Purchased my 2001 tundra new. frame has been rusted since 2005, always have been concerned for years on the amount of rust, especially around the from tie rod wheel area. just heard through the media about a potential recall. simply too much rust for my comfort level on truck. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 toyota tundra. the contact stated that he noticed rust on the frame of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where pictures were taken and sent to a representative; the representative stated that the rust was not serious enough to act upon. most recently, the spare tire fell off the rear of the vehicle. . the contact called the manufacturer who stated that someone would give him a call back. the vehicle had not been repaired. the current mileage was approximately 112,000. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000. updated 01/04/11*lj updated 01/10/11

Due to premature corrosion (vehicle 4 years old) parking brake failed to function, failed nys inspection, was repaired (03/14/2005). due to premature corrosion, spring broke, was repaired (01/02/2008). power steering rack rotted, had to be replaced. approx mileage 150,000. front suspension links rotted out. called toyota (04/15/2009) voiced our concern for rotting frame, no recall at that time. they issued a complaint #.took vehicle to dealer for inspection for three recalls, a0f, b0d, 90m on 05/02/2012. inspection not properly done, chunks of rust still can be flaked off, possible holes behind, but they sprayed crc over top of the loose scaling, covering over the problems. we had no choice in what they were doing with our property. we took it in for an inspection. after said inspection, if it would not get a new frame, we would have opted to take it home, removed all loose scaling prior to the crc being applied. we were not given any options, our vehicle was already on the way to their collision shop for the work. this would have accomplished two things; the dealership would know without a doubt that there were no holes and the crc would stick directly to the frame minimizing future corrosion (that is the objective of the recall afterall) i called toyota corporate and voiced my concern with a spray covering over the problem, and the truck not being safe. my case is still pending, but based on the initial call back from the case manager, it is not looking like there will be a resolution in our favor, we will see. my concern is, how many of these toyota dealers are not thoroughly inspecting these trucks, spraying over the problems and putting these vehicles back on the roads. how safe is that? *tr

I have a 2001 toyota tundra that has a ruinous amount of rust on the undercarriage. i have spent thousands on exhaust work and can no longer justify putting money into this truck. the check engine light came on within months of my having purchased the vehicle. after many attempts to repair the problem, the light will go off, but then something else goes wrong with the exhaust system and it comes back on. it's on right now despite my having just gotten it out of the garage a few weeks ago. the heat shield continuously rattles because of the rust. also, the parking brake line is rusted to the point of being unusable. this is my work vehicle and i'm afraid i'm getting close to being without my truck. i am very disappointed in this truck. if i'm not helped out by this situation, toyota will lose a life-long customer. *tr

2001 toyota tundra limited. frame is rusting very rapidly, tried to paint frame where i could reach,but paint flaked off after just a few weeks. i talked to local toyota dealer, they said there was nothing they could do. *tr

Consumer states the the locking mechanism in the hinge that allows the driver's side door to open to a certain angle is defective. intermittenly the door will surpass the hinge causing it to "crash" down on consumer's foot. ts

While parked at a stop light a car slammed in the rear of my vehicle, the front fender and bumper was knocked down on the wheel hood buckled, grille push back against the fan on the motor.
