This vehicle had a recall because of the excessive rusting of the frame. I brought my truck in march of 2013 and was told the frame didn't need to be replaced but only needed to be "under coated" which they did. Shortly thereafter this "undercoating" started peeling off in large sheets. I brought the truck back to have it inspected and the local dealership confirmed that there was perforation of the frame. There is…

I have a 2000 toyota tundra and it has a problem that when the car gets hot the engine will stall out and die without warning. It creates no omd ii errors and the check engine light never appears. The ecm fuse blows on occasion but replacing it does not lead to a running vehicle. It fails to start until the engine compartment cools down. There is fire from the spark plugs and there is fuel pressure in the fuel rail.…

I have a 2000 toyota tundra which has had numerous problems with the front and rear brakes. The front brakes were "repaired" within the first 4,000 miles of driving but the front disc rotors continue to warp within 10-15,000 miles of additional "repairs". The rear brakes are frequently bathed in oil from leaking rear-ed seals caused, i'm told, by plugged rear-end vents. The vent has been cleaned or replaced and the…

Transmission feels like it binds after the initial stop. The truck will jerk forward as if it was hit from behind. *mr *nlm dimssii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis ---731059
