2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

The yoke assembly on rear driveshaft broke and the rear part of shaft fell to the ground while making a turn on paved road. I was about to back down an inclined boat ramp to put boat in river. The boat was an aluminum john boat, motor and trailer not weighing over 800 pounds. Vehicle and boat could have gone in river or the truck could have hit someone. The vehicle was towed and is being repaired by local repair shop. There were no warning lights or any unusual noise prior to the incident. The truck has 135,000 miles on the odometer. The shop were the repairs are being done said this was a common problem he has seen on many Toyota Tundras and not any particular year.

The truck had a frame recall and the frame was sprayed in accordance with the recall in 2014. The frame continued to rust badly and the welded bracket for the sway bar broke free of the frame while driving.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The frame has extensive rust along with holes and metal flaking off of the frame. We bought the truck in July 2020. It has been rendered unsafe to drive.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra that is in perfect condition mechanical and body no rust, recently found out about frame that has a hole in it on the right front it has been confirmed by dealership that it cannot be driven. In 2015 I took truck in for the recall for the frame obviously something was not done properly. After doing some research I'm finding out Toyota has been having problems with frames from about 2000-2009. The main issue here is if we did not notice this problem and someone is driving the vehicle and frame breaks and someone gets hurt who is responsible

In 2014 Toyota had a recall on the frame rusting issue. I had Toyota of Hanover Pa review the truck frame and they said it didn't meet the requirement for a frame replacement and they applied under coating. Now in 2021 the frame is starting to show signs of rust along the main frame beside the fuel tank when I had the vehicle in for inspection. I was a little confused sense it was undercoated but then reading more about the undercoating it may have made it worse by holding the moisture in and making it rust. I contacted Toyota to see if they would replace and or help me with the cost in replacing the frame since the truck is in excellent shape with 114k. And there response was NO the recall has expired and we can not do nothing. I priced a frame replacement and its over 11k. Also, reading a lot of other Toyota Tundra complaints about the undercoating and not installing a new frame around the same time period and everyone feeling the coating was going to last as long as the truck. I would appreciate any help on your end with this issue.

The frame of truck is rusted very bad. The frame part where the tire spare is being held in place is rusted to the point that when you touch it, it crumbles into pieces of rusted metal. One side of the frame that holds the spare tire is almost completely gone. I feel like if I hit big bump the spare wheel would fall out and hit someone. My Toyota Tundra is a 2006, I know there was a recall for earlier model of my Tundra for the same rusted frame problem. But for some reason the 2006 was never recall even though I seen a lot of people having the same safety issue.

I took the truck to Toyota dealer in Dalton Georgia and. So they refusing to do the job and they sent me back with the same problem problem they took pictures of the frame the guy that That take care of me told me that it truck is not safe for driving!

The chassis is rusted and the tires started leaning out because they are no longer supported fully. The vehicle is unsafe to drive now because of tire issues, and control. Insurance and or police will not look at because no accident occurred yet. I just notified Toyota who said the recall on models such as this had ended in 2015. The used car dealer my son just purchased from 5 months ago has denied any knowledge of the problem.

Secondary air intake system has failed- upon researching some years of Toyota Tundra’s had previously recalls for this problem - found one forum where 120 people were complaining this happened to their vehicle also
