2001 tacoma. The 15 year extended warranty is not enough; it should be a mandatory recall/inspection with no time limitations. Frames are visibly rusting through after the warranty expires, but the frames are defective prior to that and owners don't realize it because no recall was ever issued and any visible inspection doesn't reveal the problem. I know now that my frame was defective during the warranty period but…

2001 tacoma, took in for an oil change and they couldn't lift the truck. The frame was rusted through on both sides. Going on line it appears this is a common problem with toyota tacoma's. Toyota needs to address this. Fortunately i was not in an accident or towing anything as the frame is totally gone and unsafe to drive. Doesn't look like anyone is having any luck with toyota addressing the problem. Sad that…

Frame recall: when i received notice of this recall i took it to a dealer in slc, ut and had it checked on 9/22/08. I was informed that it was fine and they didn't do anything to it. Now 8 years later, my truck has turned into a safety hazard because the frame is so rusted out, i can't even get my brake line that recently broke repaired. I have been told that this particular recall expired in 2014. I don't…

2001 toyota tacoma 4x4 bought new and has 186,000 miles and the frame is almost broke completely into. I have never received any recall on my vehicle. Toyota can say what they want about sending me one but i have never received one. So i must say that we have purchased approximately 4 or 5 new ones and have never experienced anything like this. We have owned probably 9 or 10 used ones. I'm trying to get some help on…

To my dismay, the right rear shock mount pulled free from the frame due to rust that was to have be corrected at my dealership under the toyota truck frame recall. I brought it to my dealership and they said it was toyota's choice to either undercoat or replace the frame. My vehicle was undercoated. Unfortunately i now have an…

I am unsure when this had happened but the frame on my 2001 toyota tacoma is corroded and broken into 2 pieces in 2 different areas. The place where it is broken is not corroded but just broke. Would like to know if this truck is under a safety issue that toyota should be responsible for or if it is just an expensive paper weight.

I have a 2001 toyota tacoma and the frame is broken in two on the passenger side of the truck and rusted in two on the other side of the truck. The truck is very unsafe to drive and i am learning there was a recall on these trucks for faulty frames. I have also learned that they stopped the recall in 2012 before i owned the truck. How is this going to help me if i bought the truck after the recall is over but the…

Rust seems to be coming off by the handfuls and pieces thick enough that i am concerned. I looked under my truck and among other things, metal lines (brake, steering, not sure), the gas tank, and steering linkage became my biggest concern. By the thickness of rust i have gotten from my vehicle i am certain it is not surface rust. How much will something rust before it becomes a failure, especially with a line under…

While i was driving the passenger side wheel completely buckled under the truck. Luckily, i was only driving 15 mph. Had this broken while i was on the interstate, i would have been injured or injured someone else. As a result, the mechanic found that both ball joints were bad so both were replaced. The frame is completely rusted out and the spare tire cannot be removed. No notice was ever given to us or the…

Takata recall oct.2014 our truck wouldn't pass inspection because frame rusted out. The spare tire fell off on the highway, so we knew we had a problem. We called toyota and they said they couldn't do anything because recall ended and that we had been sent a paper in 2010( the year we moved) they told us they couldn't do anything about the spare tire because we had to still have the tire. So we had to find some to…

The truck is unsafe to drive and i fear of safety for my family. I contacted toyota and they advised me that the voluntary buyback program for fixing this was expired. I am now left with an immaculately clean car in pristine shape that cannot…
