NHTSA complaint #10881771, filed 2016-06, 73,908 miles“The vehicle frame is so rusty everywhere including visible cracks that I do not know if it is safe to drive anymore. I am sure it will not be safe to tow anything for sure or the thing will break in half.”
NHTSA complaint #10949489, filed 2017-02, 150,000 miles“My 2006 Toyota Tacoma was recalled due to Toyota's frame rust and corrosion issue. After notification, july 2015, I brought my car to Toyota of wallingford (dealer) as instructed in the recall notice for a frame inspection. The dealer inspected the truck frame and said it was not eligible for a new frame as the frame passed their inspection. I disputed this because I was able to push my finger through parts of the frame. They insisted that the integrity was sound. Their recommendation was to spray the car with a corrosion resistant covering (crc). …”
NHTSA complaint #11315663, filed 2020-03, 145,000 miles“I just pulled my truck into my friend's driveway. Came to a complete stop. Kept my foot on the brake. Went to shift the transmission from drive into park. All of a sudden, the engine revs up, the wheels spin; I'm standing on the brake to keep my truck from advancing forward. But my truck pulls forward and crashes through my friend's garage door. I finally got it to stop by completing the shift into park and letting off on the brake. Fortunately, there was no other car in the garage, and no one got hurt.”
