND SAID THE FRAME WOULD BE FINE AS OF FOUR YEARS AGO THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE. SOME STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS ALSO ROTTED ON THE FRAME. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WITH THE DEALER IT'S FRUSTRATING AND NON-PRODUCTIVE .WHEN THE DEALER SPRAYED THE FRAME THEY FAILED TO PLUG ALL THE HOLES IN THE FRAME. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO ADDITIVE OR SEALER THAT THE DEALER SPRAYED ON THE FRAME IT HAS ALL WASHED AWAY. I CAN ACTUALLY PLACE FOUR FINGERS THRU THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2017 WHEN I FIRST NOTICE THE ROT.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED FRAME AND TRAILER HITCH WAS RUSTED.*JB

FRAME RUSTED, TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE. NEVER SENT ME INSPECTION NOTICE, THEY SAY I MISSED MY OPPORTUNITY. NOT HAPPY, DISABLED AND ONLY TRANSPORTATION. COVERED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V741000 (AIR BAGS) AND INQUIRED OF MANUFACTURER AND DEALER RESPOSNIBILITY IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL REMEDY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN AIR BAG RECALL AT AN UNKNOWN DEALER HOWEVER, HE WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIRS AS THE DEALER LEFT ADHESIVE GLUE VISIBLE ON THE DASHBOARD AND PANELING THAT WAS REMOVED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR AT TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WHOM INFORMED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHCILE TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE CURRENT RECALL REMEDY HOWEVER IT WAS NOT GUARANTEED THAT TOYOTA WOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AS IT WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

SEVERE RUST CORROSION IN ONE SPOT OF FRAME ON DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY MAINTENANCE MECHANIC AND HE BROUGHT ME IN TO SEE IT MYSELF WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UP ON THE LIFT.

THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE FRAMES ON TUNDRAS RUSTING. MY WAS NOT REPLACED, IT WAS JUST UNDERCOATED. THE FRAME IS RUSTING UNDER THE COATING AND THE COATING IS FALLING OFF. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ALSO CALLED TOYOTA. BOTH WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THE FRAME FAILED BUT TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA, WITCH I DID. TOYOTA TOLD ME THE TIME HAD RUN OUT ON THAT RECALL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY AND SHOULD HAVE HAD A FRAME REPLACMENT.

THE FRAME ON THIS 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF MAKING THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS DEGRADATION HAS HAPPENED FAR SOONER THAN THE EXPECTED RETIREMENT AGE FOR THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS NOT INCLUDED THIS FRAME AS PART OF IT'S FRAME ROT RECALL WHICH APPLIES TO MANY OTHER FRAMES FROM SIMILAR YEARS.

THIS VEHICLE HAD THE FRAME RECALL DONE BY A LOCAL DEALER - TOYOTA OF NASHUA IN NASHUA, NH - AND THE DEALER PERFORMED THE UNDERCOATING REMEDY POORLY, AND NOT PER THE GUIDELINES OF THE RECALL. WITHIN A YEAR THE UNDERCOATING STARTED FLAKING OFF, AND I NOW HAVE A 2-3" HOLE IN THE FRAME, CAUSED BY RUST. RECALL UNDERCOATING WAS DONE IN 2014. DEALER IS TELLING ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, TOYOTA IS TELLING ME THE SAME THING. THEY'RE LETTING ME DEAL WITH MY OWN RUSTED FRAME THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT RUST ACCUMULATION ON THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE RUST UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE AND WARNED THE CONTACT THAT IT COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIAL SAFETY DEFECT. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH WAITE TOYOTA (18406 US-11, WATERTOWN, NY 13601) AND THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

FRONT BALL JOINT BROKE IN HALF WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT

