2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

SEVERELY RUSTED FRAME. TOYOTA & NHTSA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FRAMES WERE NOT TREATED CORRECTLY IN THE FACTORIES. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS & HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE. MY FRAME STARTING RUSTING & FLAKING METAL AROUND 4-5 YEARS OF AGE. FRAMES SHOULD NOT RUST LIKE THIS. I'VE TRIED UNDERCOATING THE FRAME TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER RUST BUT NOTHING HELPS IT JUST GETS WORSE & WORSE. MY BRACKETS HOLDING THE FRONT BUMPER ARE SO ROTTED I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE BUMPER TO FALL OFF. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE TUNDRA OWNERS W/ THIS SEVERE PROBLEM. TACOMA OWNERS 1995-2000 W/ THIS SAME PROBLEM WERE TAKEN CARE OF BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE TUNDRA OWNERS & I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. PLEASE HELP THE TUNDRA OWNERS. *TR
