A mechanic verified this while he was under the truck replacing…

I have a 2000 toyota tundra with severe frame rusting. My local mechanic has discovered a through hole in the left frame rail and a dangerously thin left rear spring shackle support. I am concerned the frame could fail while driving and that the vehicle will not pass the state safety inspection. *tr

I recently noticed extensive frame rust on my toyota tundra. On september 28, 2009, i took it to the toyota dealer for a frame inspection. The inspection found significant rust and as a result of the inspection, the dealer determined that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. The dealer said there was nothing they could do about it since there had been no recall program or other action by toyota. The dealer did tell me…

I have a 2000 toyota tundra sr5 access cab 4wd pick up that has 131,000 miles. Failed the state safety inspection due to a rusted out crossmember in the rear of the vehicle. It was also pointed out to me the poor condition of the frame in many other areas. It is obvious toyota has a serious safety issue on their hands with frame rot. The tacoma's proved that. Why aren't they including these tundra's with the same…

Additional rust proofing was purchased at the time of purchase. Other than the rusting frame, the vehicle…

I found holes in the frame of my 2000 toyota tundra in 2007 and immediately brought it to toyota. They said it wasn't covered under warranty but to watch it and it wasn't a big issue to have a little rust (this was during the tacoma recall). Sept of 2008 i brought the truck in again since the rust was even worse they said again not a big issue but to keep an eye on it. In september of 2009 i was changing the oil and…

I noticed the spare tire dangling underneath the vehicle. When i lowered the tire i noticed that the entire cross brace had rusted out and left the spare tire held by a thin rusted piece of metal. I removed the tire and keep it in the back of the truck. If that tire broke away while driving at 65 miles an hour, it could easily have killed someone. *tr

Extreme rust on the frame and brake lines of my 2000 toyota tundra caused the brake line to leak, resulting in loss of braking ability. I was fortunate enough to not be in an accident and at my cost had the brake line replaced the very next day. This cost me around 120.00. I was also informed by the repair shop that the whole frame of my 2000 tundra is badly damaged by rust and could be considered unsafe as there…

On saturday the 5th of september 2009 while driving down the road the rear cross member that holds the spare tire completely broke in half from the rust. The spare tire was still attached to the crank that holds it in place. I…
