While accelerating from a turn, i heard a sound from the rear of the vehicle. Upon investigating the noise, i found the rear strap that secures the gas tank to the frame had rusted through. The gas tank was left hanging by only the front strap. What happens if a gas tank falls off a vehicle? *tr

I have a 2002 toyota tundra that is leaking gas. Initially i noticed a fuel smell when i walked by the truck which progressed to seeing fuel on the ground. If i put too much gas in the truck, over 1/2 tank, you can see the fuel leaking through the 4x4 fuel tank protective cover. I had the truck put on a lift and was told that fuel was leaking from the seam of the tank. I recently took my truck to toyota in response…

The fill neck on the gas tank is very difficult to put gas into my truck. I must use a screwdriver at times to fill my gas tank. I feel that this would be very dangerous at a service station, because that if a spark from the screwdriver being forced into the fill neck could ignite the fumes. *tr

During the dealers inspection, they also noted a gas smell and suspect that the gas tank or gas lines are leaking also. The dealer did a frame inspection and while the whole frame is excessively rusted, the frame passed the recall test…

I find it interesting that my 2002 toyota may be recalled due to the spare tire mounting being rusted. I have been very disappointed with this truck since the gas tank the rear differential cover and fuel lines have rusted through. I bought this vehicle due to the toyota reliability reputation. Would you please review the frequency of rust on these areas and issue what ever recalls appropriate. *tr
