My 2000 toyota tundra sr5 v8 extended cab 4wd has an extreme amount of rust on the undercarriage. There are spots where small chunks of the frame or cross members are missing as well as places where it looks like you could poke your finger through. It has never been in salt water, it is meticulously maintained and detailed, and all winter long it is thoroughly washed weekly, including the undercarriage. The truck…

My 2000 toyota tundra sr5 has huge amounts of frame rust on the undercarriage. I live in new hampshire and we do get a lot of snow up here and road salt is used. I get my truck serviced at a local toyota dealership religiously (i had every piece of paperwork to prove this) and a year ago i mentioned this to my toyota dealer manager and he told me to contact toyota corp. I have tried to get answers several different…

Toyota tundra 2000 - in may of this year the vehicle was to have annual state inspection and did not pass due to extreme rusting condition of the frame. Mechanic said he could easily put a hammer through the frame it was in such bad condition and advised that the hitch was not safe to use. I bought this truck new and wanted to keep it. We had only 158,000 miles on it at the time of inspection so decided to have…

We own a 2000 toyota, in great shape except for the excessive rust/rot of the frame. We have taken it to our trusted auto mechanic who has advised us that the truck should be considered "totaled" and two separate auto body shops would not even touch it. The frame is cracked in two places, has holes all through it. We have tried to call toyota directly and they are simply telling us that the situation is under…

The frame of my 2000 toyota tundra is rusted out to the point of being unsafe to drive. Large, solid chunks of rusted steel come off by hand. Others pieces fall off onto the driveway when you close the door too hard. It's a shame, too because everything else runs great and i wanted to keep the truck to give to my son when he gets his license, but it is now a safety hazard, unfit to drive. *tr

My 2000 toyota tundra sr5 has huge amounts of frame rust on the undercarriage, including holes in the frame. This was found when i had my vehicle in for service and was informed when they tried to elevate the truck on the lift, the lift almost went through the frame. After further inspection, the auto mechanic found most of the frame was rusted and large chunks of rust were falling off the frame, as he was…

The bed of my truck has roughly 8-10 rust holes that all formed on top of the cross member supports. One hole formed over the bed bolt which has now rendered this bolt useless in holding down the bed. All rust came from under the bed and eventually made its way through. There seems to be a serious factory defect in the seem sealer that they used around the cross members. The sealer broke down which allowed moisture…

I own a 2000 tundra that i bought brand new. I've taken extremely good care of this truck the entire time i've owned it. The body is in mint condition, and shows no sign of rust. However, it has excessive frame rust for a vehicle that is not yet 9 years old. Metal on the frame is rusting and flaking off in large sheets. It is rusting way to soon, and much too quickly. I knew the truck was rusting prematurely, but…

I would like to know what toyota would be doing about the excessive rust under 2000(yr) toyota tundras. There was a major report about this in our local news cast (channel 5 in boston). I have been noticing a lot of rust on the frame of my truck and now i'm afraid i'll be stuck with huge repair bills! I, in good faith, purchased from toyota thinking i was going to get a quality vehicle only to find out that me and…

On 4/18/09 i was driving my 2000 tundra and my spare tire dropped to the road and rolled into on coming traffic. No one was hit. I made an appointment with local toyota service station and had frame inspected. Was told frame is not repairable. This was a shock to say the least, have been driving toyota's for 25 yrs. This could of been a real disaster if i had been on the highway. *tr
