went to my friends work(local toyota) and got to see the frame rust on a tundra...have to send the frame back to the factory to be re melted

yota frame rot
 
Reminds me of how my dad got his Level II. He snapped his '97 Tacoma in half BEFORE the recall.
 
i think one of the newer ones...it still had fresh black paint on it
 
Doesnt matter what year tundra it is, the oldest model isn't old. I would be pissed. Everyone buys toyota for their reliability and they had to recall entire frames, thats a pretty big issue.
 
Last I read it was for 2000-2003 models. Started off only being for certain states, but now expanded to whole country.

There is a newer recall for the 2007-2010 model years though in regards to a sticking accelerator pedal.
 
But...but.....that truck is still worth more than an F150 of the same vintage!

And it isn't even worth making a pickup box trailer out of...
 
toyota... waaaayyyy overpriced for what you get. seen the ads about how many miles people have on their yota's. if they are so great, why only a 36k/3yr warranty???? usually you get what you pay for... except for toyota and sony, imho.
 
You say they replace the frames in the USA??? Here in Canada, Manitoba to be more exact, they just give you premium trade value towards a new one. The old one gets shredded... never to see the road again.

I think the older ones get junked, and the newer ones get reframed.
 
Hyundai has a similar recall going right now for the subframes in the elantra and the sonata. We had a 2006 Sonata in the shop you could poke a screwdriver right through the middle of the front subframe.

Thats what you get when you combine decent engineering with cheap jap metal.

A friend of mine bought a 98 or 99 Tacoma for 500 bucks, (had a bad clutch). It was in good shape with stupid high miles. He ended up bringing it in to Toyota and they paid him $9100 for it.
 
that toyata got pwned. chassis is the last place to use crappy steel.
