Engine motor mount to frame support bracket was welded using too high of a current setting on robot welder and weld is undercut into base metal on frame. This has the potential to crack or rust through over time and can cause the engine to break loose from the frame. On 2005 and 2006 toyota tacoma's . Toyota has made a correction to the 2007 models by adding a reinforcement plate over the frame in this area before…

Underside of frame has rust. Toyota informed me of the prior recall up to year 2004. That was a bad batch of metal in which they were recalling the trucks due to extensive rust on the frame. 2005 has a different frame (toyota's attempt to correct problem). This problem has not been fixed. My father has a 2006 toyota tacoma and he was the one to alert me to look at mine as his is rusting too. Toyota is nonresponsive…

1. 2005 toyota tacoma frame rust. I bought the truck locally here in springfield mo, it was purchased here originally. It was certified by toyota. I have found that the frame is rusting from front to back. Some of the rust is really eating into the metal (not just surface rust). I know they have recalled many 1995-2000 vehicles, but i fear that they will begin to see frame rot on these 2005 + tacoma's as well (some…

I have a 2005 toyota tacoma double cab trd sport. The motor mounts on my vehicle have become "ripped" off the frame of the vehicle somehow as toyota has stated towards me and this to me seem like a safety issue. I have heard of one instance of a guy who was driving down the freeway when his entire frame collapsed due to his motor mounts caving in his frame! This seems like a serious safety issue and my truck has had…

Where do i even begin? Took the truck in because it was having all sorts of problems and toyota said it had a bent frame. From what? Normal driving after 3 years / 112,000mi? The truck has never been in an accident. First the bed side body panels started cracking then a panel inside the front tire well started to crack. Then when turning engine radiator fan hit shroud around it. Another unrelated to the frame…
