My 2000 toyota tundra was in for a state inspection and failed due to the multiple cracks in the truck frame.

I learned on the toyota website that my 2000 toyota tundra was recalled to check for severe corrosion of the rear cross member. My truck failed the test and i was told it was not safe to drive. The dealer provided a rental car but has no plan for repairing the tundras or for compensating the owners. I was told the dealer would hold the tundra until toyota provides an answer. *tr

2000 toyota tundra. The frame is rusting underneith the car. Toyota acknowledges this is a problem and shouldn't be happening, but will not fix the issue. Truck will not pass inspection at this time. We are looking at having to pay for this defect out of our own pocket because toyota will not take responsibility.

The rust on my 2000 tundra extends to more than just the rear cross member that my local dealer reported and toyota is willing to replace. I looked under the truck today and a lot of the front end is rusted away. The steering rack has rusted to the point of having a hole in it that pumps power steering fluid onto the road. Very dangerous. *tr
