I WAS DRIVING IN A LARGE PARKING LOT AT A SPEED NOT MORE THAN A WALK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE TRUCK SURGED FORWARD HARD ENOUGH THAT THE THREE PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK WERE THROWN BACK AGAINST THEIR SEATS. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE ACCELERATION WAS SUDDEN AND VIOLENT, AND THE ONLY REASON AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR WAS THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE TRUCK IS A TOYOTA 2002 TUNDRA WITH THE V-8 ENGINE. *TR

The frame has rusted so badly that the spare tire fell off into the highway and nearly caused the vehicle behind to almost wreck.Upon arrival at home I looked at the frame and noticed that the u-bolts holding the rear differential are almost rusted off and will need to be replaced. The entire frame is rusted badly. I think something should be done!!! This vehicle has been taken care of and has seldom been off-road. I am a 72 year old man who does not abuse my vehicle.

on June 9th at about 2pm while driving through my neighborhood, my upper an lower ball joints on my 2002 Toyota Tundra separated from my vehicle causing a catastrophic loss of control of truck and tore my hub with tire from vehicle ripping the brake fuel line and shoving entire components up under my Tundra while losing control with no brakes or steering capability. It also destroyed the drivers side front tire. Needless to say if I was say...going 55 to 60 miles per hour on highway...I would not be writing this. Had truck towed to Checkered Flag Toyota and they quoted me a price of over1300$ in repairs... they are fighting me on fixing my truck damages even though said damages were caused by the ball joint recall on the 2002 tundra...recall I D#05v

2002 Tundra was recalled for the rusty frame. I had mine inspected at the time of the recall. The dealership sprayed the frame of my truck. Now my frame is severely rusted and unsafe to drive. The balance of my vehicle is in good condition with approximately 200,000 miles. Will I be eligible for repair or replacement? Who should I contact? Thank you Bridgette Gartmann

THE REAR AXEL AND DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING/CASTING IS CORRODED THRU SUCH THAT OIL IS LEAKING THROUGH THE DIFFERENTIAL HUB ONTO THE ROADWAY AND RESULTING IN A LOSS OF GEAR OIL WITHIN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND AXELS. AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS OIL WAS OBSERVED ON THE SPARE TIRE (MOUNTED UNDER THE BED) AND UP THE BACK OF THE BUMPER. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT ONE DEALERSHIP I APPROACHED TO DISCUSS THE COST OF REPAIR INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED COMPONENT. I HAVE NOT YET HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO THE HIGH COST, BUT IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE AS THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL NOT HOLD GEAR OIL.

FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND CALLED ABOUT A PREVIOUS RECALL TO REPLACE THE FRAME BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD JUST MISSED IT AND THE RECALL HAD ENDED? I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD THE TRUCK AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL BUT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. I HAD RECEIVED OTHER PROMOTIONS ABOUT NEW VEHICLE DISCOUNTS FOR TOYOTA OWNERS, BUT NEVER ABOUT ANY RECALL ON THE TRUCK AT ALL? NOW THE FRAME IS RUSTED EVEN WORSE BUT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THIS TIME! THE OTHER DAY I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE MAKING A NOISE AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK STRAP HAD RUSTED AND FELL APART AND THE FUEL TANK WAS HANGING DOWN. I HAD TO TAKE A RATCHET STRAP AND STRAP THE FUEL TANK BACK UP TO THE FRAME BECAUSE I HAVE TO HAVE THE TRUCK TO DRIVE TO WORK. I LOOK NOW AND THERE IS A RECALL ABOUT THE CORROSION ON THE FUEL TANK STRAPS AND ON THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER AND SUCH AND YET AGAIN I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. HAD THE FUEL TANK NOT FELL OUT ON ME AND THEN ME LOOK ON YOUR SITE TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT, I WOULD AGAIN NOT HAVE KNOWN THERE EVEN WAS A RECALL UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT GETTING TOYOTA TO HONOR THE FRAME REPLACEMENT RECALL ON MY TRUCK THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT THEY KNEW I OWNED IT BECAUSE OF THE OTHER MAIL THEY HAD SENT ME ABOUT NEW VEHICLE OFFERS FOR CURRENT TOYOTA OWNERS? ANY AND ALL HELP APPRECIATED AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER TRUCK HAVING SO MUCH MONEY IN THIS ONE THAT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BREAK IN HALF AS I DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD WHICH IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AROUND ME.

"TOYOTA RECALLS" CHASIS/FRAME - I HAD EVERY RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN COMPLETED BY TOYOTA SALES/SERVICE IN OUR AREA. TOYOTA'S FIX FOR THE FRAME RUST DID NOT WORK. I WAS INFORMED THIS WEEK THAT THERE ARE NOW HOLES IN THE FRAME. THE TAILGATE IS RUSTING ALONG WITH THE BED OF THE TRUCK AS I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE UNDERNEATH OF THE BED WHEN THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PUT IT UP ON THE HOSIT YESTERDAY. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY, HAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE BODY IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOTIFIED THIS WEEK ABOUT THE FRAME, IT'S HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR SOME TIME AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS INFORMED US OF THE FRAME RUST DAMAGE. EVEN THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT HAD SERVICED THE VEHICLE EARLIER THIS YEAR DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE EXTENT OF FRAME RUST DAMAGE.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED IN 2015 AND WAS UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS DUE TO FRAME RUST. I HAVE REPLACED TAILPIPE, MUFFLER, MANY BRAKE COMPONENTS DUE TO RUST PROBLEMS. THE FRAME NOW RUSTED MORE AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. A MECHANIC TOLD ME ABOUT THIS FRAME RUST RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA IN RALEIGH,NC. THE FOUND THAT ALL RECALL ITEMS HAD BEEN COMPLETED BY THE DEALER IN BOONE,NC. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE THE RUSTING ISSUE IS MUCH MORE SEVERE. I JUST WANT A FAIR EVALUATION OF WHAT CAN OR SHOULD BE DONE. FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA IN RALEIGH DID HAVE THE TRUCK BUT NOT SURE HOW FAR THEY TOOK THE INVESTIGATION OF RUST.
