1993 Toyota Pickup Brakes Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the brake system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Brakes reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I BOUGHT A 1993 4X4 TOYOTA PICKUP USED AND DISCOVERED IT IS RUSTED WORSE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE IVE EVER SEEN. THE FRAME IS RUSTED INTO IN MULTIPLE PLACES, THE BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED OFF AND I'VE LOST ALL BRAKES SO I CANT DRIVE IT AT ALL NOW. IT RUNS AND GOES GREAT OR WELL IT DID UNTILL FRAME BROKE AND BRAKES WENT OUT. APPARENTLY 1993 FRAMES ARE THE WORST FRAMES TO HAVE ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING IVE SEEN ONLINE. WHAT BOTHERS ME IS I HAVE A 1991 TWO WHEEL DRIVE TOYOTA TRUCK JUST LIKE IT AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY RUST AT ALL NOWHERE ON FRAME OR BODY. AND BOTH TRUCKS ARE FROM THE SAME AREA. THE 4X4 THATS LITERALLY A DEATH TRAP ONLY HAS 220000 MILES ON IT WHICH IS NOTHING REALLY. THE ONLY REASON I EVEN BOUGHT THE TRUCK IS BECAUSE TOYOTA TRUCKS ARE KNOWN TO GO 3,4,OR SOMETIMES 500000 MILES WITH HARDLEY ANY TROUBLE. I WOULD JUST LOVE TO B ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AGAIN, THATS ALL I WANT. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY B A RECALL FOR EXTREME FRAME AND BODY RUST. IT SHOULDN'T B THAT RUSTY, IT'S LITERALLY THE WORST IVE EVER SEEN
