2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF RUST UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK, DESPITE THE FRAME BEING REPLACED FROM A VOLUNTARY RECALL. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS DETERIORATED FROM RUST AND IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING.

THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK IS RUSTING AWAY. THE LEFT RAIL OF THE FRAME ( UNDER THE DRIVERS AREA) LOOKS LIKE SWISS CHEESE WITH ALL THE HOLES IN IT. YESTERDAY I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE FRAME PATCH WELDED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T THE WORST SPOT OF ROT. THE FRAME SECTION THAT JOINS THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY IS BADLY ROTTED AND WHEN TAPPED WITH A HAMMER HUNKS OF IT ARE FALLING OFF. I HAVE BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO HERB CHAMBERS, MY DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK DID NOT FIT THE CRITERIA FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT. IN 2015 I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR ITS RECALL FOR FRAME ROT AND THE TRUCK RECEIVED A FRAME COATING OF RUST PROTECTOR. 2 YEARS LATER I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE AREA THAT THIS COATING WAS A JOKE. TOYOTA FOUND THAT THE COATING NEVER DRIED THEREFORE WOULD HAVE WASHED OFF IN THE NEXT WET DRIVING DAY, SO NO RUST PROTECTION. WHEN I QUESTIONED TOYOTA CORPORATE WHY THE 06 TUNDRA WASN'T GETTING CALLED BACK WHEN SO MANY OTHERS HAD BEEN, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE. I LOVE MY TRUCK, IT RUNS GREAT, HAS NO OTHER ISSUES, 259,844 MILES ON IT AND I NEED TO KEEP IT GOING FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO MY FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES AND REALLY NEED MY TRUCK TO GET TO WORK AND HOSPITAL IN BOSTON WITH MY HUSBAND. CAN YOU OFFER ANY RECOURSE? I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WITH A ROTTEN FRAME ON MY 06 TUNDRA. I THANK YOU FOR THIS ABILITY TO LET YOU KNOW OF MY TROUBLE AND TRULY HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU CARRY SOME WEIGHT WITH TOYOTA BECAUSE THEY SURE DON'T CARE ABOUT ME. OH BY THE WAY---YOU SHOULD SEE THE ROT HOLES IN THE FRAME IN MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THAT DOESN'T FIT TOYOTA'S CRITERIA EITHER.
