2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME RUST. I NOTICED IT AND BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP - TARBOX TOYOTA IN NORTH KINGSTOWN RI. THEY REFUSED TO LET ME DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT WITHOUT SIGNING A WAIVER THE DAMAGE IS SO EXTENSIVE. THAT IS WHY I AM UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE VIN - I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MY TRUCK. I FILED A CLAIM WITH THE TOYOTA MOTOR CO AND THE ONLY RESULT I'VE SEEN IN 7 WEEKS IS THAT THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING THE SITUATION. MEANWHILE I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA TUNDRA DOWN HIGHWAY TRUCK STARTED TO DRIVE ERRATICALLY. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT RUST ON ENTIRE FRAME. STEERING RACK HAD SEPARATED FROM FRAME AND STRUTS WERE RUSTED OUT. SAME FRAME AS TACOMA WHY HAS TOYOTA NOT RESPONDED TO PROBLEM. I CALLED DEALER WHO TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA. THE CALL TO TOYOTA WAS USELESS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I WISH THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND TAKE CARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEBODY TOYOTA WILL DESERVE ALL THE SUITS THAT WILL COME THERE WAY. *TR

IN OCTOBER 2008 I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD ABOUT UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF FRAME RUST. THEY GAVE ME A STICKER BUT SAID IT MIGHT NOT PASS INSPECTION NEXT TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE RUST ON THE FRAME. THEY SAID IT WAS JUST SURFACE RUST. JULY 22, 2009 I HAD IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE " SOME BUCKLING IN THE FRAME FROM EXCESSIVE RUSTING." THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA. I WILL DO THAT TOMORROW. *TR
