2002 Toyota Tundra Other or unknown Problems

“When installing side rails I discovered the frame of the vehicle had rusted thru at the location I was going to drill a hole. The truck will not pass inspection and there are safety concerns. Toyota will not address the issue. There have been recalls for frame issues in the past and it appears Toyota has not solved the problem. There may be many more vehicles out there and do not know they have a weakened frame. Toyota needs to do more to resolve the issue.”

“Part of the frame on my truck has one large rust hole and a smaller rust hole. I spoke with Toyota about it for the first time on saturday october 22, 2016 and I was told that the frame is still covered until december 2016. I received a follow up call like I was told on monday october 24, 2016 only for my case manager to inform me it was not covered. She said the first lady I spoke with was wrong about what she told me. Now I'm stuck with a truck that has major rust issues.”

“I recently found out about a problem with the frames of certain Toyota tundras from a coworker. I found that my truck fell into the category, however I was never notified of any recalls or safety actions. I brought my truck into the dealership and was told that the spare tire carrier will be replaced as well as the fuel tank straps and a coating can be applied to the rear part of the frame. I asked how the rest of the frame was and was told there was major rot in the front section. …”

“Toyota has a recall on the truck frame that they won't do anything about. This truck has only 70000 miles on it. We took it to the dealership and they told us to call Toyota. We contacted Toyota and opened a claim and they told us there not doing anything at this time for that recall. The whole frame is rotten and is not safe to drive. We've done all the recalls they had for the frame and it still rotted out. Not sure how I can get this resolved with Toyota. The frame snapped on the front driver side. The frame snapped while driving around town.”

“Frame has corrosion & perforation. Dealer said it will not pass state inspection. This is even after the phase one & two resolutions performed on this truck in 2010. In 2011 the rear gas tank strap broke. In 2012 the spare tire fell off while entering the interstate. This corrosion is an ongoing issue ever since I bought it new in 2002. Toyota's campaign it resolve this issue is nothing more than a bandaid to bide their time further down the road. I contacted Toyota, 4/2017 and they said the campaign to fix this is over. So, I guess I am stuck with it.”
