I put my Tacoma in reverse and heard a snap and clunk from front and rear. Front right suspension rusted through, broke and right rear shock. Local repair shop said rusted through, broke, they can't adjust caster setting on front alignment because nuts are rusted solid can't remove nuts. Pulls to the right, steering wheel is to right. Frame is also very rusted and might fail before too long. My wife and I took my Tacoma to Toyota dealer in 2010 to have $2,342.21 worth of services done. Repairs not done correctly and permanantly. We took it back twice and was told it would cost us $1,900 to replace condenser for leak. We paid $250 to have leak repaired to begin with other repeated charges. My online history says $520 to fix leak. Toyota service rep did nothing but try to overcharge and recharge us for repairs we paid for and refused to correct the repairs we paid for. Toyota dealer inspected my Tacoma frame and declared it good in 2010, refused to undercoat my frame. Three years latter 2010 in 2013 frame is extremely rusted. Toyota refuses to buyback or replace frame. We bought Tacoma in 1998 before frame rust program beginning in 2008. Second owner, never received recall or extended frame rust warranty letters. We were told there wasn't recall or anything else that need to be done in 2010. They new exactly how much money we had in the bank and tried too take every penny we had in the bank, refusing to provide excellent service repairs. We had to prepay for stainless steal exhaust. Toyota service rep. Put the old oxygen sensors back in charged us for one and said we would half to pay another $200 to $300 for another one.engine light came back on halfway home which is why we took it in for the first time. We paid for washer fluid wire repair which broke again in less than three years.we left Toyota dealer very angry in 2010 and had repairs fail.

He was informed other than surface rust, it was not bad enough to replace, as no holes or soft spots were found. Although, he did not take the vehicle back for a re-inspection, he was informed by a Toyota representatives that the truck would not fail another inspection and the frame was not bad enough to warrant a replacement. In 2011, the frame cracked and it was welded together. In August 2013, the frame split in half again. The consumer returned to the dealer, where they informed him, had he purchased the vehicle there, they may have been able to help him.

I noticed when I was filling up with gas that I was leaking gas where the filler tube had rusted away from the tank as well as the return fuel line. Then I noticed that my frame is cracked in front of the rear leaf springs, on both sides of the truck. After removing the fuel tank I realized that the entire rear frame is completely rusted away. Luckily I found this out before me and my family could have been killed due to the frame pre-maturely rusting out. I would think that this is a warranty issue...

My son heard from a co worker that Toyota had purchased his vehicle back due to frame rust. My son called Toyota and was informed that Toyota is no longer doing anything to check or fix bad frames.I looked under my vehicle and the frame seemed ok, so I continued using the vehicle.while driving the vehicle approximately nine months latter, I heard a banging noise like two pieces of metal were hitting.I got out of the vehicle and started looking around.I found the frame above the rear passenger wheel had broke thru due to rust.I called Toyota to find out why I was never sent a recall about this rusty frame problem.if I had received this notice, my self and other people's lives would not have been jeopardized. Toyotas reply was that they had sent a recall.with this I started checking different web sites on this matter, only to find out there are a lot of people with the same complaint, they never received a recall notice. I feel Toyota did not do what they should have in order to protect the safety of there customers and the public. If I was on the highway when this happened, people may have been killed.
