Water leak into the rear of the cab. toyota knows is a known issue but they decline warranty on it. they only have a t-sb-0055-18 but if the customer doesnt research for it online they will not even tell the customer. the water leak cause mold in the car and everything is wet on it. our car has now 38000 miles. this is an expensive car and the mold will cause people to get sick. toyota wants a customer to pay more than $10,000 to fix an issue that is cause by them. please help about this.
I have two concerns: first is the clear-coat and paint on the vehicle rubbing off causing the roof and other body panels to rust, which in turn causes the structural integrity of the vehicle to be compromised in the event of an accident/rollover. second is that the front headlamps fill up with water/moisture during cold weather/rain/ and car washes. this could lead to the headlamps shorting out causing an accident and possible injuries/deaths. toyota so far has offered no solution to either concern and my extended warranty company claims they won't cover sealed beam headlamps. if they are as they claim sealed beam headlamps how is the water intrusion happening? both of these concerns are safety related and should be addressed as such. i am the second owner of this vehicle and it only has less than 62,000 miles.

I have a 2002 tacoma that was part of the frame perforation recall. however, i did not get a frame replacement. the "fix" was to apply a gel over the rust on the frame, which, subsequently, all fell off the frame onto my driveway. recently, i took my truck into the dealership for a 4wd repair and was told that my "frame was shot" and the truck was "unsafe to drive", due to that. and if they lifted my truck to do the repair, it might "crush my frame". i expressed my displeasure for the recall fix and had them do an estimate on the 4wd repair. they came back with an outrageous number, as if they did not want to do the work. i have since contacted independent repair shops and no one will touch it. *so, i have a truck no one will repair, i can't sell it, i can't trade it in...and i can't drive it. it has no worth.one of my leaf springs has rusted and broken, too. the truck has 215k and is in good condition other than rust. the engine will go 500k. i see recalls on the frame and leaf spring ...
Through no fault of our own, the frame on our toyota truck has been discovered by our mechanic as rusted or corroded to an extend of unsafe driving conditions. toyota in response to my complaint replaced the spare tire carrier as a safety recall that never expires, however, they are telling me the frame is no longer under a warranty and is not a safety recall issue. the suggested i lodge a complaint with the nhtsa as they are unable and unwilling to do something for us. i uploaded 5 pictures, not sure if they are all there
Frame of this vehicle has rusted beyond being safe to drive. vehicle will not pass virginia state inspection. rust is due to factory manufacturing defect that toyota has acknowledged. i am the third owner of this vehicle and had no way of knowing of any toyota remedies to this situation. i have contacted toyota corporate and they refuse to offer any help. this is an inherit factory defect and age and time should make no difference. there are many of these vehicles still operating on the highways with this defect creating a very dangerous situation.
