Toyota frame recall - i have a 2005 toyota tacoma with holes and cracks visible in the frame. I can only imagine the damage internally to the frame. Huge chunks of frame rust come from the inside of the frame when pressure washed. The truck was originally purchased and resided in the northeast for the majority of the vehicle's life. The truck was obviously exposed to road salts and as a result the frame has been…

Rusted tow hitch! As i wait for a replacement frame, due to a recent recall, i inquired about the heavily rusted, factory installed, tow hitch. I bought the truck to haul a 3,000+ lbs boat and seeing how the rust could jeopardize normal operations, and perhaps cause an accident, worries me a lot. I was told the hitch is not covered yet if i bought one it could be installed, free of charge, while swapping the frame.…

My truck frame is rusting abnormally. Toyotas official inspection found no holes >10mm.- no further action. The frame is bad. The corrosion i would guess is secondary to bad steel-not enough nickel? Is there a standard for steel in this application? I need your help. I cant get toyota to do the right thing on my own. Much sooner than it should this vehicle will be unsafe to drive. I mean a well maintained car (which…

The paint on my vehicle is highly vulnerable to chipping and peeling. The base seems very thin and there are hundreds of chips in the paint, causing the vehicle to rust. It seems to be a very common problem. I live in the midwest and we don't use sand when it snows, so it is not road conditions, just everyday driving that is causing the problem. *jb