I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MILLER TOYOTA DEALER AT 1331 N. EUCLID ST, ANAHEIM, CA 92801 ON NOV-26, 2019. AND THEY STATED THAT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAVE THE PART, WOULD TAKE COUPLE DAYS. SINCE, I SEVERAL TIMES, TEXTED, EMAILS AND LEFT VOICE MAILS FOR WHEN THEY HAVE PART, BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM SINCE.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA PURCHASED NEW FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN CENTRAL PA; ONE OWNER. CUSTOMER PURCHASED DEALER OFFERED UNDERCOATING DUE TO KNOWN CLIMATE CONDITIONS OF CENTRAL PA IN ORDER TO PREVENT UNDERCARRIAGE CORROSION. SAME DEALERSHIP (UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP) CARRIED OUT CORROSION INSPECTION CAMPAIGN IN 2015; DEALER CONCLUSION-APPLY ADDITIONAL CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND TO FRAME (DID THEY ACTUALLY APPLY ANYTHING?). PA INSPECTION AT INDEPENDENT GARAGE IN 2019 FAILED FOR FRAME CORROSION (BUT NO PERFORATIONS?). VEHICLE TAKEN TO PLACE OF PURCHASE TO REPEAT INSPECTION; DEALERSHIP ALSO FAILED VEHICLE FOR PA INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME CORROSION; SUGGESTED SENDING IT TO ADDITIONAL TOYOTA DEALERS FOR ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS AND TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE. (NOTE-FAILED AREAS AND OTHER INSPECTION AREAS ARE NOW COMPLETELY DEVOID OF CORROSION PROTECTION DUE TO REMOVAL BY INSPECTION MECHANICS). CALLED TOYOTA CORP., THEY CAN'T/WON'T HELP. SUPERVISOR TO CALL BACK. SO FAR, TOYOTA WILL NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THERE ARE 100 YEAR OLD FORD MODEL T'S ON THE ROAD WITH FRAMES THAT ARE PERFECTLY HEALTHY IN PA, BUT A PIECE OF JUNK MADE IN THE USA (WHICH HAS BEEN LESS THAN USELESS FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS), FOREIGN OWNED CORP.,13 YEAR TOYOTA IS SCRAP!!! OBSOLESCENCE AND SECOND CLASS CITIZENSHIP CONSUMER PRODUCTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND MEANT ONLY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS TO EXPERIENCE! FAILURE AT 106,000 MILES.

2006 TUNDRA WITH ~150K MILES HAS DEVELOPED A BROKEN FRAME. BREAK IS IN THE RIGHT FRAME RAIL STARTING JUST BEHIND THE SWAY BAR AND EXTENDS ROUGHLY 10" BACK ALMOST TO THE SWAY BAR MOUNT. THIS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED WITH A FRAME UNDERCOATING IN A 'LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN' IN JULY 1015.*DT*JB

MY 2006 TUNDRA HAS A HOLE IN THE FRAME DUE TO RUSTING OUT WHICH HAS MADE THE PASSENGER SIDE SWAY BAR TO COME DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. TOYOTA ADVISED ME THIS MODEL YEAR IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL FOR THE KNOWN FRAME RUST ISSUE WITH TOYOTA TRUCKS AND REFUSES TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE WHEN TOYOTA IS FULLY AWARE OF THE FRAME ISSUE. TOYOTA CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE FRAME ON MY O6 TUNDRA IS DETERIORATED BADLY TIRE SHOP WOULDN'T PERFORM WORK REQUESTED. MY QUESTION IS YOU SEND RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS ETC. FOR THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ON THE ROADS SAFETY. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS THEY WERE WITH MANY OTHER MODELS. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT. UPON TAKING MY 2006 TUNDRA TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO GET IT FIXED THEY INFORMED ME THE FRAME HAD A HOLE IN IT AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SERVICEABLE. IT APPEARS MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR MULTIPLE MODELS WERE ISSUED BUT NOT 2005 AND 2006. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TOYOTA SHOULD LOOK AT AND EXTEND THE RECALL TO THESE VEHICLES.

INFORMED THAT FRAME HAS DEVELOPED RUST ISSUES. VEHICLE WAS COATED BY DEALER IN 2014 WITH CORROSION RESISTANT COMPOUND FOLLOWING A LETTER INDICATING TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.TODAY MY MECHANIC FOLLOWING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SHOWED ME THE RUSTING FRAME.10/24/19. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THOMPSON TOYOTA SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS YEARS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS INFORMED IT'S NOT COVERED. IT IS UPSETTING THAT PREVIOUS YEARS WERE COVERED AND SEQUOIA MODELS ARE COVERED. .

