1997 Toyota T100 Brakes Problems

“Took truck to repair shop for exhaust repair. Technician found the frame to be rusted badly with holes through the frame. Told me that I need to have this looked at by a Toyota dealer because there should be a recall because it could get dangerous. He also pointed out rust on brake lines and other suspension parts that needed replaced soon.”

“On my 1997 Toyota T100 pick up, I replaced the front wheel brake hoses -the pedal went all the way to the floor, the master cylinder is a single cylinder for all four wheels, when it should have separate cups for the front and back wheels, my wife's 07 camry also has a single master cylinder for all four wheels.”

“Mechanically this truck is very sound, but the frame and many parts are rusting excessively. When I first bought the truck I had it undercoated. This didn't last long and I've had to replace the control arms, the load sensing proportioning valve and was recently told that I am at risk of not being inspected in july due to the rust on the frame. The vehicle only has 153,000 miles on it and it should still run strong, but the frame may make it impossible to get my value out of the vehicle. I feel like I wasted my money on a Toyota product that used to have a good reputation.”
