2001 toyota tundra. Severe amount of frame rust. Local oil change shops refuse to do an oil change because of fear of getting vehicle on lift and having it fall due to frame being so rusted. Toyota needs to fix these problems on all of their trucks. This is a major safety concern. *tr

I wash the truck at least once a week in the winter time, rinsing the frame clean every time. I contacted toyota and they told me there is a open investigation into this matter. My truck is safe to drive at this time, but i don't think it will last to long. I hate to see a truck…

My 2001 toyota tundra has rust scaling off of the frame. The rust is scaling off up to 1/8" thick. Heavy rust covers much of the frame and continues to grow deeper. Removal of the scale during the summer of 2008 and use of rust converter and paint slowed continued rust until this past winter. The frame is now mostly covered in rust and continuing to scale. The frame has been washed in the winter to avoid corrosion…