VISIBLE CRACK IN FRAME ON THE "C" WHERE IT MEETS THE FRONT AXLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION ON THE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DISCOVERED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF RUST, OVER TIME, THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNABLE TO BE PLACED ON A LIFT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT A CORROSION SEALANT WAS PLACED ON THE FRAME; HOWEVER, THE CORROSION OVERPOWERED THE SEALANT APPLICATION. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR RUST UNDERNEATH AND WAS SPRAYED WITH UNDER COATING AT THAT TIME. THERE IS A LOT OF RUST POPPING THROUGH WHERE THE BOLTS HOLD THE BED TO THE FRAME. RUST IS COMING THROUGH SEVERAL PLACES INCLUDING THE BED FRAME BOLTS NEXT TO THE CAB. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT TOYOTA CAN DO, SINCE THIS STARTED WITH A RECALL? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING SYSTEM. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN LEAVING A STORE PARKING LOT. WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE BY USING EMERGENCY BRAKE. NOTICED A RUPTURED SOLID BRAKE LINE UNDER DRIVERS SIDE RUNNING TOWARDS REAR OF VEHICLE. ALL BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE FROM MASTER CYLINDER WHEN CHECKED. ALSO NOTED A LOT OF CORROSION ON FRAME, BRAKE LINES, AND OTHER PARTS OF UNDERCARRIAGE. FRAME WAS PREVIOUSLY COATED AS PART OF RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC. HAD TO HAVE TWO SOLID BRAKE LINES REPLACED ALONG WITH REAR BRAKE SHOES AND DRUMS. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THIS HAPPENED AT SPEED OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

MY 2006 TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4.7L LIMITED 4WD HAS A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE CUT ON THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THE CUT STARTS ON THE FRAME FROM THE BRACKET HOLDING THE SWAY BAR LINK BACK TO THE CROSSMEMBER FRAME. THIS RUST IS SPREADING AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY COMMUTE VEHICLE AND I LIVE IN A NORTHERN REGION OF THE US WHERE SALT IS USED ON ROADS DURING THE WINTER. THE VEHICLE HISTORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN FROM THE NORTHERN REGION. PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING A FRAME RECALL OR REPLACEMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

EXCESSIVE FRAME CORROSION ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. LARGE PIECES OF METAL FLAKE OFF FROM RUST ON THE ENTIRETY OF THE FRAME.

PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED AND WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED BY TOYOTA WHICH FOUND CORROSION AND RUST HOLES IN BOTH CROSS MEMBERS HOLDING THE GAS TANK AND SPARE TIRE. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I WAS TOLD TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE. RECALLS ARE FOR THE 2000-2003 TUNDRA LEAVING THE 2004-2006 OWNERS OUT OF LUCK. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE MODEL YEARS WERE LEFT OUT GIVEN IT'S THE SAME FRAME AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. PLEASE HELP THESE OWNERS.

THE FRAME WAS SPRAYED A FEW YEARS BACK FOR A RUST RECALL. THE SPRAY DID NOT HELP AND AFTER BRINGING MY TRUCK TO THE MECHANIC FOR MAINTENANCE, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE RUST HAS NOW CAUSED HOLES IN THE FRAME AND IT IS BEGINNING TO SEPARATE AT THE WELD. THE BRAKE LINES ARE ALSO ABOUT TO POP.

