My 2000 Toyota Tundra has extreme rust and corrosion on the rear frame of the truck, bumper and tailgate connections are corroded excessive rust. Trouble with the trailer wiring harness. Something has burned up a box on the wiring harness. Parking break cable can not be fixed. Therefore there isn't a working parking break.
Our 2000 Toyota Tundra has continuously let us down in several areas such as; brake vibration, and the emergency brake cam arms are rusted so when releasing the parking brake, the shoes stay engaged, dragging on the brake pads causing warped drums. We have had a cracked exhaust manifold since 35k miles, transmission failure at 63k miles, continuous oxygen sensors issues (including two that fell out), broken sway bar mount, rusted tailgate mounts, and now the extreme frame rust. The truck is being eaten away by rust, causing parts to break and even fall off. Now the extensive frame rust has caused parts to fall off, and break. The latest is the passenger side spring shackle mount that was cracked and flexing, and now has completely broken off allowing the spring to rest along the underside of the body. We are very disappointed because this truck has been completely unreliable; it will not pass inspection and is now completely unsafe to drive.
This vehicle was purchased at greensburg Toyota, greensburg, PA. This vehicle has had brake lines replaced, fuel lines replaced, the frame corroded and rusted out, fuel lines rusted out, the tie rods rusted out, the tailgate rusted out, the electrical outlets for the backup and tail lights were shorting out, the entire body on this vehicle is rusting. This vehicle is a complete menace to the Toyota company. This vehicle had the front axles rusted out and the wheel fell off while driving it.
