My 2005 toyota tundra has 217k miles and is, mechanically, in terrific shape, except the frame has rusted out on the drivers side. Structurally, it's still drivable safely, but it will no longer pass state inspection (maine, usa). Thousands of other toyota tundras of the same style and manufacturing process and similar model year have had frame recalls done for the exact same reason. I do not feel it is fair to skip…

I have a 2005 toyota tundra, which has the entire frame all rusted. I already replaced all brake lines and differential because of the rust. The mechanic said it is rusted so bad that it could fall apart. There was a limited campaign for a recall on our tundra and the spray was done in 2015. Obviously it didn't take because of all the continuous issues we are having. I called the corporate office of toyota and…

(driveway was luckily on flat terrain) i checked the brake reservoir and it was almost empty. Filled up reservoir, pumped brakes to get stiff pedal and checked for leaks. Could find none so drove truck on about 5 mile…

Less than three months later the same thing happended again. Now it is an additional two lines that have rusted out. Toyota is telling us that its normal and not unexpected for this to happen with a truck that has almost 50,000 miles on it. In addition, since…
