THE FRAME AND TRUCK BED HAVE SEVERE RUST ISSUES. THE TRUCK BED IS SHACKING NOW WHEN DRIVING. THE FRAME WAS "SPRAYED" WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON WINCHESTER ROAD THEY HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF RUST ON THE FRAME AND ON THE TRUCK BED AND ADVICE ME TO RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN TRADE FOR ANOTHER CAR. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC BEFORE I BOUGHT AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE OK. LATE ON ANOTHER MECHANIC POINTED OUT SEVERE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS INSPECT THE TRUCK AND SAID THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MYSEFL HOW TO GET A NEW FRAME AND A NEW TRUCK BED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. MY MECHANIC ADVICE ME TO CONTACT NHTSA.

THE RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA FOR RUSTED FRAME WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD SPRAY IT WITH RUST PROHIBITIVE. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR MANY YEARS AND IF THE FRAME IS NOT STRIPPED DOWN AND SANDBLASTED TO METAL THERE IS NO GUARANTEED METHOD TO STOP THE RUSTING. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE ALL THE FRAMES OTHERWISE IN A FEW YEARS THERE WILL BE MORE BROKEN FRAMES ON THE ROADS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR OFFICE WAS INVOLVED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUITE BUT I AM REASONABLE SURE LAWYERS AND JUDGES NO NOTHING OF MECHANICS OR ENGINEERING. I PLAN OF KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR MANY MORE YEARS AND IF THE FRAME FAILS THEN I WILL GETTING LEGAL COUNSEL FOR A RECOURSE TO SOME ENTITY BE IT GOVERNMENT OR COMMERCIAL. IF YOU ALL TAKE YOUR JOBS SERIOUSLY THAN THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED SOONEST BEFORE TOYOTAS ARE FALLING APART ON THE HIGHWAYS AND KILLING PEOPLE. THEY MADE THE ERROR AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT NOT US!!!!

I WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T HELP BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS BUILT (OF CONFIGURED) FOR THE CANADIAN MARKET.

I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1500 WORTH OF BRAKE CABLES, TENSIONER AND OTHER RUSTED PARTS. I WAS TOLD, THIS TRUCK IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOBODY IS LISTENING. THIS SITUATION IS CAUSING ME A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND STRESS. I'M PLANNING TO CONTACT MY LAWYER NEXT WEEK TO DISCUSS OUT OPTIONS IF THERE IS NO RESOLUTION.

I RECENTLY PURCHASES A USED 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE ON AC PAVEMENT WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES, BUT UPON PURCHASING AND DRIVING ON MY TYPICAL FREEWAY COMMUTE TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEEDS (55-70MPH) IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING RESONATED AT ONE POINT SO VIOLENTLY THAT I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO DRASTICALLY SLOW DOWN TO REGAIN CONTROL. I AM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY AND THAT OF ANY PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY MY CHILDREN. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND FORUM INFORMATION ONLINE THAT SPEAKS TO THIS "BED BOUNCE" PROBLEM, AND A RELEVANT TSB FROM TOYOTA. HOWEVER, I CANNOT FIND AN OFFICIAL TSB FROM TOYOTA ONLINE OR A GENUINE FIX TO THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I JUST BOUGHT A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND NEEDLESS TO SAY VERY ANGRY THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM IN FULL.

VEHICLE FRONT END VIBRATES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. THERE IS SEVER STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. THE FRONT TIRES ARE SHOWING WEAR THE OUT SIDE PORTION OF THE TIRE.

TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER A MINIMUM OF FOUR TIMES TO REVIEW THE SITUATION. 2. HAD AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. 3. BOTH THE DEALER SHIP AND THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP AGREE THERE IS A VIBRATION ISSUE. 4. THE DEALER CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS WITH THE TIRE BALANCE. THEY HAVE "ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES". 5. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. AT TIMES THE VIBRATION IS VERY SEVER AND OTHER TIMES THE VIBRATION IS NON EXISTENT.

I HAVE A 2007 TUNDRA DC TRD TRUCK. I REPLACED THE OEM TIRES AT 19500 MILES (BFG RUGGED TRAILS) WITH MICHELIN LTX AT2'S MARCH 2009. I NOW HAVE 23,800 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW ANYTIME I GO OVER ANY TYPE OF BUMP REGARDLESS OF SPEED THE BED BOUNCES SO BAD THAT IT VIBRATES UP THROUGH THE CAB. THE BED BOUNCED BEFORE BUT NOT THIS BAD. I FEEL IT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. IF I DRIVE ON A BACK DIRT ROAD THE BACK END BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I REPORTED IT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009. NOW THAT THE MECHANIC CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN CA, HE SAID THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT. SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS THE TIRES. DEALER RECOMMENDED I ADD WEIGHT IN THE BED, I ADDED 5 SANDBAGS, 300 LBS (WINTER IS ALMOST HERE) AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE TO THE RIDE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED.

I JUST PURCHASED AN 07 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED 2WD PICKUP TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING ON ANY CEMENT FREEWAY (ESPECIALLY THOSE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (101 VENTURA)), I EXPERIENCED A "BED BOUNCE" THAT WAS SO SEVERE, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS LOSS OF CONTROL OCCURRED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 60MPH TO 75MPH. I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CONFIRMED IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TUNDRA TRUCKS BUT ARE NOT WORKING ON ANY FIXES. THIS ANSWER IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON "CEMENT" FREEWAYS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF CONTROL. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.... I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU.
