Hello,
I noticed some rusting, wholes, and parts coming off my frame. I took it to Toyota and they say that there wasn’t a recall on the frame just a support which included the coating that’s it. And that ended in June 2019. If I want my frame inspected they are going to charge me for it. I remember Scotty saying it was a recall and if needed frames were to be replaced by Toyota?
2007 Tacoma 4dr
I have called Toyota corporate and they said they cannot do anything about. That I would have to talk to my independent dealership who I bought it from and go from there. This is ridiculous, i would like Scotty to put them on blast for this.
Sure I mean if you ever come to Clarksville Tennessee I make a video about it but unfortunately they seem to be turned into the scumbags they don't care anymore you would have to go all the way to Toyota in Japan the Americans don't care at all and they on all the dealerships here
The frame would require total replacement not worth the money and Toyota was supposed to fix a bunch of them but they don't seem to anymore. I ditch and get a newer one they're still well made my son's got a three year old one he loves
Look up Toyota Frame Recall on the internet for the correct TSB that might apply to you.
There was a full frame recall due to a class action law suit. Not just the frame, new leaf springs, break lines, fronts steering arms, gas lines, bushings and more The dealer is lying to you.
I have a 2005 and all those items were replace at no charge and they gave me a rental car for 6 weeks, no charge
Now it may have expired, I'm not sure. It's a huge safety issue so I dont know how there could possibly be an expiration date on safety???
According to this article you have 15 years from the date of manufacture so you should be covered
Dont take it to that dealer, they are lying scumbags
Hi Scotty,
I have been going back and forth with Toyota Corp about my Tacoma frame rust, crack and whole that I saw on it. They are saying they cannot do anything about bc it supposedly expired already. They said I can talk to my dealership to see what they can do about it. Dealership told me few days ago they would charge to look at it. Toyota Corp and dealership said it would be an out of pocket expense. Isn’t this issue covered for the pickups? I know you have no problem exposing these idiots. Please advise.
If it's not rusting frames, it's peeling paint, and it's called "kaizen".
I mentioned in one of my post that my 2007 tacoma was starting to rot has some wholes and cracks within frame. I’m thinking about selling it and getting a new one. I heard the new ones have some issues with transmission? What do you think. Or should I try to weld/fix my frame?
Please keep all your discussion on this topic in one place. Thanks.
boy, i'd hate to be the guy who bought it from you. unsafe frame and all
