This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that there was corrosion and rust on the frame, rear axle and brake system. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign id number 09V444000 (structure: Frame and members: Underbody shields). The vehicle was taken to dealer where the contact was advised that the recall repairs could not be perfomred due to the state in which the vheicle was housed. The dealer then advised that there were no holes in the frame that would require immediate attention. The bumper, grill, hood and fender were replaced. The current and failure mileage was 90,000.
Noticed oil in drive way looked under truck and notice my steering rack was leaking and stabilizer links were rusted off. Took to mechanic for repairs and he informed me my whole exhaust was rusted as well as the body. Took to a Toyota dealership back in 2009 for body rust recall and was told it was ok. I now no that was not true.

2001 Toyota Tundra issues - after seeing the latest report on Tundra, I felt it was necessary to file a complaint. My truck has had numerous items crack on it starting around the 85K mile range. First the manifolds, then the leaf springs, leaking front calipers. We notified Toyota when all these issues happened because the repair costs were going to be 3,000. They sent us a check at one point for $500 to be used at the dealer. Now I am going to take my truck in for rust investigation because of the news report I saw this evening.
