My understanding is that my vehicle went in for the frame issue. However on both the driver and passenger sides the frame is literally disintegrating. The metal is falling apart in solid chunks, not flakes actual chunks ⅜" x 2" x 3"! This is taking place in the exact same locations on each side. Just aft of the front suspension cross frame and in front of the transmission/transfer case cross support.

Rusting frame on the vehicle leading to potential cracks and creating safety concerns. Truck has low miles and been well maintained.This is my second Toyota truck with a rusted frame. No help or support from Toyota on my concerns with the 2010 Tundra.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while the vehicle was in for inspection, the mechanic discovered corrosion present on the subframe of the vehicle. The contact stated that along with corrosion, the subframe was cracked and had several holes. The cause of the damage was not yet determined.

The contact was informed that the vehicle was not eligible for the manufacturer's Extended Warranty coverage for the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000.
My 2010 Toyota Tundra is like new and only has 56,000 miles on it. I ordered new tires and when I brought it to have the tires installed I was told me the frame was rusted through and they couldn’t lift it off the ground. They were concerned with me driving it and suggested that I bring it to my Toyota dealership and see what they could do. The dealership said there was nothing they could do because there was no recall on my vehicle. I asked if they could look at it to see it was safe to drive, and was told there would be a $167 to just look a my vehicle. I called Toyota Customer Service (800‑331‑4331) to complain and opened case# 23122000824. I called a frame shop to make an appointment to have it looked at and was told that they get lots of Tundra’s in with rotted frames. Apparently Toyota is ignoring this problem. They had an issue with rusted frames on the Toyota Tacoma and they issued a recall.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact stated that when she arrived at her destination her husband noticed something hanging from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed with a rusted rear fuel tank strap. The contact was informed that the fuel tank strap needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 187,000.
Rusted frame failed PA state inspection. This has been a well maintained vehicle and should not be experiencing that much corrosion.
Premature corrosion of frame. I had the truck into the shop for an unrelated issue when the service tech discovered holes in the vehicle frame. The technician was uncomfortable working on the vehicle on the lift because it is a safety hazard. Toyota claims my vehicle was not included in any of the previous frame recalls or service programs, and while bad steel is a known issue with Toyota, they are unwilling to replace the frame on my truck because all previous recalls were VIN specific. My vehicle has no surface rust, but has enough frame corrosion to deter trained service technicians from working on it. If the frame is unsafe to be working on, it is unsafe to put my family in, and Toyota is permitting the sale and use of unsafe vehicles.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an inspection, the mechanic informed her that the subframe was severely corroded and unable to haul the weight of a camper.

The failure mileage was approximately 74,300.
The chassis on my 2010 Tundra is badly rusted. The rust is also evident in the bed of the truck. I was informed of the rust during my quarterly servicing of the vehicle. I was recently informed the rust has gotten really bad.
The frame of my truck has developed an unsafe amount of rust.
