I RECENTLY TOOK THIS TRUCK IN ON A TRADE AND KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TOYOTA'S FRAME RUST ISSUES. CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND EXPLAINED THE RUST PERFORATION ISSUE I NOTICED ON THIS TRUCK. HAS A MARBLE SIZED HOLE BY THE DRIVERS SIDE SPRING PERCH AND THE FRAME IS THIN ON BOTH SIDES IN THAT AREA. THE PASSENGER SIDE BEHIND THE WHEEL HAS A HOLE THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL ON THE SIDE, A HOLE THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL ON THE BOTTOM(SAME AREA), AND A HOLE AN INCH WIDE BY FOUR INCHES LONG ON THE TOP OF FRAME(SAME AREA). THE REST OF THE FRAME IS HEAVILY RUSTED AND THIN. THE RUST COMES OFF IN BIG FLAKES. I EXPLAINED ALL THIS TO TOYOTA AND RECEIVED A CASE # AND WAS TOLD SOME ONE WOULD CONTACT ME. WELL FINALLY GOT A CALL AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING YEAH THAT IS RIGHT NOTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THEIR GOOD WILL "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN A0F" HAD EXPIRED. SO NOW THAT THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT I HAVE A TRUCK THAT IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO BREAK APART HOPEFULLY SOME ONE DOESN'T GET KILLED WITH THIS DEATH TRAP. WAY TO MAKE A HAPPY CUSTOMER TOYOTA !!!! WONDER HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL GET DUPED BY TOYOTA. *TR

THE STARTING DATE AND MILEAGE ABOVE IS APPROXIMATE. A SENSATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED A KIND OF BUMP OR CLUNK. YOUR STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND THEN CLUNK. OR, JUST BEFORE TAKING OFF FROM BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION "CLUNK". THE FREQUENCY OF THIS SYMPTOM STARTED OFF AS JUST ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN FIRST NOTICED AT AROUND 36K MILES. NOW WITH 58,000 IT HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, SAY, EVERY 50 MILES OR SO. I KEEP A MILEAGE LOG FOR MY BUSINESS AND BEGAN DOCUMENTING WHEN THIS OCCURS. I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER TWICE BUT HAVE FAILED TO REPLICATE IT FOR THEM TO EXPERIENCE. *TR
