Three problems related to frame rust have been reported for the 2001 Toyota Prerunner. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Took my tacoma in today for spare tire recall. Work was denied due to frame rust. I did not received any notices beforehand until this one. I feel my vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have owned my tacoma since 2003.
Frame is rusted and unsafe to drive. Toyota issued a special policy for 15 year frame warranty and even bought back trucks for this issue but the warranty did not get extended because the truck was not undercoated in 2011 to extend this 15 year warranty. Toyota owners beware customer service is horrible they would not give me anything in writing to support this. They do not want me to use against them. Unsafe and they are not wanting to help.
Frame is heavily corroded , some rust perforation exists. Toyota has extended frame rust coverage for '95 to '00. I drive an '01.
