Extensive frame rust on the well maintained truck. It is mechanically excellent. The exhaust system is riddled with perforations end-to-end. The spare tire support rusted through and the wheel fell off on the highway somewhere (i hope it didn't cause damage). I hope nhtsa will ask toyota to step up on this. My local independent mechanic took a look at the frame on the lift and essentially refused to repair the…

Toyota 2000 tundra--extensive rust on the entire frame. Large thick flakes of rust have been falling off for two years. Significant rust-through perforation in frame. Clearly undermines structural integrity of the frame of the truck. It has had the underbody washed weekly since it was new. It has 72000 original one-owner miles. I don't feel safe driving this car because in the event of an impact the frame would…
