Problems with 2002 Toyota Tundra STRUCTURE

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. while the vehicle was being serviced for an unrelated issue, the contact was informed that the frame was rusted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 09v444000 (structure). the contact mentioned that the dealer sprayed corrosion protection instead of replacing the frame. the contact felt that the recall remedy failed to repair the vehicle. the failure mileage was 199,000.

I would like to report an unsafe condition discovered on my 2002 tundra. with 158000 it was discovered that the front half of the frame has rotted out/ several large perforations make the vehicle unsafe to drive. this is even though the vehicle had gone through a previous recall campaign in which the frame was inspected and rust inhibitor applied to rear of frame. *tr

Vehicle has 121,000 miles on it. the frame has now cracked due to rust perforation and makes the vehicle unsafe to operate. toyota is aware of the rust issues on their tundra models years 2000-2003 and has commenced at least 3 different campaigns to address this issue. the truck was brought in for all 3 recalls the last one in 2012. toyota's solution was to spray them with rust inhibitor and send the customer on their way. this is nothing more than putting a band aid on a hemorrhaging wound. most of the frames had already experienced frame corrosion. when i spoke to toyota's customer service center on 4/15/15 they issued me a case number and said i would receive a call back. toyota called back today 4/16/15 and said they would do nothing for me as the rust corrosion campaign ended in december 2013. i think the government needs to step in and force toyota to fix or replace these trucks.i am sure many owners have no idea they are driving around with perforated frames that are unsafe. my damaged frame was discovered during a routine oil change. *tr

Truck needed sensor replaced for safety inspection sticker (check engine light on). mechanic found frame underneath to be so rusted he was not comfortable working on the truck. i took the truck to local dealer and they agreed the truck is rusted to point of being unsafe. they took pictures to send corporate for frame replacement approval. request was denied. i then called toyota customer service several times before they agreed to assign a case number. i was eventually told that although truck is unsafe, there is nothing they will do since campaign is closed. i had the truck sprayed as initial recall stated. i received no other recall or requested service information from toyota. i now have a truck with low mileage that will not pass inspection and is unsafe to drive and toyota will do nothing to make sure their customers are safe or care about the safety of other drivers on the road should parts of my frame start falling off while driving. i find this practice very neglectful especially for a large corporation. i have seen that many others are in the same position with their tundra. i would like to know what can be done to rectify this safety issue. toyota should be made accountable. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that while having repairs performed, the independent mechanic discovered that the frame reel that connects the leaf springs had completely rusted. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 140,000. updated 5/28/15 *ta updated 9/17/2017*cn

I recently took my 2002 toyota tundra to the ralph hayes toyota dealership in anderson, sc for a repair on the power steering system. while i was there, i was notified that my truck was on recall due to corrosion of the frame. i was told that due to the recall i will be given a rental car, at no cost to me, while my truck was to have the frame inspected and repaired. i agreed to the inspection and was given a rental for the time my truck was at the shop. i received a call on 9/25/14 from the toyota dealership and was presented with 3 options. my first option was to have the new frame installed at no cost however, if any extra parts attached to the frame need to be replaced i was to go ahead and replace them. i was then presented with the price of around $9,500 that i was going to have to pay if i chose this option. my second option was to have the new frame installed at no cost and attempt to install my current parts onto the new frame. the toyota representative expressed with the current condition of those parts i will need to have them replaced with the cost still at $9,500. my third option was to decline the recall and drive the truck as is with the truck deemed unsafe to drive by the toyota dealership. the time frame i was given to make a decision was short of nothing. i had to make a decision by the end of the phone call that meant spending $9,500 or drive with an unsafe vehicle that at any given moment could cause a serious or fatal accident. i was forced into declining the recall because i do not have $9,500 in my bank account. also, after i concluded my business with the dealership, i proceeded to ask them what the trade in value on my truck was to see if buying another vehicle was an option. their response was $500 due to the recalled frame thus trading in and purchasing a new vehicle is not a viable option. would you mind reviewing my case? *tr

When driving over unequal pavement on road, felt and heard noise at rear of vehicle. saw wheel tumbling down road behind vehicle. stopped vehicle and noticed that it was spare tire from vehicle. placed spare tire in bed of truck and when i got home, noticed that the bracket/plate that was securing the spare tire to the underside of the bed had separated from the cable that was holding it in place. the bracket/plate was so corroded/rusted that when the truck hit the bump, the weight of the spare wheel caused it to collapse and allowed the spare tire to fall onto the road. *js

