2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4x4 showing early signs of excessive rust on the under side of the vehicle. The welds are showing excessive rust, as is the rear differential and axle. The truck only has 39,000 miles on it and I emailed photos to 3 friends who are mechanics and much more knowledgeable than I am.

My 2006 toyota tundra has frame rust issues. Truck is less than 3 years old. Took delivery of brand new truck on january 27, 2007. Now where my truck is parked in the drive way there are major rust stains on the driveway. Again, truck is driven in northern kentucky area, is less than 3 years old, has less than 40,000 miles and is showing signs of rust on frame that are so bad that it is staining the driveway. Notified toyota today, and will get the truck inspected by a toyota dealership in the area soon.
06 tundra seen very little mud, mud never sat on for over 24 hrs. Only 21k miles on it n rusting greatly...
2006 toyota tundra front end rusting out. 20,000. Miles on it. No salting on roads during winter in our area.
Rattling noise (like a loose washer around a bolt) under the firewall. Loudest at 1200-1800 rpms. Vehicle has been brought to the dealership 15 times before a mechanic actually heard it. Mechanic could not find the problem and it is still happening.
Paint on front bumper came off when washing at carwash. A friend has a toyota car that had the same thing happen. The dealer will not fix under warranty. This is clearly a defect. They offered to have the local guy fix while he is on the lot.
Plastic cover on radio shattered and I am told I try to pry it off anyone can look at it and see that no marks to indicate it being pried it has shattered at first I thought it was tighten to tight and vibration caused it after learning how it is installed it is a defect in the material used.
I noticed power outlets were loose info dealership, panel was loose as well, dealership replaced a pin and fix pwr outlets. This was in feb.. A month later power outlet panel loose again, dealership replaced pin, this has been happening so many times now, this time power outlet panel as fell to the floor board, I can't brake to well or accelerate with a panel by my feet. I have use the power outlet to run a dvd player and cell phone charger, panel has not drop after pulling the charger out, of power outlets.. Just when I'm driven down the road it falls, I have had another dealership look at thee problem and was info that thee panel was bad. I took it to another shop other than toyota also got panel is worn and vibrations is making thee panel to fall...so I only know I have a panel laying on my floor board its hard to brake or to accelerate.
This filing is in reference to my 2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4.7 ltr 10,000 miles. For the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle I started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking... I took no immediate action as I found it to be a very light sound. After a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable I was more alarmed, when I got home I got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection I found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand I was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. I quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally, the next morning I contacted my local toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3.40. After this u can say that all is now well, I believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident.
