The frame and truck bed have severe rust issues. The truck bed is shacking now when driving. The frame was "sprayed" when I bought the car to the dealer. I brought the car to Toyota dealership on winchester road they have noticed a lot of rust on the frame and on the truck bed and advice me to rid of the car because they cannot do nothing about it even trade for another car. I had the truck inspected by my mechanic before I bought and the car seems to be ok. Late on another mechanic pointed out severe. Toyota dealerships inspect the truck and said that it was unsafe to drive. I have to figure out how mysefl how to get a new frame and a new truck bed because I do not know what to do or who to contact. My mechanic advice me to contact NHTSA.
Toyota Tundra frame corroded. There is a baseball sized hole in my frame and Toyota was notified of it and denied that is was their responsibility to repair issues related to improper anti corrosion treatment during manufacturing. They stated they had a campaign to resolve this issue but I was not notified by phone, fax, mail, email, or any other means.
My gas tank strap rotted off my frame causing my full gas tank to almost fall out. My frame rotted very bad also. I know there were recalls concerning this issue but I'm not sure if they were done to mine. I've only had the truck for three months what do I do?
The recall on my 2007 Toyota Tundra for rusted frame was inspected by the dealer who said they would spray it with rust prohibitive. I was a mechanic for many years and if the frame is not stripped down and sandblasted to metal there is no guaranteed method to stop the rusting. Toyota should be made to replace all the frames otherwise in a few years there will be more broken frames on the roads. I don't know if your office was involved in the class action suite but I am reasonable sure lawyers and judges no nothing of mechanics or engineering. I plan of keeping my truck for many more years and if the frame fails then I will getting legal counsel for a recourse to some entity be it government or commercial. If you all take your jobs seriously than this needs to be resolved soonest before Toyota are falling apart on the highways and killing people. They made the error and they should pay for it not us!!!!

My 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 has a very bad frame and under body rust issue (I have multiple pictures and videos I can provide). Last August, I found out on a Toyota forum that there is a recall/class action settlement for this issue www.toyotaframesettlement.com I have contacted Toyota coorporate on (or around) 08/03/2018 (incident: 180803-000275) for more information and asked where I should take my truck for inspection. I was told they can't help because my truck was built (of configured) for the Canadian market. I contacted Toyota Canada (1-888-869-6828) and was told they can't help because I don't reside in Canada and the frame settlement is only for residents https://www.clg.org/class-action/list-of-class-actions/Toyota-rusty-frame-Canadian-class-action. I have already spent over $1500 worth of brake cables, tensioner and other rusted parts. I was told, this truck is very unsafe to drive. I have tried everything and nobody is listening. This situation is causing me a lot of sleepless nights and stress. I'm planning to contact my lawyer next week to discuss out options if there is no resolution. I can provide a recording of all my conversations with Toyota agents. Thanks,

I recently purchases a used 2007 Toyota Tundra double cab from a private party. I test drove the vehicle on ac pavement with no major issues, but upon purchasing and driving on my typical freeway commute traveling at normal speeds (55-70mph) it shakes violently. The shaking resonated at one point so violently that I lost control of the vehicle and had to drastically slow down to regain control. I am fearful of my safety and that of any passengers, especially my children. I have subsequently found forum information online that speaks to this "bed bounce" problem, and a relevant tsb from Toyota. However, I cannot find an official tsb from Toyota online or a genuine fix to the problem. Please help because I feel like I just bought a vehicle that is not safe to drive, and needless to say very angry that Toyota has not addressed this problem in full.