After proper maintenance and also being told that this 2002 tundra was not recalled due to frame rust and disintegration, this vehicle is now deemed unfit by three independent mechanics/welders due to holes in the frame. there is pervasive and extensive damage. when assistance from toyota was sought, a case manager was assigned (case number 1405021511) and the final ruling was that our tundra did not qualify for the recall and therefore toyota was not responsible. it is negligent on the part of toyota to not offer any assistance in finding a solution to this problem. the frame issue is a direct result of negligent manufacture. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that the vehicle's frame was rusted. the vehicle was taken to lee toyota (115 main st, topsham, me 04086, (207) 729-3358) and the contact was referred to the manufacturer. the manufacturer stated that they could not assist. the vehicle was taken to an unknown facility five years ago for an unknown recall repair related to the failure. the vehicle was treated with an undercoating for the frame to prevent rusting; however, the failure worsened. lee toyota also stated that they could not repair the vehicle, but would help refer the contact to an independent mechanic who could help weld the frame. the failure mileage was 90,000.

Last year my spare tire and holding bracket tore loose from the frame and onto the highway. i went to a local garage to find the cause of the problem and was told that the frame is so corroded it is not safe to drive. latter we learned that there had been two major safety recalls on the 2002 tundra.many were notified of these recalls and had new frames installed by toyota at no cost to the owners. we were not notified of these recalls by the dealership where we bought the truck nor by toyota corporation.in november 2013 we went to shepard toyota in rockland where we bought the truck and they told us that the recall had expired.i then sent a letter by certified mail to toyota customer experience center on december 30, 2013. they did not reply. there were 2 major safety recalls on my truck and i was not notified. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that while driving various speeds, the front passenger's side tire became detached unexpectedly from the vehicle. there was a loss of steering control and the vehicle began to skid 35-40 feet before proceeding to stop. the vehicle then collapsed to the ground. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and an authorized dealer, in which both informed the contact that the brake lines and the frame was corroded. in addition, the front passenger's side ball joint was defective. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id numbers: 09v444000 (structure) and 05v225000 (suspension) however, the vehicle was not included in either. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 250,000. the vin was unavailable.

Severely rusted frame. may impact structural integrity. just learned that a neighbor had their frame replaced recently, and discovered my frame is severely rusted too. today toyota dealer said there was a recall (but it ended last year). i never got a notification (letter) of the recall. dealer could not make the repairs for me. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that while driving 65 mph, a loud noise dragging noise was heard. after inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the fuel tank was dragging on the ground. the vehicle was towed to a dealer and diagnosed that the universal joint had become fractured and as result, the drive shaft and fuel tank were dropped. the contact decided to take the vehicle to a second dealer for and the technician stated that the frame was cracked. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileage was 170,000.

We had taken our vehicle in for a recall to our local dealership and they said the frame of our vehicle was not bad but they did the undercoat option. that was less than a year ago and now our frame on our vehicle is severely rusted and they are saying there is nothing we can do about it because the time has expired. we also called toyota and they said that it was expired and it is up to the dealership to decide what to do. in our opinion they should have just done the frame replacement at the time of the first visit! if the undercoating was to take care of the issue why now are we having issues!! what is more important than the safety of a customer and the people surrounding them when they drive!!! *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. upon taking the vehicle to an independent repair shop for routine maintenance, it was diagnosed that the frame had extensive rust, corrosion, and could fracture. the frame needed to be replaced. the independent mechanic recommended that the vehicle be taken to a dealer. the dealer indicated that a manufacturer recall had been completed in 2012 for the frame of the vehicle, but the contact was unable to confirm if the frame was replaced from the recall repair. the manufacturer also indicated that a recall repair was performed in 2012 and provided no solution. the failure mileage was not available.

I had recall for my tundra bed and there were going to resolve the rust issue at no charge. i took my truck to bobby rehal toyota in mechancisburg pa. they broke a part that wasn't part of the recall. they told me and if i wanted my truck back i had to pay for it. i tried to resolve with bobby rehal and toyota main office and they told me to pay if i wanted my truck and the part they broke was not part of the recall. i explained i didn't need or want this recall but was told it was a no cost recall by letter. i paid it but now i just received another recall for airbag but how can i take my truck to toyota not knowing the outcome of the recall so i may choose to do nothing because i cannot be sure they won't make me pay again for something i didn't want/need in the first place. thanks. *jb

Had frame replaced per recall, 5/2012. had been smelling gas after fill ups so had airport toyota, vandalia, ohio - repair while they had truck torn apart- told me the gas tank port was corroded so they put new gasket on. now i am smelling gas on passenger side. i am taking truck back to toyota. i am concerned about the corroded gas tank because i had it repaired once before. i believe this problem is just as important as the corroded tank straps that were replaced in 2010. it's not something that is seen easily. *tr

