“My Tundra was recalled for a frame inspection it was coated with a anti corrosion the dealer sprayed over the the brake lines that that were also corroded they were sprayed with the same undercoating when they should have been replaced I was on my way home this afternoon and my brake line burst from the corrosion causing a accident because of brake failure”
NHTSA complaint #11222503, filed 2019-06, 70,000 miles“The bed is rusting out all across the cross members. It started gradually, but now it's so bad I'm afraid the box could break loose and fly off the truck while going down the highway. Toyota has a service bulletin on this very issue, but when I took it in they said it was too old and they would not cover it. What difference does age make? …”
NHTSA complaint #10732772, filed 2015-07, 52,000 miles“On july 18 2019 my file tank strap rusted off. I noticed the tank hanging down when my g and I were on a dinner date. When I tried to repair it the bracket that bolts to the frame tore off due to rust. I had no way to fix it so I put up the tank with a ratchet strap and drove it only minimally. On april 15th 2020 my truck would not start and so after about a week or so I had a tow truck pick it up and bring it to a local shop. Before the shop got started on the vehicle they told me the frame is in really rough condition. …”
NHTSA complaint #11322401, filed 2020-04, 162,000 miles“I have very bad rust in the bed of my 07 dc. I bought the truck new. The rust was obscured by the Toyota bed liner until I saw other owners posting and checked it out. I keep my truck in immaculate condition and it only has 57,000 miles. The rust is coming from underneath and is focused around the bolts that hold the bed to the frame. I am afraid that the bed will fall off of the truck! I am trying to bring awareness to this defect before it causes an accident. A call to the dealer and every post that I see says that Toyota will not help. …”
NHTSA complaint #11373747, filed 2020-11, 57,000 miles“I own a 2007 Toyota Tundra and while stationary in my garage I noticed bubbling under my spray in bedliner where the bed contacts the frame cross rails front and back. I then crawled under the truck bed and saw a massive amount of rust on the underside of the bed. I took it fort's Toyota of pekin and they said they could not help me and that I could call Toyota customer service but didn't think it would help since I didn't notice it till after warranty was expired even though I've had every service done at their place since new. …”
