Frame failure due to corrosion: toyota had placed a "warranty enhancement" to replace the frames because they weren't treated for corrosion but with an enhancement, it expires and did so in 2017. I just bought the truck and learned they have a safety recall for corrosion of the spare wheel compartment. This is the same issue. Why is the frame not a safety recall?? I have huge holes and large cracks along much of the…

I purchased a used toyota tacoma 2002 on 12/16/11 (now with 124k miles). Toyota issued an extended warranty coverage to owners regarding a safety issue & the possibility of frame splitting with steps to take for toyota to cover this issue in a 1x letter they sent out in feb 2012. Toyota sent the letter to the previous owner & not to me (the rightful owner at that time.) i recently found out about this problem from a…

I received a interim notice letter from toyota in 2011, stating that the frame had a coating defect. I took it to my local oxmoor toyota dealer in 2011 and they put a wax coating on the frame to stop the frame from rusting more. I received a recall letter on the spare tire assembly and i had oxmoor toyota fix that as well. The assembly was rusting away. This week i was driving down the road (hwy 480) and the truck…

The vehicle's frame completely rusty to the point that i fear it will break at any time. I recently took it to the mechanic to replace the timing belt and other belts and a lot of the bolts broke when trying to change the belts. I believe this is a manufacturing error. More than likely, the factory used low grade materials which caused the truck to rust a lot faster over time. This is a safety concern. If due to…
