I have a lot of frame rust. I have read that many have same issue. No one has any suggestions on what to do next. Some of these vehicles frames have rusted completely and are not usable.

I received a letter from Toyota telling me I needed to have my frame inspected at the dealership in 2014. I did this and the dealership said my frame was fine. Less than 2 years later my mechanic informed me that my frame was not fine and urged me to contact the dealer or Toyota corporate directly. I did so but they said that the recall that had been placed on the frames had expired. I recently had some brake work done on the truck after my brake lines burst. The same mechanic informed me that the frame was so bad that he did not think it would pass inspection. I once again contacted Toyota directly and they said their was nothing they could do. My truck is currently having the frame analyzed by a third party in hopes repairs can be made so that I do not have to buy a new truck. The truck has 112000 and I intended to put many more miles on it than that. Also related to the metal used under that truck, in 2014 the rear pumpkin rusted all the way through and I needed to have a new rear suspension put in. Furthermore, I took advantage of ziebart undercoating that the dealer was advertising where for the first 6 years I owned the truck, 2008-2014, I had it undercoated once every year. The fact that it had been protected with the undercoating the first 6 years I had it and then 2 years later was rusted through is an indication to me that their is some sort of manufactures defect.

I had my vehicle serviced at a local Toyota dealership to address the frame rust corrosion recall. Corporate guidelines indicate the necessity to inspect, remove the pickup bed, remove any rust and reinspect for rust perforation. Corporate allows 8-9 billable hours to the dealership for this service. My vehicles service was completed in less than 4. upon inspection, it is apparent that the dealership never removed the bed nor removed any rust prior to spraying the frame with its "crc". I had documented photographs to prove this point and then contacted Toyota corporate. By Toyota corporate's request, I returned to the dealership to have the vehicle inspected. Upon inspection, the dealership's shop manager acknowledged that the bed was not removed and multiple areas of rust that had been left untouched. Only further indicating that in addition to not removing the bed, the dealership did not bother to remove any existing rust from the frame either. The dealership refused to strip and properly treat the frame as indicated by corporate guidelines. I contacted corporate and they are refusing to take any additional actions. As it stands, it is questionable at best as to how long it will be before there is a potential failure here. This is no isolated incident either, there are many owners who are being defrauded in a similar fashion. Five minutes on google will easily prove this point. As far as I understand, Toyota settled with the frame manufacturer (dana Corp) for around $25 million. So Toyota sought out and gained financial reimbursement on their end but when it come to taking care of those who have been damaged, not so much. I strongly encourage anyone from the NHTSA to contact me for additional details regarding the matter. I have multiple photographs documenting the issue and the failed attempt at covering it up.

Paint on front bumper came off when washing at carwash. A friend has a Toyota car that had the same thing happen. The dealer will not fix under warranty. This is clearly a defect. They offered to have the local guy fix while he is on the lot.
