Problems with 2003 Toyota Tundra WHEELS

Two items here: first i went to change my tire with my spare and it was missing. the tire service company said the tire must have fallen off somewhere as the cable holding the spare tire was rusted off. 2nd, i had my tundra put up on a lift to see what the banging sound was. one of the shock's connections was rusted off and just hanging. he also stated that the whole frame and crankcase on the rear drive area looked like "bark on a tree" and could be very dangerous to drive in this condition

Driving and made a left turn when the right front wheel went flying and the truck started swirving in circles. and caused a major damage in which the dealer doesnt want to respond. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 toyota tundra. while the vehicle was being repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 09v444000 (structure), the technician discovered that there was corrosion on the rear cross member. the vehicle was repaired; however, the remedy failed to repair the failure. while driving at approximately 45 mph, the vehicle started to shake and the rear driver side tire detached. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

After putting the vehicle in gear and starting the drive, a grinding/squealing sound started coming from the front driver's side wheel. this sound continued until the vehicle could be parked and taken to an auto repair shop to be looked at (parked within 1 mile of original starting point). the repair shop deemed the vehicle unsafe to drive due to a failed wheel bearing. the repair shop had a similar experience with a previously worked on toyota prerunner where the same incident occurred, but the driver continued to drive the vehicle. the truck was eventually towed back to the shop after the wheel became cocked at a 90 degree angle while the driver was on the road. *tt

2003 toyota tundra extended cab i checked my front brake pads. when i replaced the tire, two lug bolts failed at 70ft/lbs of torque. the specifications are tighten to 80ft/lbs. when i purchased new bolts at a dealer, the parts counterman said he was selling a lot of these lately. *jb

The wheels rusted inside all the wheel wells. *jb manufacturer/dealer had done nothing, stating that the problem was due to the severe winter and refused to fix under warranty. scc
