The truck frame has failed due to rust. Dealer only inspected but did not clear the warranty recall because of liability. They refused to do the recall. The truck seems unsafe to drive but they said there is nothing they can do. I don't feel safe driving it or selling it to endanger someone else. The dealer confirmed the truck frame is rusted beyond repair. I was not aware how bad the frame was rusted until the dealer showed me.

The frame haas already been repaired, at the suggestion of my inspection mechanic. The whole frame is dangerously rusted. Now he says, -??get rid of it-?"it-??s dangerous to drive!-?? Another problem, the air bag fault light won-??t stay off! Parts in the steering column have been replaced, to no avail! Toyota did that work. No one knows if my air bag will work or not!

The frame is prematurely severely rotten and crumbling. This is a massive safety issue and needs to be brought to every Tundra owners attention. I have had it sprayed, but was only done for the back crossmember by Toyota. The other half is ready for a catastrophe in due time. There may be others in my situation and no way is a frame supposed to crumble without sitting in constant salt. Please, please, please help the other owners and make them aware if they haven't yet. The frame will buckle while driving and cause harm to others on the road. Mine has pieces as big as 12 by 8 come off. The Toyota dealership I have went to told me to keep an eye on it since the recall has lapsed.

I took my truck into a local dealership for a recall on the frame it was rusted. They said it didn't need to be replaced. So they undercoated it and all the undercoat fell off. They didn't undercoat the whole thing and now it's rusting even more. Don't know what to do.

The frame is rotting prematurely. There is multiple hole developing in a couple spots of the frame. Vehicle was at the garage for a brake job and while on the lift the mechanic noted the frame rot.

The entire frame is rusted - to my shock and I just failed inspection but the truck is gorgeous and runs great with all new tires. I'm currently low income and wonder how the frame recall was missed but the airbag was replaced. Please advise and thank you.

Every time I go on a trip that requires the truck to be running for longer then 20 min or so it begins to make a really loud grinding clunking sound and you can feel it. It's seemingly coming from the back and is associated with the moving of the tires. My buddy thinks it is the transmission box and that it is stuck between four wheel drive and reg. It also won't go out of four lot and four hi when I want it to.

We sent our truck for the insurance (progressive insurance) company to the garage for an alignment and they told us the front/right side of the frame is broke. Making the truck unsafe to drive.

My truck's frame has large, major rust perforation holes all over the frame and will soon need replacement. I feel that this will soon be a safety factor, as the frame is the only part of the vehicle that holds the truck in one piece when driving down the road. I'm afraid my frame will not protect me in a collision and that my truck may snap in half during normal driving conditions. Toyota corporate had me immediately bring the vehicle in to my local dealer for a frame inspection and the rust perforation was noted and verified, but Toyota corporate will not replace my frame because the areas specified in their current open recalls aren't as rusted as what would be normally deemed qualified for frame replacement. The condition of my frame is terrible and may be considered more dangerous soon, compared to what could happen to the frame concerns of the current recalls.

Steering column shift bracket broke in 3 places when trying to shift from park to drive, making shifting impossible. See pictures from 2 of 3 fracture locations, 3rd fracture is at an attachment screw (not shown). This is cause by an punderdesigned part made of inferior cast aluminum. There are thousands of reports of this problem on Tundra and other Toyota models with same defective bracket. This dangerous defect must be recalled and fixed by Toyota with a redesigned part.

Vehicle was on recall for rusted frame, two different occasions, for 2000-2004 and 2007 models. We brought truck in, they said it wasnt bad enough for a new frame, and did the coating. We got home and saw that the coating didn't cover all it should have. We brought it back a second time. Apparently it wasn't done properly as a stabilizer bar is rusted clean through and is hanging on by a thread. We bought the truck used at a dealership. What recourse do we have" can we get them to replace the frame now" they had it in their hands twice and didn't coat it well enough to keep it safe. Now I need a new frame. Otherwise the truck is in great condition, and we maintain it and care for it properly.

Takana recall // and Toyota recall

- Dallas, TX, USA

Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I had the frame inspection recall performed in 2012 and was told the frame is ok so they coated the frame with under coating. A few months later I was driving to work and hit a joint on the highway and ended up in the next lane. As I am in the business I put the vehicle in the air that evening and found the steering rack mount was detached from the frame due to rust. I then spoke to Toyota customer service and explained the situation and I was told to bring the vehicle back in and they would look at it. I was told again the frame is ok.. I did explain to the dealer that I had to wld a steel plate to the frame so the vehicle would be safe to drive. They still said the frame is ok and they would re spray the frame as a gesture for the inconvenience. I have made numerous calls and emails to Toyota since then because June of 2016 I found rust holes in the frame in 2 different spots.. there is a recall to replace the frame if there are perforations in the frame during the inspection. However I have been told several times they will not assist me any further on this situation. Thank you [xxx] [xxx]