Severe frame rust causing rusting on brake lines, rusting and hole in the gas tank, steering rack, and rear axle is almost rusted threw. the frame rust is very severe and at this point i am sure it is a safety concern. *tr

Toyota tundra continue to have corrosion and rust on frame,last inspection on 1/1/12 in a toyota dealership they check for corrosion and did not find any,which is not accurate because as of 9/1/14 rust and a actual hole and crack was found by a certified frame technician..he said this should have been caught in year of 2012 because metal does not rust that quickly.it takes more that a couple years to actually cause a hole and cracks. toyota just did a visual and did not look thoroughly , they did not want to go to the expense of taking care of the problem leaving a unsafe vehicles on the roads and risking people lives. *tr

The rear frame and cross members are so rusty that it is causing the bed to rust from the frame up. everywhere the bed attaches to the frame it has rusted through. eventually the rust will be so bad that the rust around the bolt holes will no longer keep the bed attached to the frame . this is definitely a safety issue and toyota tells me that no recall has been issued for the beds of the rusty trucks. *kb

Steering rack rotted out and all the power steering fluid drained out almost instantly. thankfully i was pulling out of a parking space and not on the highway. i currently have excessive frame rust, a hole in the gas tank from rust, the rear differential is almost rotted threw, the gas tank straps have already been replaced. i am not sure if this vehicle is even safe to drive anymore. the dealer inspects it regularly for the frame rust but they have never provided a fix. *tr

Frame recall 90m and a0f i am getting different stories from toyota dealers and from toyota corporate about the number of years toyota is willing to inspect the frame and cross member and cover the cost of repair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that the rear frame mounts were rusted and the rear cab of the vehicle was no longer connected properly. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs under nhtsa recall campaign id number: 09v444000 (structure: frame and memebers: underbody shields), but was advised that the frame mounts were not included in the recall and would have to be repaired at the owner's expense. the failure mileage was 162,052.

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that the front area of the frame was rusted significantly. the vehicle was taken to the dealer previously for a repair under nhtsa campaign id number 09v444000 (structure: frame and members: underbody shields), the technician inspected the vehicle and advised that the recall repair was not necessary. he also noticed that the fuel tank straps exhibited rust corrosion and they were replaced. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired for the most recent frame defect. the failure mileage was 39,000.

Took my 2002 tundra to a local toyota dealer for a second time to inspect frame after being told by an independent licensed mechanic that my frame was perforated/rotted, the rear end housing was leaking, the spare tire hanger was broken,(tire missing), all heat shields were either broken,loose or missing and front brakes were in need of being replaced again. front brake rotors, pads and calipers were replaced 11/09/07. all of this had occurred since 05/06/2010 when the truck was last on his lift. harr toyota performed a frame inspection and verified all of the above failures. they also did the frame crossmember inspection in 01/10 and the truck passed. they specified that the frame failure was @lt rail/trans mt. they also said the rt ft sway bar link was broken, and noticed an exhaust leak. they declared that in spite of the frame failure it was safe to drive just don't do any offroading! so i guess that hitting a pothole would not be advised.! they told me that the brakes were unsafe, and not covered under any recall. i am very upset at the condition/value of my truck. i am also very upset that nhtsa is letting toyota get away with the "warranty enhancement" of replacing the frame only of these trucks. toyota and its dealers denied the rust problem for years. my problem started when the vehicle was still under warranty, and i was blamed for the failure. in the years that toyota has denied a problem with the tundra, the frame rust has infected, most if not all, of the truck. both bumpers are rotting off. the gas tank had to be patched (05/2010) because it was leaking fuel from a rust spot under one of the support straps. toyota will replace other compromised parts at the owners full expense. in my opinion they are using the frame replacement to generate part sales and repair business to help defer costs. nhtsa- please force a more comprehensive recall! !

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated that the rear end housing was leaking which caused the transmission to malfunction. the vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where gear oil was added to the transmission, but the failure continued. the contact stated that the entire frame needed to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired. the contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 53,900.

