I had recall for my Tundra bed and there were going to resolve the rust issue at no charge. I took my truck to bobby rehal Toyota in mechancisburg PA. They broke a part that wasn't part of the recall. They told me and if I wanted my truck back I had to pay for it. I tried to resolve with bobby rehal and Toyota main office and they told me to pay if I wanted my truck and the part they broke was not part of the recall. I explained I didn't need or want this recall but was told it was a no cost recall by letter. I paid it but now I just received another recall for airbag but how can I take my truck to Toyota not knowing the outcome of the recall so I may choose to do nothing because I cannot be sure they won't make me pay again for something I didn't want/need in the first place. Thanks.

Yesterday, had $1300. 00 work done on my 2002 Toyota Tundra. Mechanic advised me that my springs need replacement as they are completely rusted. This evening, susan wornick of channel 5 investigative team, did a report on Toyota Tundras rusting out. Specifically springs and frame. Ms. Wornick informed any owners of Tundras (2000-2001 and possibly 2002) to file complaint with NHTSA. Hence this email.

3 interior door handles broke off completely starting in 2004 front passenger door, then in 2005 right rear passenger, 2006 the driver handle broke. Toyota did not want to repair said it was not a manufactures defect. Everything is plastic and cheaply made, I had to pay for repair, feared that in an event of an accident I would be be able to exit my vehicle unless I rolled window down and opened door from outside handle.
