45 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2016

I took my truck to malloy Toyota for frame inspection regarding the limited service campaign eod- frame rust recall. Dealer informed me there was rust, but no perforations. They recommended coating the frame with compounds. I feel that my truck may not have perforations, but it is just a matter of time before the frame becomes perforated, resulting in a dangerous / unsafe vehicle. Putting the compunds on the frame is a quick band-aid and does not fix the problem. This frame will become unsafe, it is just a matter of time. This will not only potentially jeopardize the safety of my family / occupants in the vehicle, but also the others that share the road with my truck.

I do not think you are taking the rotted frame issue on the Tacoma seriously I have read the countless complaints all stating the same problems and the same lack of respect from Toyota about dealing with this problem that they have created. I"m starting to think this NHTSA is a puppet agency for the manufacturers. Someone is going to get killed if the problems with the frams are not fixed. What will the NHTSA say then. Sorry we should have acted sooner! alot of comfort that will be.

Nh state inspection failed my 2006 Tacoma due to holes in the frame I contacted Toyota about this problem and they told me its my problem not theirs since the sprayed the frame previously. Well the spray did not work and the frame still rotted so why are they not being force to fix the faulty frame that they knew was a problem since they have had this come up in the past.

56 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2015

Toyota issued a voluntary recall on frame rust issues, and applied my vehicle with a corrosion protective compound in oct 2014 (dealer in buffalo NY). In June 2015, I noticed increasing rust areas on my suspension mounting points, frame members and other areas. Went back to the different Toyota dealer (in kentucky) and was told that the frame was not cleaned correctly when undercoated. Toyota customer experience center said their obligation was only to coat the frame and not necessarily do it correctly. The coating is a one time service and is to prevent rusting. They mentioned that they will not provide me with supporting data on their claim that the coating prevents rusting. They have taken a perfectly fine frame and made it rust now, and unsafe to use.

58 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

I took my Toyota Tacoma 4x4 to rice Toyota dealership and was told that they needed to check vehicle frame and leaf springs because of a recall on my vehicle. I was then contacted and told my vehicle had severe amount non standard rust but passed the Toyota assessment for replacement. Upon arrival to my house, I inspected the vehicle myself and found it to have an extreme amount of corrosion on the frame. I then followed up with rice and had them do a follow up inspection on the frame at their collision center. I was then told that they had taken pictures of the frame and that their were high quantities of rust and corrosion that were way above the normal expectation of wear for the vehicles mileage and age. They told me that the frames of these vehicles would most likely rust through in a few years and be a hazard. I then contacted the warranty personnel at Toyota. I spoke with two individuals and was told that I had no recourse for any repair and that I was just out of luck even though the vehicle is part of a recall for leaf springs and corrosion of the frame. Not sure how to follow up but I do know that this model and year is subject to extreme frame rust leading to leaf spring collapse which poses a risk to the driver. Seems that a frame that is clearly admittedely documented as sub par should be remedied prior to potential incident.

70 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2014

Frame is rusting out excessively. This is a known problem on this vehicles,but Toyota says since I don't live in what they consider a cold state, I guess theyve never spent a winter in nebraska they won,t cover it. I feel this could potentially cause an accident if my frame sags or gives out. I feel they should exspand this recall to include more states.
