general problems of the 1999 Toyota Tacoma

Hi, I had the recall preventive performed by Toyota for rusting and corrosion of the frame. Now, the vehicle is rusting throughout the frame and is very very unsafe to drive. Toyota is claiming that it was a program and not a recall and had no documentation to prove. Toyota performed the recall and now the frame is still at risk to crack and very unsafe.

The contact owns a 1999 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, an unknown popping sound was coming from the rear-end of the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact discovered severe corrosion and a crack that had formed on the rear passenger’s side fender. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 147,813.

Frame rusting from inside out. Vehicle has been in same family since purchased new in 2000 and no recall notice was ever received. Rest of vehicle is in great shape.

Bought 99 Toyota Tacoma truck. Verified with dealer who did the frame exam in 2014 for rust. At 207000 miles. It passed imspectiom in 2014??? now 4 yrs later and 18000 additional miles, it's rusted in half?.

In MA you need to have an annual vehicle inspection. I went for that inspection and was told that they could not pass the truck because of a severely rusted frame. I went to the dealer who sold me the vehicle and was told to either agree to pay for a frame replacement or junk the truck. I can't drive the vehicle without a valid inspection.

The contact owns a 1999 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the vehicle was inspected at a Toyota dealer for corrosion. The technician assured the contact that the vehicle was fine. Five years later, the contact brought the vehicle in for an oil change and it was diagnosed that the rear suspension detached from the frame due to severe corrosion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 172,000.

It was under warranty for rusting underneath. I'ts a1999 Tacoma the manufactor said the warranty expired in I think March for my truck. But my frame broke in August and they (Toyota) are not going to do nothing for me about it. I didnt recive any of the recall notices from them and I told them this . They told me they could only do what the dmv sends them well I have had the truck since 2006. So you would think somebody would have sent something!!! my man is sick and I have to bum a ride and that really sucks!I'm not used to mother may I. Any way it's all a blame game.

Tl-the contact own a 1999 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving 50 mph making a left turn, the rear passenger side spring broke causing the contact to lose control of the vehicle.

The contact observed that the leaf spring fell into the frame and punctured the fuel tank. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Truck has perforated rust through the frame. After researching online, this appears to be a known issue impacting older Toyota Tacomas. I have received no notice of any issue from Toyota despite having a good address on file, but after contacting Toyota, they have informed me of a 15 year extended program specifically for perforated frame rust issues on this truck. Per Toyota, this program lapsed two months prior to my call. Online research and local dealership confirms, Toyota was buying these trucks back and paying 150% of the kbb excellent value, in order to simpy crush the truck and move on. Per Toyota, since I have found the program on my own and am calling two months late, they are not willing to take any corrective action whatsoeve, either repair or repurchase. Per the dealer, they are getting multiple inquires into this due to people not being aware of the program. At this time, the frame is so damaged due to rust that it is unsafe to drive due to the potential of total collapse.

Frame rust by rear driver leaf spring connection and obvious rust all over frame.

The car in front of me stopped on the freeway and I was not able to stop in time. My front right hit his rear left, and my car spun 180 degrees into the lane next to the one I had been in and I was facing the oncoming traffic. My air bags did not deploy.

I purchased a 1999 Toyota Tacoma in 8/2000. The vehicle had a blown engine that had been replaced and had been involved in a minor accident. I bought it from a local auto-body shop for $10,500 where it had been repaired. I have made my living with this truck and have put over 200 k miles on it with no major repairs. It has been trouble-free and I had no thoughts of replacing it. In October 2008, I took the truck to a Toyota dealer to be inspected for rust, on the advice of an friend. No rust perforation was found. In August 2011 I received a letter from Toyota encouraging me to have the truck re-inspected for frame rust. I did this on 12/30/2011. This time they found rust on the driver's side, on the inside of the frame. The dealer told me that I could not drive the truck without signing a waiver and that the truck was eligible for Toyota's repurchase program. I was given a rental vehicle paid for by Toyota. On 1/5/2012 I was told the truck did not qualify for the repurchase program because it had a salvage title and to pick it up by the end of the day. I have lost a vehicle with no compensation and no recourse with Toyota. There is no relationship between the facts that resulted in my truck having a salvage title and the frame rust. Toyota isn't interested in entertaining the merit of my claim, period. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

Just normal driving nothing heavy in the back of the truck. Had to replace the leaf springs. Has happened 3 times.

While driving on the highway the truck started to sway from side to side. Vehicle had 800 pounds of empty cabinets not exceeding 57 inches, nor any weight factor overload on truck.

When driving from 35 to 65mph the steering wheel vibrates, making it hard to control the steering. Vehicle has been looked at 3 times, still no solution. Tires have been changed 5 times.
