2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

WE HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA ,AND THE COMPLAINT IS RUST, FIRST MY BUMPERS WENT .,THE REAR BUMPER GOT SO RUSTED THAT MY DAUGHTER SAT ON THE BUMPER AND SHE FELL TO THE GROUND., I CALLED TOYOTA ,THE SAID CALL MY LOCAL DEALER.,I DID., MY LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT ,THEY SAID IT WASN'T THERE PROBLEM . SO AT THIS POINT I NEVER REPLACED THE BUMPER BECAUSE TOYOTA WANTED 400.00 WITHOUT PUTTING THE BUMPER ON AND I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. ANYWAY WHO SAYS A NEW TOYOTA BUMPER WOULD BE NO GOOD ANY WAYS! SECOND AND MOST IMPORTANT IS THE FRAME YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR..... I TRIED TO APPLY AN UNDERCOAT TO THE FRAME AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR NO MATTER HOW MUCH UNDER COATING I PUT ON THE FRAME IT GETS LIKE A 100 TIMES WORSE I THINK THE RUST BEHIND THE UNDER COATING JUST BREAKS APART AND JUST FALLS OFF AS I DRIVE BECAUSE THE YEAR AFTER THE RUST IS 100 TIMES WORSE!!!! IF YOU WOULD PLEASE ., LOOK INTO THIS ASAP BECAUSE IM REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK, AND I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE I WOULD BE AFRAID FOR THEM AND FEEL TERRIBLE IF SOMETHING DANGEROUS HAPPENED TO US OR THEM, PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING IS CLOSE TO SEPARATING ALSO ON ACCOUNT OF THE SEVERE RUST OF THE VEHICLES FRAME. IT IS SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP IN EAST STOUDSBURG SINCE OCT. 12 AWAITING TOYOTA FIELD REP AND COMPANY TO MAKE SOME KIND OF DECISION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS HAVING HIS VEHICLE INSPECTED, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE 2 RUST HOLES IN THE FRAME NEAR THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINES PREVIOUSLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85000. UPDATED 11/9/09. *NJ UPDATED 11/10/09 *BF THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND WERE LEAKING. THE MECHANIC REPLACED BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS. UPDATED 11/10/09

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE FRAME HAD CORROSION, AND THE BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED HE PAID A LOCAL MECHANIC TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2000 - IN MAY OF THIS YEAR THE VEHICLE WAS TO HAVE ANNUAL STATE INSPECTION AND DID NOT PASS DUE TO EXTREME RUSTING CONDITION OF THE FRAME. MECHANIC SAID HE COULD EASILY PUT A HAMMER THROUGH THE FRAME IT WAS IN SUCH BAD CONDITION AND ADVISED THAT THE HITCH WAS NOT SAFE TO USE. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND WANTED TO KEEP IT. WE HAD ONLY 158,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION SO DECIDED TO HAVE PLATES WELDED ONTO THE FRAME IN SEVERAL PLACES, HAD TO HAVE NEW BRAKE LINES INSTALLED AND THE ENTIRE UNDERNEATH OF THE TRUCK UNDERCOATED. THIS COST ME $1,087.29 AND TOOK 5 DAYS TO COMPLETE. APPARENTLY THE STEEL USED IN THIS TRUCK WAS INFERIOR AND I BELIEVE THE LEAST TOYOTA SHOULD DO IS REPLACE THE FRAME (AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE TACOMA WHICH ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM). I HAD NO LUCK IN DEALING WITH TOYOTA ON THIS AS THERE WAS NO RECALL. THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE ONE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE. *TR

2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 120K MILES IN CONCORD MA. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A NOISE WHILE TURNING OR HITTING A BUMP. UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE FRAME HAS CORRODED SO BADLY THE TORSION BAR IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. THE REAR END LEAF SPRING MOUNTS ARE ALSO CLOSE TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA AN RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER (CASE #09102651), WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED 3 DAYS AGO AND HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. ALSO REPORTED THIS TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY SAID THEY SHOULD BE CONTACTED BY TOYOTA WITH MY CASE NUMBER, AS OF YET THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED EITHER. THE ONLY REPAIR WILL BE A NEW UNDERCARRIAGE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. *TR
