    Our 2004 toyota tundra has such excessive rust on the undercarriage that the rear axle housing which holds the gears has rusted through, causing fluid to leak. Toyota says there is nothing that can be done for us. *tr

This can potentially lead to the lines snapping and failing. I saw a recall on this for 2000 to 2003 years but not for 2004. The problem identified in the recall is the exact problem i am having. I am also concerned that the mount for the…

    My 2004 toyota tundra double cab has an excessive amount of rust on the undercarriage. Because of this rust, the camber bolts cannot be removed to properly align the vehicle. I have been told that they will have to use heat to remove them, along with a lot of force, and in turn may do frame damage in the process. I have been quoted by my dealer $5,200 to fix the problem which initially started with a small shimmy in…

    Vehicle frame and undercarriage seems to have an excessive amount of rust and deterioration. As i perform maintenance on the vehicle, i am replacing rusted parts including bolts, drain plugs as well as spraying the undercarriage with wd-40, 3m undercoating spray and corrosion stop. This issue is an on-going fight to keep the rust at bay. *tr
