Vehicle had a recall for frame rusting out. The vehicle was bought to koon toyota dealership in 2014 for the recall. They did a spray on the frame that was supposed to cure the rusting out on the frame. However the frame is still rusting out. I bought the vehicle to connacelli toyota in springfield pa, and they do an inspection to find the frame not safe to drive on. Connacelli tells me there's nothing they can do…

The frame is 80% rotted through with rust. I'm sure it will be deemed unsafe to drive and unfortunately waiting any day for it to completely fall through. The bed is literally nosediving into the front body of the truck.

Column Shift · Unknown Or Other
When pulling the vehicle into park on a roadside, the gear shift lever snapped and stopped working, making it unable to shift gears including putting the vehicle into park. Upon removing the cover over the steering wheel, it was obvious that the gear shift lever had indeed broken completely loose from the steering column.

I asked how the rest of…

When installing side rails i discovered the frame of the vehicle had rusted thru at the location i was going to drill a hole. The truck will not pass inspection and there are safety concerns. Toyota will not address the issue. There have been recalls for frame issues in the past and it appears toyota has not solved the problem. There may be many more vehicles out there and do not know they have a weakened frame.…

Frame has corrosion & perforation. Dealer said it will not pass state inspection. This is even after the phase one & two resolutions performed on this truck in 2010. In 2011 the rear gas tank strap broke. In 2012 the spare tire fell off while entering the interstate. This corrosion is an ongoing issue ever since i bought it new in 2002. Toyota's campaign it resolve this issue is nothing more than a bandaid to bide…
