STRUCTURE
1994 TOYOTA PICKUP HAS HOLES IN FRAME FROM RUST. I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES AND FOUND THE FRAME ROT AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION. THE RECALL ONLY GOES BACK TO THE 1995 MODELS AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I FEEL THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY TOYOTA.

AFTER WATCHING A NEWS REPORT CONCERNING THE 2000 TUNDRA FRAME ROT WE INSPECTED OUR VEHICLE AN FOUND THAT THE FRAME AND SPRINGS HAD EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION AS WELL AS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. WE ALSO REACHED BEHIND THE FRAME THAT WE COULD NOT SEE AND MAJOR RUST FLAKES WERE COMING OFF AS WE PUT PRESSURE ON THEM. WE ALSO HAVE VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. THE TRUCK ALSO TENDS TO LURCH AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN IN AN IDLE POSITION WHEN YOU PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO DRIVE. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO NEW BREAK JOBS IN 2 YEARS.

THE LAST TIME I HAD MY 1992 TOYOTA TRUCK DLX LUBED AND OIL CHANGED, THE AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC SAID MY FRAME WAS RUSTING IN TWO UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY PICKUP TRUCK. HE SAID IT COULD BE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH THE FRAME RUSTING AWAY LIKE THIS. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA MFG WAS RECALLING CERTAIN TRUCKS FOR THIS REASON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET MY TRUCK INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL?

THE REAR CENTER BUMPER OF MY 2000 TOYOTA FORRUNER SR5 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS RUSTING. I NOTICED ON MANY OTHER 2000 FORRUNERS THAT THERE IS ALSO A RUST PROBLEM , AGAIN ONLY ON THE CENTER BUMPER. BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES I OBSERVED RUSTING IN THE SAME LOCATION IT APPEARS TO BE A PRODUCT DEFECT AND FAILURE. I WROTE TO TOYOTA AND CALLED THEM, THEY SAID TO BRING IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY, BUT MAYBE THEY WOULD CHIP IN HALF FOR THE REPAIR. THEY COMPLETELY WASTED MY TIME, AS AFTER I WASTED A HALF DAY BRINGING IT OVER, THEY ACKNOWLEGED THE RUST WASNT FROM DAMAGE, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I TOLD THEM THEN WHY WAS I TOLD TO BRING IT OVER TO LOOK AT AND WASTE MY TIME. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A VALID ANSWER. I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 5 OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE.