No major events but the paint began falling off my 2002 tundra in 2009. i was just told the top of the gas tank is now rusted out as well. $900 to replace. i have kept this truck up well. never had a gas tank rust out in any vehicle. *tr

2002 toyota tundra recalled for frame rust issues. took nearly 5 months for repairs, even with multiple calls to dealer and corporate. vehicle needed further repairs when returned for broken right front stabilizer bar. then failed sticker inspection because of dry rot in tires presumably from sitting so long? 1) nhtsa needs to set a reasonable time frame for vehicles to be repaired once recalled. five months is unacceptable. (2) nhtsa should review whether commingled old rusty 're-usable' parts with a new solid frame isn't in fact creating another issue causing the older parts to fail (there are many reports by bloggers of other things breaking or needing repair post the frame replacement . i personally feel less safe post recall than before (3) nhtsa should be doing post recall follow ups to ensure that toyota is properly repairing recalled vehicles, especially toyota's given their recent history. there are reports out there that things like tow hitches are not being replaced because they were 'after market' and in my case, the side steps were simply thrown in the back of the truck because they were too rusty to re-install. they also did not replace front and rear shocks and struts which have to have been compromised by the other rust issue? and (4) toyota has some severe customer service issues that it needs to address. *tr

i noticed a leak in the differential of my 2002 toyota tundra. an independent mechanic verified my observation that the differential was rusted through. i contacted two toyota dealers. only one was responsive with the information that toyota isn't going to pay for the repair. a search online reveals that my situation is not an isolated incident. i am stunned that no government agency involved in safety and consumer protection is on this. the truck has about 80000 miles on it. the body is excellent. the frame is fair and of course the differential/rear axle housing is dust. the vehicle is a potential road hazard and to protect ceo salaries possibly, there is a lack of government and corporate action--if there is any separation there. as evidenced by my situation and those of many others. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. while parked, the contact noticed the frame and underbody was corroded. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 09v444000 (structure: frame and members:underbody shields) but was advised by the manufacturer that the recall only pertained to vehicles in certain states and that his vehicle was not included in the recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. the contact stated the rear axle housing was rotted through and caused an unknown failure. the dealer advised replacing the rear axle housing and all gears at the contact's expense. the manufacturer would not provide any assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 98,000.

My 2002 tundra and my sisters 2001 tundra have been recalled twice for rust issues, the first was for gas tank and straps, the second for frame rust. we brought our trucks to herb chambers in auburn ma. for the second time we were told they were fine. exception was they wanted me to bring my 2002 back because they were "replacing gas tank straps in all recalls as a precaution." the problem with this is that they told my sister no such thing. our vehicles are only 8 years old, both gas fill doors rusted shut and we had to break them open to get gas and then replace the locks, my battery housing rusted and i almost lost my battery. our runners are rusting, the side of my truck is rusting, we both find rust lines on the road or in the garage along the sides of our trucks. a bracket rusted and severed my brake line when i took a turn, my sisters power steering line was severed by a rusted part. yet our cars are "fine". i was also told that "with the tacoma's we looked for perforations with a hammer and a pick like tool but with the tundra we will visually inspect for perforations so you won't have to wait long." my issue is why do i now need gas tank straps? perhaps this will help if any future issues arise. plain and simply i think that toyota is not being up front and that is dangerous. thank you *tr

Severe corrosion of vehicle frame and frame cross members, front end parts, and attachment hangers to frame of 2002 toyota tundra which will result in eventually weakening and failure of the above mentioned items causing a possible accident, injuries and possibly death. *tr

Brought my 2002 toyota tundra to a dealer for the safety recall that i received. i was informed that the frame was ok, and the rear cross-member was ok too. well, i received a call that the dealer had the part for me! i didn't order the part or did they tell me that the spare tire hanger was defective. it is part of the rear cross member assembly, and should be part of the re-call. they want me to pay for the part & labor to put it in, and the told me that it is not covered by the re-call. no offer was made by the dealer... *tr

The steering rack on my 2002 toyota tundra rusted out, burst and caused a power steering failure while driving. this is a permanent failure and the toyota dealership advised not to drive the vehicle. nothing was offered to fix it without a $1400 repair bill. *tr

I have a 2002 toyota tundra that is leaking gas. initially i noticed a fuel smell when i walked by the truck which progressed to seeing fuel on the ground. if i put too much gas in the truck, over 1/2 tank, you can see the fuel leaking through the 4x4 fuel tank protective cover. i had the truck put on a lift and was told that fuel was leaking from the seam of the tank. i recently took my truck to toyota in response to the recall re:excessive frame rust and my truck passed that inspection. i have less than 51,000 miles on this truck and i am afraid to drive it on the highway. i have lived in ma for 22 years and have never had a fuel tank problem. on 04/06/10 i took my truck to a required yearly inspection. my check engine light was on and the garage told me that my vehicle had failed the emissions test. i have been following other owners reports online and have noticed that more people are reporting leaking fuel tanks. extensive research indicates that aftermarket gas tanks are not available for this model/year so i must have toyota either do the work, or minimally, get the part from them. based on their recent reputation, i am not thrilled about taking my truck back to them. i have 60 days from the failure date to get it repaired and reinspected to avoid losing my registration! i need this truck to be safe for me and all the other drivers that i encounter. can you please look into this safety concern? *tr
