TOYOTA IS BEING DISHONEST AND SCAMMING CONSUMERS ON THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON JULY 22 AND CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER THE SAME DAY. THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 28 TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL. THE LETTER FROM TOYOTA IS WRITTEN TO COVER THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY BY STATING TO NOT USE THE TRUCKS PASSENGER SEAT. THIS BASICALLY TAKES THE VEHICLE OUT OF USE FOR MANY THINGS A TRUCK PROVIDES OUTSIDE OF A SINGLE DRIVER. JULY 28 - THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME AFTER 2 HOURS THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND I WILL NEED TO COME BACK AT A LATER DATE. AGAIN TOYOTA HAS LIMITED OR REMOVED MY ABILITY TO USE THE VEHICLE AS INTENDED. NO DATE ON PARTS WERE GIVEN BY TOYOTA DEALER. A JULY 28 CALL TO TOYOTA USA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER YIELDS THE FOLLOWING - TOYOTA STATES THEY TOLD THE DEALERS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. TOYOTA SAYS THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA CAN NOT GET THE BASICS OF COMMUNICATIONS DOWN. BOTTOM-LINE - TOYOTA IS NOT DOING THE REPAIRS, DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL AND VEHICLES HAVE TO BE LIMITED FOR USE OR NOT USED BASED ON THE TOYOTA "STRONGLY RECOMMENDS" LIABILITY STATEMENT TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE SOMEONE FROM TOYOTA CONTACTS US WHEN THE PARTS ARE THERE AS I HAVE FULFILLED MY PART TO CONTACT TOYOTA AND RETURN THE TRUCK.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while performing an oil change, he discovered that the sub-frame was rusted. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.

MY SON DRIVES THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2006 BY MY FATHER IN LAW. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE WHEEL SHOOK, MY SON HEARD A POP, AND THE LEFT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE BARRING THUS SKIDDING ON THE GROUND. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER TO BE EVALUATED.

MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS JUST SERVICED AT REPUTABLE MECHANIC AND ALERTED ME TO THE RUST HOLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING BRACKET. ADDITIONALLY, THE FRAME IS SEPARATING FROM THE TRUCK DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE RUST. THE FRAME IS DEFOLIATING IN SHEETS OF RUST, VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONSISTENCY OF SHALE. CONTACTED CORPORATE TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. CASE WAS PUSHED TO A SENIOR MANAGER AND FINALLY RECEIVED A RETURN CALL 13 DAYS LATER. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD WARRANT A FRAME REPLACEMENT BASED ON THE AGE OF MY VEHICLE, THE MILEAGE (248,000) MILES, AND NO CURRENT RECALLS. I FIND THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA IS A COMPANY I THOUGHT WAS BASED ON 'PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY, AND SAFETY', BUT I GUESS IT'S NOT. I RECEIVED THE CAMPAIGN TO BATTLE THE RUSTY FRAMES BACK IN 2014 AND WAS PROACTIVE AND COMPLETED THAT AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE UNDERCOATING WHICH DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT COVER THE RUST AND INCREASE THE BREAKDOWN OF THE FRAME. SINCE THEN, I HAD DRIVEN MY TRUCK TO AND FROM WORK AND RELIED ON IT TO SAFELY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT ANY LONGER. I FIND THIS TO BE COMICALLY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR TOYOTA TO TURN A BLIND EYE. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2006 TUNDRAS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES, HOWEVER THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ONLY LISTS 2007-2008 TUNDRAS THAT COULD WARRANT FRAME REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, A COWORKER JUST TOOK HIS 2005 TUNDRA IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL, AND THEY DISCOVERED THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAS OVER 200,000 MILES SIMILAR TO MINE AND IS GETTING A NEW FRAME??? CORPORATE TOYOTA WOULDN'T COMMENT ON THAT. I'M AT A LOSS AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TOYOTA EXPECTS ANYONE TO JUST WALK AWAY AND DO NOTHING. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WILL OCCUR AGAIN FOR THE 2006 TUNDRAS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE IS NO WARRANTY, OR CAMPAIGN, OR RECALL. THE TOYOTA NAME IS ON THE TUNDRA AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES THEM LIABLE. JOIN ME! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, FELT A AND HEARD A BUMP (NO BUMPS IN ROAD) AND LOST MOST STEERING CAPABILITIES. AFTER PULLING TO SIDE OF ROAD. I NOTICED TIRES WERE POINTED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE VEHICLE, I COULD SEE LARGE RUST HOLES IN THE FRAME AND THE RACK WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE FRAME UNDER RECALL IN 2015 AND SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND PAINTED ONLY THE REAR PORTION OF THE FRAME WITH AN ANTI CORROSION PAINT WHICH HAS NOW ALSO RUSTED AWAY. I BELIEVE THE FRAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL RECALL INSTEAD OF COVERING WITH PAINT THAT DID NOT DO THE JOB.

