Vehicle began to accelerate down a steep hill and no matter what I tried to do to stop the vehicle nothing happened. It just kept accelerating. Lost control of vehicle, and was unable to negotiate the right hand turn. Vehicle slammed into a dirt embankment, then rolled over and reversed it's position. Consequently, I was trapped in a running vehicle with gasoline leaking and unable to shut off the engine. Had to wait 30n minutes for ems/fire rescue to arrive. Extrication took another 25-30 minutes. Transported to trauma center, york, pa.

Frame rusting and rear differential rusting out. Frame is corroding from rust. Rear differential has several pin holes causing fluid to leak. These are both known problems with the gen 1 tundra's. Contacted toyota customer care and basically told me there isn't anything they can do since the frame recall campaign ended in 2015. I never received notification of the frame recall. I was told that there wasn't any recall fro the differential but that is a very common problem for tundra's used in ne USA whereby road salt is used in winter. The salt causes frame and differential rust because material used by toyota is of poor corrosion resistance quality. The consumer iis on their own. Toyota won't do anything even though it's their failure to build the vehicle fit for it's intended use.
