2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

THE FRAME IS RUSTING. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THE NOTICE I RECEIVED WAS FOR AIR BAG ISSUES ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. SO I CALLED CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THE NOTICE ON MY RUST ISSUES EXPIRED JULY OF 2015. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG BUT NOT THE RUST ISSUE? AND NOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT IT AND WANT TO GET IT RESOLVED THEY WONT DO ANYTHING? I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A BALL JOINT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE FRAMES WILL EVENTUALLY RUST APART TIL THE SNAP. ARE WE WAITING FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE? THIS ISN'T SOME SMALL ISSUE, THIS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE VERY WELL. IT GETS ALL THE ROUTINE THINGS DONE AND ONLY A MECHANIC TOUCHES IT, IT IS NEVER WORKED ON AT HOME IN THE GARAGE. I LOVE MY TOYOTA AND I AM VERY SHOCKED THEY HAVEN'T GONE FURTHER TO CORRECT THEIR WRONG. THEY MADE THE MISTAKE AND DIDN'T PROTECT IT NOT ME. I DO EVERYTHING I AM SUPPOSED TO DO TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN TIP TOP CONDITION SO I AM NOT LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I PULLED INTO MY FURNITURE STORE AND HAD THE TRUCK IN DRIVE BUT STATIONARY AND WAS GETTING READY TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE TO PARK INTO MY SPOT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK ACCELERATED LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND I ENDED UP CRASHING INTO THE STORE'S ENTRANCE CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE TO BOTH THE VEHICLE AND THE STORE'S BUILDING. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE BECAUSE I ALMOST RAN OVER MY DAUGHTER. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I DID NOT PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BY MISTAKE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE.

TAKATA RECALL MY TOYOTA TUNDRA IS A 2006 LIMITED FULLY LOADED BEAUTIFUL TRUCK.... UNTIL YOU LOOK UNDER NEATH IT! THE FRAME HAS RUST HOLES, THE STRUTS RUSTED OFF THE FRAME, THE BREAK LINES ARE RUSTED OUT, MY BREAK DRUMS ARE RUSTED OUT, LEAF SPRING ARE RUSTED OUT, THE EXHAUST SYSTEM RUSTED OFF AND THE BEST PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA FOR THE RECALL AND SPRAYED INSTEAD OF REPLACED! THE DEALER TOOK SPONGES AND PUT THEM INTO THE FRAME AND PAINTED OVER THE FRAME!! A TOYOTA DEALER!!!! AND NOW THAT THE FRAME IS FALLING APART TOYOTA IS SAYING IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM THE RECALL IS OVER. EVEN THOUGHT THE FRAME WASN'T REPLACED WHEN IT WAS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED! MY HOUSEHOLD OWNS 7 TOYOTA A AND LEXUS VEHICLES, YOU CAN BET YOUR MONEY WE WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA OR LEXUS AGAIN. THANKS TOYOTA FOR NEGLECTING YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES! *JS

THE VEHICLE FRAME IS SHOWING MAJOR SIGNS OF RUST. THIS APPARENTLY IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS MATTER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ISSUED A TEMPORARY SERVICE FOR THIS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE SINCE WHENEVER CONPONENTS NEED REPLACING THE BOLTS MUST BE CUT OFF DUE TO RUSTING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL SINCE CERTAIN AREAS ARE THINNING ON THE FRAME.

TAKATA RECALL - UNACCEPTABLE HOW LONG THIS RECALL HAS TAKEN TO CORRECT. ONE OF OUR TWO VEHICLES IS UNABLE TO BE USED AS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND HAS NOW GONE PAST THE POINT OF BEING AN INCONVENIENCE. HAVE RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION SINCE THE ORIGINAL NOTICE. HOW WAS TOYOTA ABLE TO PASS THE STATE INSPECTION WITH THIS RECALL IN EFFECT?
