Frame Rust problems of the 2007 Toyota Tundra

I have very bad rust in the bed of my 07 DC. I bought the truck new. The rust was obscured by the Toyota bed liner until I saw other owners posting and checked it out. I keep my truck in immaculate condition and it only has 57,000 miles. The rust is coming from underneath and is focused around the bolts that hold the bed to the frame. I am afraid that the bed will fall off of the truck! I am trying to bring awareness to this defect before it causes an accident. A call to the dealer and every post that I see says that Toyota will not help. This is not an isolated issue and Toyota should take responsibility for the poor workmanship and replace the defective parts before there are accidents. My frame is also rusted. Toyota dealer sprayed a solution on the frame but it is still rusting and is affecting this bed rust as well.

The frame and truck bed have severe rust issues. The truck bed is shacking now when driving. The frame was "sprayed" when I bought the car to the dealer. I brought the car to Toyota dealership on winchester road they have noticed a lot of rust on the frame and on the truck bed and advice me to rid of the car because they cannot do nothing about it even trade for another car. I had the truck inspected by my mechanic before I bought and the car seems to be ok. Late on another mechanic pointed out severe. Toyota dealerships inspect the truck and said that it was unsafe to drive. I have to figure out how mysefl how to get a new frame and a new truck bed because I do not know what to do or who to contact. My mechanic advice me to contact NHTSA.

2007 Tundra in mint condition. . . . Frame undercoating recall was performed a year ago. . . Dropped the spare tire to change a flat tire and was deeply concerned with the flaking rust on the frame crossmember. Clearly, the coating was sprayed to cover without any prep work or rust removal first. I am seeking a second look. . . Local body shop professional said this was terrible work and the frame life is very limited.

Who can I get to help me because my truck frame is rusted/corroded from salt and it is not safe. It pulls hard to the right. I went to holloway tire CO. (706-647-7016 - john) in thomaston, GA. To get my front end aligned. They could not do it because the bolts they needed to loose on the lower control arm, in order to align it, were so rusted/corroded from salt that they could not get them loose. They even applied heat to the bolts to try and break them loose but that did not help. The rust/corrosion from salt had them frozen/locked. Toyota refuses to honor their frame recall on my 2007 Toyota Tundra. The court ordered Toyota to fix the problem in a class action settlement. See website below. . Read more...

In 2018 I brought my 2007 to my dealer (acton Toyota littleton mass. ) to have an extended warranty check on the frame. They found it to be rusted enough to keep it several days for rust treatment . A year or so later my mechanic told me that I had a severe underbody rust problem. At this time Toyota refused to take care of it because I was 2 weeks beyond the extended warranty. Toyota originally replaced a lot of the rusted frames and also treated others. I now have a vehicle that has less than 80,000 miles and may be unsafe to drive. I feel that the rust protection was a temporary solution to pacify customers like myself .

The frame is completely rusted holes in some spots. Exhaust is rusted. Exhaust hangers have rusted apart. Fuel tank hangers are rusted almost apart. All brake lines are rusted. Transmission is slipping due to mounting brackets being rusted. Driveshaft has fallen apart due to rust. Terrible condition.

I had my 2007 57,800 mile Tundra inspected at my Toyota dealer when I was informed that the frame/under vehicle is "very rusty". Upon inspection by myself the entire frame is rusting and flaking off. The service tech played stupid and referred me to corporate(800-331-4331). She also said it passed inspection and there are no holes in the frame. I guess that makes it all ok. Corporate informed me that my truck has no "warranty service enhancements" at this time. They are aware of the problem but can offer me no further assistance with this issue, at this time. I should not have severe rust issues with a garage kept 2007 Tundra(or any vehicle) at 57,800 miles that I purchased new. I suspect the vehicle will have safety issues within the next 2 years due to the severe rusting of the frame.

There seems to be an excessive amount of rust on the frame of my truck.

I own a 2007 Toyota Tundra double cab limited 4x4. I started noticing rust developing in my truck box in March 2011. I reported it to Toyota in canada as the vehicle had been imported from the USA into canada from the previous owner back in 2007. I was told that I would have to contact Toyota USA for corrosion warranty. When I contacted Toyota USA I was told that there was currently no recall for the issue I was experiencing and I would not be covered under corrosion warranty because my truck had been exported out of the USA. It was not until a few years later I was told by the local Toyota dealership that there was a recall for this exact issue as well as an issue of frame rusting. I contacted Toyota canada to see if my truck would be covered. I was told that once again this was an issue that would have to managed by Toyota USA. I contacted Toyota USA and was told that I was over the 5 year unlimited mileage as well my vehicle had been exported from the USA so either way it would have not been covered.

Since the day that I bought this vehicle I have complained about the rust. It was 2 yes old with 17,000 miles on it. The bed and frame are badly rusted. I received a letter from Toyota about frame and they applied some weird black stuff. Total nightmare. The bed ,even though I found a service bulletin they say too late to do anything. Even though I have been complaining at more then 5 dealership's since 2009 and called corporate numerous times. The bed is dangerous and has been. The support structure,. Around mounting bolts, eventually bed will separate from frame. Very critical safety issue. Known problem but won't honor . Next problem that they also have an updated warranty which I was never notified about. Secondary air injection system fails ,which is an emissions component. Critical to keep emissions low.

The recall on my 2007 Toyota Tundra for rusted frame was inspected by the dealer who said they would spray it with rust prohibitive. I was a mechanic for many years and if the frame is not stripped down and sandblasted to metal there is no guaranteed method to stop the rusting. Toyota should be made to replace all the frames otherwise in a few years there will be more broken frames on the roads. I don't know if your office was involved in the class action suite but I am reasonable sure lawyers and judges no nothing of mechanics or engineering. I plan of keeping my truck for many more years and if the frame fails then I will getting legal counsel for a recourse to some entity be it government or commercial. If you all take your jobs seriously than this needs to be resolved soonest before Toyotas are falling apart on the highways and killing people. They made the error and they should pay for it not us!!!!.
