The springs that are attached to the frame is at risk of breaking free from the frame and the frame breaking in two. My truck is barely nine years old. I am one of those rare auto owners who keep their vehicles for more than 10 years. I have never had a vehicle that had problems with corroded frames - ever…

160k miles my truck frame, in the rear around the leaf springs and back completely rusted out. I had this truck on a lift 1.5 years ago and inspected it with a mechanic and it was fine. This frame rust happened very quickly. The truck is unsafe to drive now. Only choice is to part it out or junkyard. Getting someone to weld the frame is near impossible. Truck is fine shape otherwise. *tr

I was informed in sept. 2007 that my truck probably will not pass inspection in 2008 due to excessive rust on my trucks frame. The truck is only eight years old. Doesn't this constitute premature frame deterioration? The inspectors suggested that i have someone weld steel onto the frame. It was recommended that i do this before this winter so it is not exposed to any more salt from the roads. *tr

My husband and i have always been big fans of toyota's. They seem to last a long time, and since we knew we would be footing the bill to send our youngest to a private college in 2002, we decided that we would trade our 1991 toyota 4 runner in for a brand new toyota 1999 tacoma, in july 1999. We thought that this would ensure that we would have a vehicle that we could put a couple of hundred thousand miles on and…
