Rohrich toyota replaced the severely rusted frame on my 2000 tundra in 2009, only after the federal safety agency directed them to. Rohrich toyota after telling me that per my VIN I wasn't one of affected owners!? Toyota replaced frame and brake lines as well as cross member in 2009. Toyota then reattached rusted fuel line to new frame and now rust from old frame has caused the fuel line to leak severely. I called rohrich and toyota america and was denied remedy of replacing fuel line! I am a survivor of open heart surgery and my wife is a disabled diabetic amputee and we need our vehicle for dr's appointments and shopping etc... Is there anything you can do to help and soon?

Received a recall notice from toyota 9sm and a0f and took the truck to conklin cars salina, local toyota dealership for the inspection. According to toyota these recalls involve rust and corrosion of the frame, cross members, and fuel tank straps. Conklin cars tech stated no damage, conklin invoice #008916 dated apr 09 2012. Jan 2015 I noticed a hole in the lh frame rail and that the rear fuel tank strap had rusted through and broke. I contacted conklin cars and the service manager looked at it again on jan 30th 2015 and said that he had contacted their toyota factory rep. About the issues. The service manager suggested that I should not drive this vehicle. The service manager called me the following week and told me that the factory rep. Said that the case was closed and toyota would not do anything about the repair. I was also told that this recall was only for trucks that resided in northern states and this truck was sold in missouri and kansas. Looking at the frame it is evident to me that the frame has heavy corrosion, flaking rust and thinning of the frame rails. I have since replaced both fuel tank straps. I contacted toyota customer service "[xxx]" told me that the case number was #1502062938 and that the repair was taken care of on apr 23rd 2012 and was closed. I had explained that allegedly there was no damage according to the dealership in apr 2012 and less than 3 years later the straps had rusted through and there were holes in the frame. At this rate of decay the frame will rust in half in less than 3 more years. E. I contacted toyota and complained on feb 20th 2015 and they opened a new case #[xxx] and she said a case manager would call. [xxx] m., case manager, toyota customer care called feb 26 and told me the vehicle was out of warranty and toyota would not do anything. Toyota needs to stand behind these issue because they are ongoing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On february 13, 2013 I took my truck into springfield toyota in springfield virginia for some repair work,brakes and to have the coil pack replaced. I also asked them to complete the state of virginia safety inspection, during the safety inspection the dealer mechanics found a hole in the frame underneath the passenger door and told me that my truck could not pass the safety inspection because of that,after paying the dealer over $2000 dollars for the repairs that they completed, I took my truck to the bodyshop that they recommended...this bodyshop told me that it would cost me at least $1500 dollars to have them cut the hole out and weld a piece of metal into the frame...after leaving the bodyshop I called toyota corporate headquarters and was informed that there had been a recall for rusty frames and the crossmember for the spare tire carrier and the fuel tank straps but that recall had expired on december 31 2012...later toyota corporate called me back and said that they would fix the spare tire carrier,crossmember and fuel tank straps on 29 march 2013 at bill page toyota in falls church virginia and to get back with them on the frame repairs. My truck has been serviced at springfield toyota on a regular basis and I was never informed of any recalls or tsb's on my truck. I bought this truck in illinios and it was mentioned in the recall for rusty frames, I feel that this condition creates a safety hazard not only for me but for all motorist on the road with me...toyota needs to issues a recall and deal with this problem in good faith. I never received a recall notice for a rusty frame...I wonder how many owner of these vehicles are out here driving an unsafe vehicle and do not know it.

2000 toyota tundra limited access cab 4wd trd. Fuel line link detected after short trip. Excessive fuel pouring from driver side rear door of extended cab. Leaked was slowed when gas cap was removed. Leaked continued at a much slower pace as due to lower pressure in pressurized fuel line. Leak was limited to the cab area only. Frame was recently replaced in recall campaign. Much of the underbody components - leaf spring, axle, springs, brake covers, etc. - are deteriorating due to rust. These components were not covered under the frame recall. Fuel line appeared to have rust but could not detect perforation and could not determine actual location of leak. Car brought to dealer for repair with an estimate of $850 to replace fuel lines.
