NHTSA complaint #11350606, filed 2020-08, 213,500 miles“My truck frame had a recall and Toyota told me it was solid. I had it rustproofed and today while driving home on the back road with my dogs in the truck my leaf spring fell off the frame due to a rotted frame. If I had been on a highway doing 60, I would not be writing you. Had to have it brought home on a flat bed truck and call for a ride for me and the dogs. Disgusting! They still are having problems with these frames on newer models and are not willing to work with me to repair this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10980038, filed 2017-04, 114,400 miles“In the summer of 2016 I had noticed a long strip of metal hanging below my 1999 Toyota Tacoma. It turned out to be a part of the frame. After a more thorough investigation I had found the whole frame rusted. Then through research deemed it not safe to drive. In 2009 , after hearing from a friend(not Toyota), of an frame rust issue I made an appointment for an inspection at the dealer and was told it was good with no recommendation to replace nor treat . I left thinking I had a good one (frame) that wasn't affected by the rust problem. …”

When I went to register the vehicle the title came back as a rebuild . Just recently I got a recall notice from Toyota corporate with the VIN of my vehicle printed on it telling me that there is a buy back for vehicles of my year and VIN.
