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.

Took my 2010 Tundra in for service at a local repair shop and was told that my frame has severe rust on the frame and is in poor condition. I am worried about the safety of this vehicle for me and my family. I am the only owner of the truck and purchased it brand new. What can be done? Thank you

Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the rear leaf springs had separated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear leaf springs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
Upon inspection of the underside I my tundra I noticed the rear bumper nearly rusted away. Further inspection showed major rusting of the tow tongue tunnel, rear shock supports and spots on the frame.
I was driving and both of my leaf springs snapped and everything came loose
Both rear leaf springs broke unloaded normal driving
Passenger rear leaf spring broke for no reason, not towing loose piece then flips around hitting surrounding structures and wheels potentially causing an accident
The truck shakes really bad causing me to not be able to drive past 50 MPH. Have had tires replaced, alignment done, and new brakes. Have also had tires balanced. Still shakes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise heard in the rear of the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the rear leaf spring was fractured and contained rust. The vehicle was not included in the manufacturer recall campaigns: (interim e12) and e02 concerning the rear leaf spring, although the failure was similar. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
I noticed a rattling coming from the rear end of the vehicle while driving. I stopped to investigate and found a broken leaf spring rubbing against the rear passenger side tire. There was damage to the inside of the tire. Had I been on the highway it may have cause the tire to pop. There are multiple posts detailing the same break of the leaf spring and the resulting tire damage on the internet.
