We started to notice the rust on the roof of the car during the summer. It has gotten progressively worse. The hood of the car is also fading badly. This type of rust should not be happening.
The Frame of my Tacoma 2006 is heavily rusted and perforated. I submitted a complaint to Toyota customer service and their answer was "we are sorry but we can't do anything. Once the vehicle is outside of its warranty parameters, the cost of repairs becomes the owner’s responsibility†and we are talking of a repair cost of $10,000.
Toyota is refusing to accept that this manufacture defect that is affecting the structural integrity of thousand of Tacoma trucks in the whole country and is becoming a huge financial quandary for hundreds and hundreds of costumers. Sooner or later Toyota Corporation will be accountable.
Bought truck new in 2007, have taken to Younger Toyota in Hagerstown, Maryland several times to complain about rusted frame, leaking cab and still to this day they have not helped me at all.
where to begin frame rusting to pieces finish bubbling off the wheels cab leaks heat shields rusted off exhaust several electrical problems interior is junk only has 60000 miles on it be lucky if it makes 100000 this truck is a total piece off junk i have owned toyotas all my life have a 86 4runner that the undercarriage is in better shape and it has over 400000 miles on it i am very dissapointed with this truck and toyota will not do anything to help u would think for 28000 doolars u could get a decent truck
The frame is severely rusted at all joints. Since the truck is garaged 95% of the time, always clean (even engine compartment), and only has 12,000 total miles on this 2006 vehicle, it is extremely illogical. The warranty covers only "perforated" rust. It is not perforated but will be that way in a year or so.
