“The spare tire separated from the cross member on my 2001 Tundra. Fortunately I was at slow speed. I now know you have opened an investigation but wanted to be sure to log the issue. My truck is no longer drivable and Toyota has told me that they do not have the parts to fix it yet. I think it is time that you require Toyota to replace the frame and all associated components. This is not isolated to just the rear crossmember, there is rust throughout the whole underside of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10298525, filed 2010-01, 97,000 miles“Low mileage, two year old front tires beginning to separate at inner sidewalls, making vibrations above 50+ MPH and shaking vehicle so bad almost undriveable at highway speeds. Alignment shop said get them checked. Re-balancing tires had no effect, moved front tires to rear then bed of truck would vibrate at speed. Replace the 2 tires in question and problem resolved. Had tire shop look at the tires and they found tread separation at inner sidewalls of both suspect tires. …”
