Severe frame rust on 20000 toyota tundra. I had this inspected last year and they said toyota did not have anything in place to prevent the frame from rusting. The truck was in for wheel alignment and now i am told they can no longer align the vehicle because of the rust and structural defect from the rust. The dealer says toyota does not pay to "derust" the frame but will inspect until the rust recall ends in…

I bought my 2000 tundra new in 1999. The frame is rusting beyond normal limits and i am afraid to drive it. I have had it checked by toyota and they told me that if they hit the frame with a hammer and the hammer does not go through the frame then it's ok. I don't agree with that. *tr

Our 2000 toyota tundra has developed frame rust. In 2005 we noticed the condition of the frame deteriorating, so we took it to a local dealer here in south florida. They explained it would cost a lot of money to fix, more than we could afford. Toyota issued a "voluntary recall" last year that covers my make and model truck, which a couple of independent body shops (including one partnered with toyota) says is now…
