2001 Toyota Tacoma Other or unknown Problems

“I am unsure when this had happened but the frame on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma is corroded and broken into 2 pieces in 2 different areas. The place where it is broken is not corroded but just broke. Would like to know if this truck is under a safety issue that Toyota should be responsible for or if it is just an expensive paper weight.”

“I live in virginia. There was a safety recall for inspection of the truck frame for rust corrosion. At the time vehicle had the recall I was being treated for a mental disability and in mental hospitals. I was not of sound mind or judgment to understand the recall notice . While having oil changed by the Toyota dealer the frame of the truck was noted to have holes in the frame caused by rust. …”

“While I was driving the passenger side wheel completely buckled under the truck. Luckily, I was only driving 15 MPH. Had this broken while I was on the interstate, I would have been injured or injured someone else. As a result, the mechanic found that both ball joints were bad so both were replaced. The frame is completely rusted out and the spare tire cannot be removed. No notice was ever given to us or the previous owner by Toyota, regarding the problems stated above.”

“Rear frame is rusted out and braking into pieces. I called Toyota and there was a recall for the rusted parts. They told me the recall has expired and they will not honor it”

“While driving the truck we heard a rubbing and clanking noise. The rear shock absorber support ,on the passenger side, completely rusted away along with the frame and is now resting against the bottom of the truck bed. We took the vehicle to a Toyota dealer who informed us that the entire frame is perforated with holes, the frame on the drivers front is extremely damaged and the vehicle is not safe to drive. We contacted Toyota and were told they will do nothing because the frame is out of warranty by 46 days.”