I'VE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR A YEAR BOUGHT ON DEC 2019 3RD OWNER. I SEE THAT MINES NOT LISTED AS RECALLED FOR FRAME RUST BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY WHEN THE GAS TANK LOOKS LIKE IT GOING TO FALL OFF AND SEEMS ONLY CRITICAL SECTIONS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED LIKE THE GAS TANK AND WHERE THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER SITS. I COULD ONLY SEE THESE SPOTS NOW BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD TO SPOT PLACES WHERE THE FRAME JOINS.

AUTONATION TOYOTA WOULD NOT INSTALL REAR TOW HITCH DUE TO SEVERITY OF FRAME RUST. CAUTIONING THAT ANY SORT OF IMPACT WOULD TOTAL THE VEHICLE. AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS STATING VERY SIMILAR RUST PROBLEMS I HAVE STARTED AN ONLINE PETITION AGAINST TOYOTA. EVEN IF THE FRAME IS REPLACED THE RUST HAS AFFECTED MANY COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. SEVERE BODILY HARM OR DEATH CAN OCCUR.

ON JANUARY 10 2020 MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA BROKE DOWN. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IT WAS AROUND 4:45PM WHEN I HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM MY DRIVERS BACK TIRE, I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED OUT UNDERNEATH AND MY TIRES DID NOT SEE ANYTHING GOT BACK IN VEHICLE AND BACKED IT UP TO A SIDE STREET IT MADE THE CLUNKING NOISE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND HE CAME OUT AND CHECKED THE TRUCK OUT TOO COULDN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ( WE HAVE TOWING SERVICE PLUS WE BOUGHT A EXTENDED WARRANTY) SINCE IT WAS PASS 5 PM THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T LOOK AT THE TRUCK TILL THE NEXT DAY. WHEN THEY GAVE ME A CALL THEY TOLD ME THAT MY SWAY BAR BROKE AND THE CLUNKING NOISE WAS MY BRAKE DRUM AND PAD IT WAS SO RUSTED IT BUSTED IN PIECES. HE ALSO SAID THATS NOT THE REAL CONCERN & ISSUE HE TOLD ME THAT MY WHOLE FRAME WAS VERY RUSTED & CORROSION HE STATED THAT MY TRUCK WAS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER WORK I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK THE FRAME WAS SO BAD SOME PARTS OF IT YOU COULD PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT THROUGH IT. LATER WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND READ ABOUT TOYOTA TUNDRA RECALL ON FRAMES. WE ALSO WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THE TRUCK TO US. THEY WERE NO HELP. WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP. I'M THE MAIN DRIVER AND I LOVE THIS TRUCK PAID GOOD MONEY AND STILL PAYING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS TRUCK MISSED THE RECALL IN THE PASS. THE TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE BODY AND INTERIOR. IT ONLY HAD 91,000 WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. DO WE FALL UNDER THE RECALL? PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER LEARNING OF A RECALL INVOLVING RUST ON SIMILAR VEHICLE'S, HE DECIDED TO INSPECT HIS VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME NEAR THE REAR SUSPENSION HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE NEITHER THE VIN NOR THE MODEL YEAR WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

JAN. 2, 2021 DEALER (ADVANTAGE TOYOTA OF VALLEY STREAM) REFUSED TO COMPLETE NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741. DEALER STATED THAT THEY DO NOT DO RECALL SERVICE ON WEEKENDS. TOYOTA CORPORATE'S RECALL LETTER STATES THAT A LOANER VEHICLE WOULD BE PROVIDED. ADVANTAGE TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE LOANER VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT DAY OR TIME I WOULD BE WILLING TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. DEALER DID NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS (RIDE HOME, PAID TAXI, ETC.) CONTACTED CORPORATE, ADVISED THAT THE DEALERS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND TOYOTA INC IS NEITHER AFFILIATED NOR LIABLE FOR DEALERSHIP ACTIONS. TOYOTA RECOMMENDED THAT I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE EXPENSES FOR A RENTAL CAR AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT AT A LATER DATE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO THE NHTSA THIS EXAMPLE OF TOYOTA'S LACK OF INTEREST TO REMEDY A MANDATED SAFETY RECALL. TOYOTA SENDS MULTIPLE LETTERS INDICATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THEY MANUFACTURED. THEN, DEALERSHIPS MAKE IT DIFFICULT (IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE) TO HAVE THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. TOYOTA THEN EXCUSES ITSELF FROM LIABILITY BY STATING DEALERSHIPS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED. CONVENIENT. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER.

WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST WAS SO BAD ON THE FRAME THAT I COULD NOT SAFELY DRIVE IT. WAS INFORMED BY REPAIR SHOP THAT THEY HAVE HAD OVER 20 VEHICLES YEARS 05-06 WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WITH FRAMES FALLING APART LIKE MINE?? WHY HASN'T ANYONE NOTICED THIS OR DONE SOMETHING? THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT, ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, ALL MAINTENANCE REMAINED UP TO DATE, ONLY 109,000 MILES AND FRAME FALLING APART!! WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER IN AUGUST AND WAS MADE TO BELIEVE IT WAS ONLY SMALL HOLE.PASSED INSPECTION IN JANUARY 20020. THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAS NOT PRESENT FOR YEARS!!! BUT TOYOTA NEVER MENTIONED UNTIL AUGUST 2020, WHEN THEY SAW SMALL HOLE IN FRAME, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ROAD!!! . SO, WHY IS TOYOTA ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO BE DRIVEN ? WHY ARE THEY NOT MENTIONING FRAME ISSUES? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?? I SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD RECALLS FOR OTHER VEHICLES EXCEPT, BY MY UNDERSTANDING, 05-06 TOYOTA TUNDRAS, FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT! ALL THE PICTURES I VIEWED ONLINE OF OTHER SIMILAR FRAME ISSUES ON THESE MODELS MATCHED MINE EXACTLY! SO, THERE'S A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE! PLEASE HELP!

THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP HAS FAILED, RESULTING IN THE LIMP MODE CONDITION OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS LOST CLIMBING POWER AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE MORE THAN 45 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SECOND GENERATION TUNDRA'S. THE TOYOTA DEALER HAS GIVEN A $2200. ESTIMATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IS THERE, OR WAS THERE EVER A RECALL FOR THE FIRST GENERATION TUNDRA'S WITH THIS PROBLEM? AND IF SO, IS MY TUDRA INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL? THANKS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER MAN. THE TRUCK WOULD STEER OFF WHEN IT WOULD HIT A SMALL BUMP OR HOLE IN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ALIGNMENT AND FOUND OUT THE WHOLE FRONT END SUSPENSION AND EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO IT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOTION AND HAVE HAD TO CHANGE AND ROTATE THE TIRES MORE THAN ONCE WITHIN THIS YEAR. THERE IS WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES ON THE OUTSIDE. I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THEM AGAIN WHEN WE FIX THE ALIGNMENT. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON ANY STREET AND IS PRETTY SCARY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TIRES SOUND LIKE I'M PEELING OUT OR THE TIRE IS FLAT AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN'T MAKE SHARP TURNS BECAUSE THE TIRES START SKIPPING. I HAVE NOT MADE ANY REPAIRS TO IT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE BILL AT THIS TIME. ONLY THING I'VE FIXED IS THE TIRES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOW THAT THE TIRES ARE LOW ON AIR. THE COST QUOTED TO ME WOULD BE CLOSE TO $2000. I ALSO HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT THE YEAR I HAVE WITH THE TUNDRA HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE. IT'S A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND IS MY FIRST TRUCK PURCHASE FOR MYSELF.. MY FIRST VEHICLE WAS A 1983 TOYOTA CAMRY AND I LOVED IT!! I'VE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF ISSUE WITH A TOYOTA IN THE PAST AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO THINK ANYTHING BUT POSITIVE THINGS! TOYOTA'S ARE DEFINITELY BUILT TO LAST AND WOULD LOVE TO PASS IT DOWN TO MY SON BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO POSTPONE CONSIDERING IT'S NOT SAFE FOR HIM TO BE DRIVING. THIS IS HIS LAST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IT BACK TO HIM BEFORE THE YEAR IS UP.

THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON THE FRAME A FEW YEARS AGO, I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AT THE TIME , THEY INSPECTED IT AND SAID THE FRAME WAS FINE, THEY CLEANED IT AND PERFORMED AN UNDERCOATING. I RECENTLY WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR AN ALIGNMENT, THE ALIGNMENT WOULD NOT HOLD AND THEY BROKE A BRAKE LINE. WHEN THE DEALER WENT TO PRICE OUT THE BRAKE LINE THEY DISCOVERED THE FRAME WAS ALL ROTTED OUT AND WOULD NOT REPAIR THE LINE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO PUT ON A LIFT DO TO THE FRAME ROT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE RECALL ON THE FRAME HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THE DEALER PROVIDED THE 800 NUMBER FOR TOYOTA, I CALLED THEM AND RECEIVED THE SAME INFO, THE TIME PERIOD FOR THE FRAME RECALL EXPIRED. I DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE TIME FRAME, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AND TOLD THE FRAME WAS FINE. ALL THE UNDERCOATING THEY DID ONLY MASKED THE ISSUE . THE FRAME IS NOW ALL ROTTED ONLY A FEW YEARS LATER AND TOYOTA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX IT. HOW DOES A FRAME GO FROM BEING INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND TOLD IT IS FINE TO A POINT WHERE THE DEALER WILL NOT PUT IT ON A LIFT BECAUSE OF THE ROT IN JUST A FEW YEARS? THE DEALER PROVIDED THE PICTURES OF THE ROT.

MY VEHICLE RECENTLY FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME RUST IN THE REAR AND POSSIBLY IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I PREVIOUSLY HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO INSPECT THE FRAME DURING A RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 196,000 MILES AND SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. BUT IT IS USELESS NOW AND THE FRAME RUST PROBLEMS OF THESE MODELS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FRAME SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAST THE DURATION OF THE VEHICLE AND TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

ANTI RUST COATING WAS APPLIED IN 2016 AS PART OF A RECALL- COATING WAS NOT PROPERLY APPLIED AND MOISTURE GOT UNDERNEATH. NOW, 2020, MOST OF THE COATING HAS PEELED OFF, REVEALING A 3 INCH HOLE IN MY FRAME AND A COMEPLETLEY BROKEN CROSS MEMBER NEAR THE GAS TANK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT ROYOTA WOULD COVER UP THIS PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND NOT REPLACE ALL FRAMES. THIS IS NOT SAFE. MY TRUCK RUNS AMAZING, AND ONLY HAS 105000 MILES ON IT.

I HAVE A ROTTING FRAME EVEN AFTER THE CRC TREATMENT WAS APPLIED FROM TOYOTA. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THE FRAME RUST ISSUE BUT IT ONLY LOCKS IN THE MOISTURE AND CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THE FRAME REPLACEMENT DUE TO THIS CRC APPLICATION EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY TOYOTA TUNDRAS, TACOMAS, AND SEQUOIAS DRIVING AROUND WITH FRAMES FALLING APART. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALSO FOR OTHER MOTORISTS.

THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE FRAMES ON TUNDRAS RUSTING. MY WAS NOT REPLACED, IT WAS JUST UNDERCOATED. THE FRAME IS RUSTING UNDER THE COATING AND THE COATING IS FALLING OFF. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ALSO CALLED TOYOTA. BOTH WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THE FRAME FAILED BUT TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA, WITCH I DID. TOYOTA TOLD ME THE TIME HAD RUN OUT ON THAT RECALL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY AND SHOULD HAVE HAD A FRAME REPLACMENT.

THE FRAME ON THIS 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF MAKING THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS DEGRADATION HAS HAPPENED FAR SOONER THAN THE EXPECTED RETIREMENT AGE FOR THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS NOT INCLUDED THIS FRAME AS PART OF IT'S FRAME ROT RECALL WHICH APPLIES TO MANY OTHER FRAMES FROM SIMILAR YEARS.

THIS VEHICLE HAD THE FRAME RECALL DONE BY A LOCAL DEALER - TOYOTA OF NASHUA IN NASHUA, NH - AND THE DEALER PERFORMED THE UNDERCOATING REMEDY POORLY, AND NOT PER THE GUIDELINES OF THE RECALL. WITHIN A YEAR THE UNDERCOATING STARTED FLAKING OFF, AND I NOW HAVE A 2-3" HOLE IN THE FRAME, CAUSED BY RUST. RECALL UNDERCOATING WAS DONE IN 2014. DEALER IS TELLING ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, TOYOTA IS TELLING ME THE SAME THING. THEY'RE LETTING ME DEAL WITH MY OWN RUSTED FRAME THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
