2003 Toyota Tundra. Consumer writes in regards to frame rust recall notice. The consumer stated last year, there was a recall on the frame. She took the truck to the dealer, and they replaced the entire frame. Shortly after, she heard a popping noise coming from the truck. At first, she didn't think much of it, but as time went on, it became worse. The consumer took it back to the dealer, where an inspection revealed the right rear leaf spring was broke. The consumer requested to see the leaf spring, which turned out to be rusted, which caused it to break. The consumer believed the leaf spring should have been included in the check, when the frame was replaced. The consumer also discovered the left rear leaf spring needed to be replaced, as well.

I brought my 2000 Toyota Tundra in to be serviced at my Toyota dealership. It was determined then to be unsafe to drive. The dealership determined that the frame is rusted out and the leaf spring has penetrated the truck bed. This truck has regularly been maintained at the dealership where it was purchased. Additional rust proofing was purchased at the time of purchase. Other than the rusting frame, the vehicle works very well. Now it cannot be driven and there is no suggestion that it can be fixed. I am aware that Toyota has had the same problem with the tacoma model and that Toyota has reimbursed tacoma owners one and one half times the blue book value. I am also aware that Toyota acknowledges the problem with the Tundra. Unfortunately, they are unresponsive to me. I am currently renting a vehicle in order to get to work as I await the next step in this process. The dealership has told me to leave the vehicle with them as it is unsafe and unfit to drive. There seems to be some inequity in this situation. I have been encouraged to report this to you.

On August 2007 I purchased a Toyota Tundra. It is suffering terrible bed bounce on the highway. So much bed bounce that I cannot have children in the vehicle because I fear for their lives. The body of the truck shakes like a tuning for jarring the entire cabin like an earthquake at approximately 70mph. It is unfortunate that Toyota has not addressed these issues and recalled the vehicle for a fix. I have stopped driving the Tundra and continued driving my other car.

We bought a new 2007 Toyota Tundra double cab in August. We discovered on certain freeways (concrete) the bed bounce is terrible. We have had several other trucks in the past and all of them have had a small amount of bed bounce, but this verhicle is unsafe. The entire truck bounces to the extent that my husband gets sick to his stomach after a 20 minute drive. I refuse to take myself or our grandchildren in this vehicle. One of these days there will be an accident due to the stability of this vehicle on the road. Toyota dealer in our area refuses to drive more than a 5-10 mile radius on a test drive so they can not duplicate the problem we have mentioned. This saftey factor needs to be addressed.
