TOYOTA TUNDRA RUST AND CORROSION IN TRUCK BED. COMING FROM BELOW. SPREADING LIKE CANCER AND THIS WAS POSTED ON JULY OF 2012 # TSB-0101-12. RUST HAS COMPLETELY EATEN THROUGH TRUCK BED FLOOR AND THERE ARE SEVERAL (8+) OTHER SPOTS. I'M NOW CONCERNED WITH SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ON 9/9/16 AFTER REMOVING MY BED LINER FOR FIRST TIME TO THEN HAVE A SPRAY LINER IN PLACE. I THEN TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEN CALLED TOYOTA. IF THEY WOULD'VE INFORMED ME OF THE TSB, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE FIXED AS THIS ONE MAJOR HOLE IS MORE THAN 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING. WITH THE TIMING OF THIS TSB THAT WOULD'VE PUT ME INSIDE THE 5 YEAR CORROSION WARRANTY. YOU JUST NEVER THINK TO LOOK UNDER BED LINER AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE PER TOYOTA. VERY UNHAPPY

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB LIMITED 4X4. I STARTED NOTICING RUST DEVELOPING IN MY TRUCK BOX IN MARCH 2011. I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA IN CANADA AS THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IMPORTED FROM THE USA INTO CANADA FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER BACK IN 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA USA FOR CORROSION WARRANTY. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING AND I WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER CORROSION WARRANTY BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAD BEEN EXPORTED OUT OF THE USA. IT WAS NOT UNTIL A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ISSUE OF FRAME RUSTING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CANADA TO SEE IF MY TRUCK WOULD BE COVERED. I WAS TOLD THAT ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE TO MANAGED BY TOYOTA USA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS OVER THE 5 YEAR UNLIMITED MILEAGE AS WELL MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN EXPORTED FROM THE USA SO EITHER WAY IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN COVERED.

TRUCK BED RUSTING FROM UNDERNEATH IN 2 SPOTS WHERE ATTACHING TO THE FRAME UNDERCARRIAGE AND BUBBLING ON BED FLOOR. IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS OVER 5 YEAR WARRANTY. HAS 47000 MILES ON IT. COULD BECOME A SAFETY FACTOR IF IT COMES COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE FRAME.

I HAD ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE TRANSFER CASE STUCK IN 4WHEEL DRIVE LOW, AN ENGINE MISFIRE AND VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS AN AIR PUMP VALVE PROBLEM. HE CLEARED THE CODES IN THE COMPUTER AND I DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK AND HE GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN. THE WEATHER HAS SINCE WARMED UP AND IT HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. THAT WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. SO I TOOK IT TO FOSS TOYOTA IN CASPER, WY. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIX IT UNLESS IT MALFUNCTIONED RIGHT THERE ON THEIR LOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS BY E-MAIL, I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS PHONED BY SOMEONE AT TOYOTA. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I SAY BULLCOOKIES. THOSE ENGINE FAIL CODES ARE STILL IN THE COMPUTER. AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE STALLING UNTIL MY 10 YEARS ARE UP THIS COMING SEPTEMBER. THIS AIR PUMP REPAIR IS A $5,000.00 TO $6,000.00 BILL. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR MY TRUCK, I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM IN GOOD FAITH, I HAD TO HAVE A $1,000.00 + ENGINE BELT AND A WATER PUMP PUT ON IT ALREADY, AND NOW THIS? WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS WHEN DEALING WITH A LESS THAN HONEST COMPANY? WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE TRANSFER CASE STUCK IN 4WD. IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND I JUST STARTED IT UP ON A COLD MORNING. THANK YOU *TR
