I am the owner of a 2000 toyota tundra. The whole frame has rusted out. It failed inspection and now sits in my driveway. I brought it to the toyota dealer..they charged me $45.00, to tell me it could not be on the road, and it would cost me $12,500.00 to have it repaired. I called toyota in ca, got a case #..but they said there was nothing they could do. I still owe $5000.00 on a truck i can not drive. I did buy…

2000 toyota tundra: mechanically sound, body looks good, frame is falling apart! These frames are failing way too fast just like the tacomas that have been taken off the road. We all know the frames came from the same manufacturer so its time to do something for us 1st generation tundra owners. *tr

They said it was not drivable. I called the irwin zone in laconia nh and they offered to help, we took the truck down they took pictures and then the gave me a official inspection form to sign saying they were not responsible for me…

I drive a toyota tundra 2000 sr5/trd which i purchased new from tarbox toyota. The frame rotted out all the way through causing separation over the rear drivers-side wheel. The rot caused the frame to break in half over that rear wheel. This has also caused my brakes to fail from loosing fluid. Toyota as well a professional welder has deemed my truck undrivable as well as unfixable. I have looked for compensation…

I own a 2000 tundra with 111,000 miles and it has a rotted out frame. I filed a complaint with toyota on 3/3/09 regarding this issue and got a case # but was told that they could only take down the information. I had gone in for my routine oil change but this time toyota put the truck on the lift and the frame crack in half...leaving me with a truck that was undrivable and costly to fix. Never the less toyota on rte…

During routine tune-up (tire rotation, oil change, check fluids, etc) my mechanic informed me of a serious rust condition affecting the frame of my 2000 toyota tundra. He noted it was similar to tacomas he had worked on. I was advised to contact toyota immediately. Toyota dismissed my concern by simply stating it was 'out of warranty. The vehicle has 38,000 miles on it. Excellent condition otherwise. Significant…

The underside of the vehicle has shown extreme rusting, especially the brake system which has failed twice due to corrosion. During the most recent brake failure i could not stop the vehicle while descending a hill and downshifted the…

I asked a local service station about adding a trailer hitch. After inspecting my truck, they said the frame was so badly rusted, that a hitch was out of the question. In fact they said the truck was unsafe to drive. They advised me to contact toyota. I took my truck to the local toyota dealer and the service manager confirmed the frame was badly rusted. The service manager said he would make an appointment with a…

2000 limited toyota tundra has excessive frame rust. More than i've ever seen on a vehicle that was not in a junkyard. No serious incidents have occurred thus far, but i am sure that this frame will fail soon. I noticed the problem about a year ago and have noticed that the problem has gotten exponentially worse in that time. *tr

I have a 2000 toyota tundra that has only 85,000 miles on it and the frame is severely rusting away. Approx four months ago my neighbor called me and asks if i lost my spare tire. After investigating it was apparent it was mine the metal support plate completely rusted away from under my truck. I was lucky; i was not towing my trailer or on the highway, this could have been a bad experience. This is a disaster…

The brake line tubing at the proportioning valve on the left rear inside frame rail corroded and burst causing all brake fluid to escape and the brake pedal went to the floor and made the vehicle difficult to stop. I was traveling close to home at a speed of approximately 25 mph. I down shifted and was able to slow to 5mph to drive the vehicle to my home garage where i replaced the tubing,fluid and bled the brakes.…

Low mileage (72k) 2000 tundra with extensive frame rust and rot in cross members. Spare tire almost fell off due to rot in supports, which tipped me off on how bad things were getting. Poked my finger right through the cross member the spare hangs from. The factory paint on even flat surfaces of the frame is flaking off with 1/8 of an inch of rusty metal attached. Primary concern is pending failure of the l-shaped…

No incident yet. However, the frame on my 2000 toyota tundra is rusted well beyond normal wear and tear. It is at least twice as bad as the tacomas from the same year being recalled. I worry that it will not pass inspection. Toyota has been zero help with the issue (corporate and the local dealership/service manager would not even look at it). I have taken it to a body shop and they gave me an estimate of $1300 to…

The frame of my pickup truck is rusting away prematurely. Some of the components of the frame have deteriorated so badly that i don't know if the vehicle will make it through another new england winter without some sort of catastrophic failure. The vehicle has always been properly maintained and is otherwise in very good condition. I am the original owner, purchased new in jan. 2001. Current mileage 81200. *tr
