I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECHNICIAN CHANGING MY OIL THAT I HAD SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT RUST ON THE FRAME OF MY 2000 TUNDRA. I HAVE BEEN FINDING RUST FLAKES ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND AFTER READING ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING FRAME FAILURES I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL. THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF I HAD HOLES IN THE FRAME? TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE WAS MOST CORDIAL BUT EXPLAINED THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT YET TAKEN ACTION TO ADDRESS HOW THEY MIGHT ASSIST TUNDRA OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN INSPECTION FOR MY TUNDRA'S FRAME WITH A TOYOTA DEALER FOR NEXT WEEK. THERE IS RUST ON ENTIRE FRAME AND IT IS VERY RUSTED ON THE SPRINGS AND HOLDERS. EVERY WELDED JOINT HAS FLAKING AND SHOWING SEPARATING LAYERS. I DON'T BELIEVE I WILL BE TOWING OR CARRYING HEAVY WEIGHT TILL I'M ASSURED THE RUST ED PARTS HAVE PROPER INTEGRITY TO SUPPORT WEIGHT AND SPEEDS. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO WITH A 2000-2001 TUNDRA WITH RUST TO CALL TOYOTA!!!!!! AND FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. TOYOTA WANTS TO KNOW, AND WE NEED SOME ANSWERS AND ASSISTANCE IN MAKING SURE FRAMES ARE SAFE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON 2007-CURRENT TOYOTA TUNDRA'S ARE VERY BLINDING. EVERY TIME I APPROACH ON OF THOSE TUNDRA'S IT LOOKS AS IF THEIR HIGH BEAMS ARE ON AND I AM ALWAYS CONSTANTLY FLASHING THEM THINKING THEY LEFT THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON, BUT I BECOME SHOCKED WHEN THEY FLASH ME BACK ( WITH THEIR ACTUAL HIGH BEAMS). I DRIVE IN A SUV, SO IF THEY ARE BLINDING ME, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN A CAR! ITS VERY HARD TO TRY STAYING ON ROAD WHEN THEY GO PAST ITS SO BRIGHT, A COUPLE TIMES I ACTUALLY WENT OFF THE ROAD A LITTLE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE FOR NIGHT DRIVERS, EVERY SINGLE TUNDRA IS LIKE THIS. NOW I KNOW TRUCK HEADLIGHTS MAY APPEAR TO BE A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER BECAUSE THEY SIT HIGHER, BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE ANY OTHER TRUCK EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE BRIGHTNESS ON THE TUNDRA'S. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THIS MATTER WAS CHECKED INTO, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GONE OFF THE ROAD WHEN THESE UGLY TRUCKS ROLL BY. *TR
