Extensive rust and rot of entire frame, and undercarriage. The truck bed unsafe to walk on has several soft spots almost broken through, gas tank holder rusted out- worry about gas tank dropping from frame, tow hitch and rear bumper rot etc. Side step fell off. Toyota has a Service Campaign and Warranty Enhancement Program for Tundra but not this year- built 9/2010 San Antonio but listed as 2011 model on VIN. I am original registered owner and have never been contacted about this factory failure use of inferior untreated frame materials but learned about it from internet research. Would like my vehicle covered under current Service Campaign.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that upon loading the bed of the truck, a worker stepped on the bed and his foot went through the bed. There was no injury sustained. The contact then noticed that there were four 3-inch holes located near the bed bolts of the vehicle due to corrosion. Additionally, the contact stated that the frame was corroded. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: [XXX]. The contact stated that he was an independent mechanic and had determined that the failure occurred because there was no underbody coating on the vehicle, which caused water to be trapped on the underbody. The local dealer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. Another dealer, Oakbrook Toyota (550 E Ogden Ave, Westmont, IL 60559), was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On 11/25/22 I meet with American Auto Mall to buy a used truck I was assured through text, website and window sticker that the truck was in excellent condition inside and out.. I have all this documents proofing this.. I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive.. found nothing that stuck out.. other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed..so after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed.. I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage.. and improperly installed brakes., coolant leaks and exhaust leaks.. after finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying.. I was also told this truck wouldn't pass a legal VA inspection.. so the current one was fraudulent I have all documents that support my case. I will like to turn this vehicle back in and given a full refund

The bed of my 2011 tundra is rusting through from the bottom up. The truck has had a topper over the bed since shortly after purchasing brand new and has never spent a night outside of the garage. The rust issue could be a safety hazard as the frame or other components could be compromised in a crash if they are not structurally sound.

Paint bubbling or rusting in the floor of the bed of the truck. Numerous spots. Couple months out of warranty and they won't cover it.