A FEW YEARS BACK HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR THE FRAME RECALL. UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS QUITE RUSTY AND WAS HOPING FOR A NEW FRAME TO BE PUT ON. INSTEAD, WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FOR MY TRUCK. INSTEAD, THE FRAME WAS TO BE "UNDERCOATED" TO PROTECT THE TRUCK FROM FURTHER RUST. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE CURRENT PROCEDURE FROM TOYOTA, AT THAT TIME, WAS TO ONLY UNDERCOAT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK AND NOT THE ENTIRE FRAME. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE UNDERCOATING ENTIRE FRAME WHICH THEY DID DO. AFTER GETTING TRUCK BACK FROM DEALERSHIP LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT ENTIRE FRAME WAS SPRAYED WITH SOME FORM OF BLACK MATERIAL. NOW THIS UNDERCOATING IS PEELING OFF AND THE FRAME IS RUSTING AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE TRUCK WAS AT DEALERSHIP HAVING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM TROUBLESHOT WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP ABOUT AIR BAG RECALL AND THAT RECALL WOULD BE DONE AT SAME TIME. PASSENGER AIR WAS REPLACED AT THIS TIME. AFTER TRUCK SAT A DEALERSHIP FOR EXTENDED PERIOD EVENTUALLY GOT TRUCK BACK. EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS TO A YEAR STARTED NOTICING AN ODD APPEARANCE ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER. THIS AREA BEGAN HAVING A STICKY FEELING TO IT. PLACED A PAPER NAPKIN ON THE AIR BAG COVER AND HAD PART OF THE NAPKIN STICK TO THE COVER. DURING ONE OF THE RECENT HEAT SPELLS WITH THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK REACHING A HIGH TEMPERATURE DISCOVERED THAT THE AIR BAG COVER HAS BEEN SPRAY PAINTED TO MATCH INTERIOR COLOR OF TRUCK. THIS MAKES THAT AREA OF THE DASH LOOK DISGUSTING PLUS YOU CAN NO LONGER LAY AN OBJECT THERE WITHOUT IT GETTING STUCK TO THE DASH. AM ABLE TO PUSH PAINT AND SEE THAT ORIGINAL COLOR OF AIR BAG COVER IS BLACK.

WE HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED IN JUNE 2019 AFTER JUST DOING NEW BREAK LINES WHICH RUSTED, WE HAD ALSO JUST PUT NEW TIRES ON IT. TRUCK PASSED INSPECTION JUNE 2019. TRUCK DEVELOPED POWER STEERING LEAK IN JULY. WHILE LOOKING INTO THE LEAK WE NOTICED THE FRAME RUSTED AND THE ANTI SWAY BAR IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. CAN NOT TRADE THIS IN OR SELL IT NOW. MILEAGE 124K.

EXCESSIVE FRAME ROT ON MY 2006 TUNDRA. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE CORROSION COATING APPLIED BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE FRAME FROM ROTTING PREMATURELY. TWO YEARS LATER ALL THE COATING HAS PEELED OFF AND THE RUST HAS GOTTEN WAY WORSE. THE SAME YEAR SEQUOIAS HAVE THE SAME FRAME AND THEY WERE RECALLED. WHY HASN'T THE 2003-2006 TUNDRAS BEEN INCLUDED? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AN MUST BE RESOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF BROOKFIELD (20655 W. CAPITAL DR, BROOKFIELD, WI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE RUST AND CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

FRAME ROT ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. IN 2014, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM DCH WAPPINGERS FALLS TOYOTA (1349 U.S. 9, WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY 12590 (845) 206-0521) REGARDING A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THE MAINFRAME OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALER FOUND HOLES IN THE FRAME; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO MARBLE SIZE HOLES THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR A FRAME REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER DECIDED TO PLACE A CRC TREATMENT (BLACK CODING) OVER THE HOLES IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT MORE DAMAGE TO THE FRAME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK ON THE VEHICLE'S MAINFRAME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN THAT WAS LAUNCHED NO LONGER EXISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

I NOTICED THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, AND CHECKED ALL THE TIRES FOR PRESSURE, AND THEY WERE FINE, THEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE ROUND BAR THAT IS PART OF THE STEERING MECHANISM, HAD ACTUALLY PULLED COMPLETELY OUT OF THE FRAME DUE TO RUST, THIS TRUCK FRAME WAS SUPPOSEDLY TREATED IN 2014, AND OBVIOUSLY DID LITTLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, OF FRAME ROT. TOYOTA IS REPLACING FRAMES ON THE MAJORITY OF TUNDRA'S AND TACOMA'S, BUT NOT MY SPECIFIC YEAR. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS 2006 TUNDRA'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
