I had routine maintenance done and i was told that my frame has rust holes rotted through it. It is unsafe to put a load in the truck and will soon be unsafe to drive at all. *tr

I own a 2000 toyota tundra, which i feel is unsafe for the road due to excessive frame rot. This truck's frame has to be the worst case of frame rot i've ever seen. Far worse than i've seen on any toyota tacoma that was recalled. But, for some reason toyota doesn't seem to want to step up to the plate on these trucks. Unfortunately for me, i won't be able to pass a state inspection at the end of this month. So that…

Our 2000 toyota tundra (with ~60,000 miles) was parked it in my relatives driveway on 10/18/09. When we went to drive it out of my aunt's driveway on 10/18/09, she started yelling, "stop, something is leaking!" looked at the front drivers brake line and saw a hole that was pushing out brake fluid with high pressure when brakes were applied. Thankfully, the brakes failed in the driveway instead of on route 2 between…

Frame is excessively rusted. At the frame member where the rear leaf spring is attached the frame is flaking and separating. It looks like the frame member will brake loose any time separating the leaf spring from the frame. *tr

I have even gone so far as to install a safety tether for my spare tire as the bracket for the spare looks as if its going to break…

I went to the dealer in january…
