I went in to toyota garage to have my frame checked,and at one time the lift i received a letter in regards to this. The truck , it went up on the lift they verified it was bad and then told me it has expired and i still have an air bag relacement still open. How can they expire the frame when iwould think this is more dangerous if i got in an accident than a air bag which has never expired.

Extreme rust damage to the frame. Toyota will not discuss the concern, and i am growing concerned about the safety of the vehicle and risk to me and my passengers. Everything else on the vehicle operates a expected for a 15 year old vehicle. I want to keep this truck and work with toyota to replace the defective frame, but i would also consider a replacement vehicle with fair value trade in. However, toyota will not…

04 tundra failed inspection due to excessive frame rust with holes. Toyota did a "limited service campaign" for which i never received a notice. I did receive the takata airbag recall notice. Called toyota. They said they are not responsible for what happens with the mail. Nothing they can do for me. Vehicle is in great shape other than the rusted frame.

Truck frame is rusting from the inside out. This is the same issue as the 2000 tru 2003 model year. Toyota says it is not covered. There was a spray apply program but it ended in 2015. I bought my used truck in 2016 and i do not believe it was ever sprayed.

The local toyota dealership has confirmed the frame on my 2004 toyota tundra has excessive rust and has holes in it. They told me its unsafe to drive as the frame could crumble in a severe accident, and stated the frame would qualify for a full frame replacement if toyota would recall it. I called toyota corporate, and they told me they aren't going to stand behind it and won't do anything about it even though it's…

We were driving along at 50 mph when spare tire dropped out from under the truck in the middle of the road. The spare tire has never been used or disturbed in any way since the vehicle was manufactured. The tire started rolling at 30-40 mph could have hit a pedestrian or been an obstacle for following.

We had the takata airbag recall service performed on our tundra on 12/19/14. Then, just a coupe weeks ago in june 2017, the airbag light came on when my husband was driving to work on the highway, and the light has not gone off since. We took it to a local auto shop to diagnose this past weekend, and they said it was an issue relating to the airbag recall service--they said they've seen this numerous times now, all…

Just purchased as a used truck, the body is in real good shape but the frame is rusted. Called toyota to be told that there was a limited service campaign to undercoat the frame but that campaign has ended. I tried to remove the hitch from the receiver a couple days after i took delivery of the truck, it would not come out. I crawled under the truck to see if it had been welded up or something to keep it from coming…

Frame rot and rust. The gas tank fell out from under the truck while driving down the road (city street), the brackets holding the tank completely rusted in two. This happen after the frame protect spray was applied to the truck by the dealer 2 years ago. The frame is a mess, i'm worried about driving this truck because of it but i also can't trade it in because no one wants it. I'm happy to send pictures if needed.

Hello, the frame on my 2004 toyota tundra has begun to rust. Toyota sent out a recall on my vehicle that i never received. When i took this to toyota they stated that my recall had expired one month prior in august 2015. This is unacceptable. They know they have issues with the frames on the trucks rusting. The toyota tacomas first now the tundras. This is my only vehicle and toyota is refusing to repair the frame.

The entire frame and under side of the truck to include brackets, cables, fittings, and exhaust are so rusted and flaking off that i'm concerned that the truck may break apart driving down the road. I bought the truck used from lowe toyota in warner robins, ga and had no idea that the truck was a rusted out disaster waiting for a place to happen !!
