Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased this vehicle new in 2007. Recently upon my periodic inspection of the frame I noticed all the frame welds in the upper frame area rusted and the welds appeared to be breaking on the frame. If this is in fact the case this vehicle is no longer road worthy. The frame of any vehicle should last the entire life of the vehicle. This vehicle has 153000 original miles on the odometer.”
NHTSA complaint #11350498, filed 2020-08, 153,000 miles“Took the truck to the mechanic for an oil change and he told me the frame is so rusted that it is not safe to drive. I was told that Toyota was replacing the rusted frames for the known problem but I cannot find how I can get the process started.”
NHTSA complaint #11395622, filed 2021-02, 147,914 miles“My 2007 Tacoma double cab sport 4x4 has rust on the entire frame. My concern is that the structural stability of the frame may become compromised due to rusting on the inside of the frame as well. I am located in chesapeake, virginia which of course receives snow maybe twice a year. Please Toyota resolve this problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10971535, filed 2017-04, 280,000 miles“Toyota never notified me of any frame rust issues, nor was I ever contacted regarding a class action suit which does involve frame rust on my vehicle. I had to perform extensive research to inform myself of the issue. When I visited a dealership for leaf spring replacement, I was told that frame rust was too extensive to perform the repair, however the dealership did not make me aware of the results of a class action suit regarding frame replacement and that the frame would need to be repaired at my own expense, at which time I could not afford. …”
