I own a 2000 Toyota Tundra and a few years ago it began to shed its paint. It spots up like it is corroded with a chemical then begins to peel off. By this point the whole truck has either peeled off or is spotted. The running boards are also corroded and rusting with holes all over them. I contacted Toyota and a rep looked at the truck and preceded to accuse me of exposing my truck to a chemical and saying he had never seen this happen before. They refused to make it right. I know of another lady with the same year truck and color of mine who has experienced the same problem. I did not buy my truck new, but it was only 5 or 6 yrs. Old when this problem began to occur. I am thinking that I cannot be the only one out here who is experiencing this. Thank you for all the help you can offer.

2000 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. Had the truck inspected in April of 2009 and found that the steel frame underneath the truck is rotting out the mechanic that we use said the frame may last another year.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra SR5 and the metal used is not of good quality. I have repaired the leaf springs on both sides three times due to the leafs breaking and I have never loaded the bed. Also, the frame is extremely rotted with large chunks falling off. Additionally the windshield leaks due to the metal rusting around the frame. I am very disappointed with this and have now heard several complaints from others about similar problems. I am the original owner of this truck and have always had it serviced by a certified Toyota mechanic and fully expected it to last much longer as my previous Toyota product had.

Very concerned about the rust under my 2000 Toyota Tundra. It was inspected for the initial bed rust in Jan 08 by my local dealer after a local reputable body shop agreed with me that things were not right underneath. Dealer rep dismissed my concerns and did nothing. Now I'm reading about these things falling apart. The below incident date is the date of the inspection. I intend to have another inspection by the dealer I purchased the truck from in the near future.

The bed of my truck has roughly 8-10 rust holes that all formed on top of the cross member supports. One hole formed over the bed bolt which has now rendered this bolt useless in holding down the bed. All rust came from under the bed and eventually made its way through. There seems to be a serious factory defect in the seem sealer that they used around the cross members. The sealer broke down which allowed moisture and salt to enter and ruin my bed. Also the frame of my truck has a significant amount of rust for its age and condition. It is occurring around the rear shackles most weld seems and other areas. I have done my best to neutralize the rust with proper prep and paint but it only buys time for the inevitable. Toyota has had a problem with their Tacoma trucks rusting through and I feel that they have the same problem with the Tundra trucks. The rust problems my truck faces will eventually make my truck inoperable. It may cause a great threat to the safety of myself and other motorists if there is a rust failure on my 2000 Toyota Tundra.

A television bumped the left rear tire well(in bed of truck), putting a dent in it and causing it to split the area of the truck. The split was about 9 inches long. Driver was making a right turn, traveling about 7 mph when the incident happened.
