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 secondary air injection pump has failed, resulting in the limp mode condition of the truck. The truck has lost climbing power and will not be able to drive more than 45 mph. I have been told that there was a recall for the same problem in the second generation Tundra's. the Toyota dealer has given a $2200. Estimate to fix the problem. Is there, or was there ever a recall for the first generation Tundra's with this problem" and if so, is my tudra included in that recall" thanks.
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.
Anti rust coating was applied in 2016 as part of a recall- coating was not properly applied and moisture got underneath. Now, 2020, most of the coating has peeled off, revealing a 3 inch hole in my frame and a comepletley broken cross member near the gas tank. This is unacceptable to me that royota would cover up this problem like this and not replace all frames. This is not safe. My truck runs amazing, and only has 105000 miles on it. I expect something to be done!
Structural frame rusted through. Toyota dealer sprayed frame in 2014 and said the frame would be fine as of four years ago the frame has rotted through under the drivers side. Some structural supports also rotted on the frame. Contact with Toyota customer service and with the dealer it's frustrating and non-productive.when the dealer sprayed the frame they failed to plug all the holes in the frame. At this point there is no additive or sealer that the dealer sprayed on the frame it has all washed away. I can actually place four fingers thru the bottom of the frame. This has been ongoing since 2017 when I first notice the rot. Consumer stated frame and trailer hitch was rusted.

2006 Tundra with ~150K miles has developed a broken frame. Break is in the right frame rail starting just behind the sway bar and extends roughly 10" back almost to the sway bar mount. This vehicle was serviced with a frame undercoating in a 'limited service campaign' in July 1015.
The frame on my O6 Tundra is deteriorated badly tire shop wouldn't perform work requested. My question is you send recalls for airbags etc. For the safety of passengers what about everyone on the roads safety. Toyota should be responsible for this as they were with many other models. This should be looked at for the safety of everyone on the road.
My 2006 Tundra double cab 4.7L limited 4WD has a significantly large cut on the frame due to rust. The cut starts on the frame from the bracket holding the sway bar link back to the crossmember frame. This rust is spreading and is extremely dangerous for me and my family. This vehicle is my daily commute vehicle and I live in a northern region of the us where salt is used on roads during the winter. The vehicle history has always been from the northern region. Please contact me regarding a frame recall or replacement as soon as possible as this is a very concerning safety issue for myself and my family.
The frame was sprayed a few years back for a rust recall. The spray did not help and after bringing my truck to the mechanic for maintenance, it was revealed that the rust has now caused holes in the frame and it is beginning to separate at the weld. The brake lines are also about to pop.
We had the truck inspected in June 2019 after just doing new break lines which rusted, we had also just put new tires on it. Truck passed inspection June 2019. Truck developed power steering leak in July. While looking into the leak we noticed the frame rusted and the anti sway bar is completely rusted off the frame. Can not trade this in or sell it now. Mileage 124K.
Excessive frame rot on my 2006 Tundra. The truck was brought to the dealer to have the corrosion coating applied but it didn't stop the frame from rotting prematurely. Two years later all the coating has peeled off and the rust has gotten way worse. The same year sequoias have the same frame and they were recalled. Why hasn't the 2003-2006 Tundra been included? this is a safety issue an must be resolved.
Rusted frame with hole has been deemed by portsmouth Toyota as unsafe to drive the vehicle was brought to meinke initially because it felt unsafe to drive
My service provider reported in October 2018 that the underside of the vehicle was very rusted. I had them replace the rusted muffler. During the test drive after repairs the front brake line burst because of rust. I had it repaired. During pressure testing after repairs the rear brake line burst because of rust. At this point, the dealer showed me that the frame was so deteriorated that it required replacement. The cost of this repair would be more than the blue book value of the vehicle, so I parked the truck in my driveway. If my wife and I would have been driving when the brake lines burst, we could have been killed. I have never heard of brake lines rusting and failing before. Toyota claims that I was notified to have the frame inspected in 2015 for possible replacement. I was not notified. Toyota refuses to do anything to help with my problem. This vehicle with every option available at the time of purchase is no longer usable. How many other Tundra out there have the potential of brake lines failing because of rust.
The VIN associated with my vehicle brings up a different model in NHTSA database. I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra crew cab (4 door). The information in the database is for an access cab. The weight limits, specifications, parts, and recalls are different for these two models. How do I go about correcting this? thank you
Driving home at the end of our vacation, my wife and I were in seperate vehicles, she in front of me on I-80 going West bound. We'd just gotten off the george Washington bridge and as traffic was building and slowing, she braked ahead of me and when I pressed my brake it went to the floor. I couldn't stop in time before rear ending the car my wife was driving. It was a low speed impact, maybe 25 mph. No police report and we just kept driving after checking that all was ok. I took the truck to the shop to have the brakes repaired and the mechanic called me to say the brake lines and everything associated needed to be replaced. He stated he cannot do the work due to the fact the truck is rusted beyond repair and he felt unsafe to work underneath the truck for fear of it falling on him. I found there was a recall on the truck for rusted frame issues and the window to respond was missed due to personal reasons involving care of a since deceased mother. I tried to talk to Toyota but the short answer is I was too late even though the rusted frame is only worsening with time due to from what I understand is a manufacturing flaw with the method these trucks were produced.
My Toyota Tundra has sever frame rust and will not pass inspection. The truck has 173,000 miles on it and I just got it paid off and will now have to junk it.
