Example complaints

“Was driving at 65 MPH on the highway and my spare tire that is mounted beneath the truck fell off and fortunately bounced off the road instead of into oncoming traffic. I inspected the frame in the area of the tire mount and found it to be almost entirely corroded. There is similar corrosion on the frame in the vicinity of the rear axle, however it is not quite as bad.”
NHTSA complaint #10291624, filed 2009-11, 95,000 miles“I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra. I was recently stopped by another motorist who stated that my spare tire was hanging down under the truck. I looked under the truck to find this was true. I jiggled the tire and it fell completely out from under the truck. The winch assembly was still attached to the wheel, but I can see that the crossmember that the winch would be attached to is completely rotted away. My truck is maintained at a Toyota dealer and is current on its annual state inspection. …”
NHTSA complaint #10281984, filed 2009-08, 140,000 miles“In june 2010 my Tundra was repaired after being recalled for a severely rusted frame and spare tire housing. What signaled the problem was when my spare tire dropped from the mount and was dangling above the ground causing me to almost loose control on an off ramp. The first dealer inspected the vehicle and told me the frame is so rusted I can put a screwdriver thru it . He then allowed me to drive home. On a second opinion, the truck was pulled off the road . When I picked up the truck following the repairs the spare was in truckbed and I had to ask for it to be installed. …”

NHTSA complaint #10564514, filed 2014-02, 238,270 miles“A co-worker sent me a rear photo of my 2000 Toyota Tundra in the parking lot showing the spare on the ground. After removing the spare I notice that the cross member which supports the spare was broken in half. Where the cross member attaches to the frame has rotted away. The driver side shock is broken and detached. The exhaust is also questionable as it is attached to the broken cross member. Rear brake line and proportioning valve are also in question as they also are partially supported by the cross member and rotting frame. …”
