general problems of the 2005 Toyota Tundra - part 2

I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra, which has the entire frame all rusted. I already replaced all brake lines and differential because of the rust. The mechanic said it is rusted so bad that it could fall apart. There was a limited campaign for a recall on our Tundra and the spray was done in 2015. Obviously it didn't take because of all the continuous issues we are having. I called the corporate office of Toyota and opened an claim and the manager I spoke to really could care less and told me that once the warranties are over its no longer their (Toyota) problem. I requested a field inspection technician to look at the truck . That request was denied by the manager who stated that he was speaking for Toyota. I asked for my claim to be reviewed by some one above him and he stated their was no one higher them himself and his decision was final. I don't understand why they can't look at their products and tells us if it is safe to drive. Obviously they new there was a problem or they wouldn't have the limited campaign for a recall. They need to do more.

The entire frame of the truck and every component directly in contact with it including the suspension is and has been oxidizing/rusting/rotting off in layers some fragments of rust scale falling off measure 1/8" in thickness I contacted Toyota of north America knowing about the recalls on the Toyota tacoma model trucks with alot of detailed photos they said basically too bad. Ive kept the undercarriage clean even tried using coatings to slow the deterioration down the truck has 122,000 miles on it and was very well taken care of the problem is Toyotas poor quality steel used and improper factory coatings I purchased the truck in 2014 and I glimpsed underneath the day I bought it and thought the frame looked good then a few months go by and I go to do a tune up and I start seeing huge rust scale falling all over upon further investigation noticed the problem and how bad it was as well as the reason I didnt notice it at the dealer was they spray painted the underside black to hide the problem, I am a marine corps veteran I served 2007-2011 active duty every penny I had saved up I used to buy this truck (my first big purchase all in cash) ive put thousands into this truck already replacing suspension components and mounts and its becoming a total loss I cant sell it to a private party knowing how dangerous it can be if the wrong part finally rots all the way thru and I cant afford a new vehicle I can barely find work with the economy and personal struggles I have related to my service, I am beyond upset and I pray someone somewhere can help me I know my truck is not the only Tundra with this major problem.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Tundra. While an independent mechanic was inspecting the vehicle, the mechanic observed that the rear differential was severely corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

We received several recall notices for frame deterioration and the need for inspection, correction and anti-corrosion chemical application. We took it to the Toyota dealer as requested. They called the next morning to have us pick up the vehicle and the anti-corrosion spray (black gooey stuff similar to undercoating) that they used was everywhere, including on the wiring harnesses, brake lines, the step bars that we installed aftermarket last year, inside of the wheel wells, the mud flaps - it was still wet and smelled awful. We contacted the service manager who blew us off, we called Toyota and they refused to assist, other than to take down the complaint on paper. I can't seem to find an attorney even remotely interested in assisting with this case. Toyota says that the coating may never dry so it will attract all dirt and grime that it's exposed to. It looks and smells horrible. We can't even sell it because it smells so bad! Toyota won't remove it or even repair it, nor will they replace the vehicle.
