Last year i was driving my 2000 toyota tundra and heard a thud from the rear of my truck. I pulled over to discover my spare tire hanging from the supporting cable. Apparently, the support frame for the spare tire disintegrated from corrosion to the point where it could no longer support the weight of the spare tire and failed. Luckily the cable did not fail and kept the spare attached with the truck. After further…

Rust on the frame of my 2000 toyota tundra is excessive at and surrounding the area the bed is attached to as well as where the suspension attaches. The rust has not yet perforated the frame but large 1/8 inch thick flakes of rusty metal fall from the frame when touched lightly. I was told the rust will likely prevent the vehicle from passing nh state inspection this october. *tr

I have sent a letter and photos to toyota regarding the matter, they acknowledged the letter but…

2000 toyota tundra - the frame/undercarriage has major rust problems. My mechanic said it will not pass the next inspection and i should contact a toyota dealer about the problem. I feel tundras should be included in the buy-back that toyota is doing for the tacoma owners, since it has the same problem. If toyota wants to uphold its reputation, it needs to stand by its vehicles and their owners. *tr

I had to replace my power steering rack due to rust. This was done in july of 2008. When the service tech (actually all in shop) looked at it, they said they had never seen anything like it. The part was literally crumbling in their hands. Now in nov. Of 2009, i read that toyota is saying that this truck did not receive the proper rust protection when built. I am a long standing toyota owner. This i hoped to handled…

The spare time and sub frame fell right off the frame of the truck! My toyota dealership confirmed that the sub frame did indeed rust out but there was nothing they could do because the warranty had expired and recommended i…

Was driving at 65 mph on the highway and my spare tire that is mounted beneath the truck fell off and fortunately bounced off the road instead of into oncoming traffic. I inspected the frame in the area of the tire mount and found it to be almost entirely corroded. There is similar corrosion on the frame in the vicinity of the rear axle, however it is not quite as bad.*tr
