1994 TOYOTA PICKUP HAS HOLES IN FRAME FROM RUST. I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES AND FOUND THE FRAME ROT AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION. THE RECALL ONLY GOES BACK TO THE 1995 MODELS AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I FEEL THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY TOYOTA. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 TOYOTA SHORT WB DELUXE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED IN TWO. SHE WAS INFORMED BY HER PERSONAL MECHANIC WHEN SHE WENT TO HAVE ANOTHER REPAIR PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 225,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000. UPDATED 02/10/11 *BF THE RUSTED FRAIM IS CAUSING THE LEAF SPRING TO CUT INTO IT. UPDATED 11/30/2011 *LN
I TOOK MY 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP TO A SHOP TO HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED. THE SHOP CALLED ME AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT INSTALL THE CLUTCH BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGH SO BAD AROUND THE REAR SUSPENSION MOUNTS THAT IT WAS PRACTICALLY BROKEN IN HALF AND WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
FRAME IS ROTTED OUT. *TR
1. DROVE VEHICLE ADHERING TO, ACTUALLY EXCEEDING, VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS. 2. UPPER LEFT CONTROL ARM IS RUSTING THROUGH ON THE VERTICAL PLANES. 3. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY AGREED THE PARTS ARE RUSTING BUT IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SUPPORT THE DEALER. MY VEHICLE IS A 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP TRUCK WITH 225,000 MILES. THE POWER TRAIN AND BODY ARE IN ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION. *TR
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IN 1994 IT HAD A WINDSHIELD LEAK , DEALER SAID COMMON PROBLEM FIXED LEAK? 8 YEARS LATER HAD TO REPLACE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD AND DISCOVERED RUST AROUND WINDSHIELD FRAME CALLED TOYOTA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT DEFECT FROM THE FIRST LEAK WHICH HAD CAUSED THE RUST, TOYOTA DENIED PROBLEM. *TR
I CURRENTLY OWN A1994 TOYOTA 4X4 OWNED SINCE 1995 , HAVE NOTICED RIGHT SIDE FRAME ROT FROM CROSSMEMBER TO FRONT LEAF SPRING CONNECTION . I AM GETTING WORRIED ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. IT IS A SHAME THAT LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS LIKE ME ARE BEING TOLD SORRY WE CAN'T HELP YOU. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTA VEHICLES FOR OVER 21 YEARS. I CAN'T SEE MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO MODELS BY BEING ONE YEAR APART. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME WAY TO JUSTIFY MY SITUATION FOR A REPAIR OR FRAME REPLACEMENT, THIS TRUCK RUNS TO GOOD TO THROW AWAY. *TR
REAR BUMPER, FENDERS AND FRAME ARE RUSTED THROUGH. GREAT SAFETY ISSUE !! VEHICLE ONLY HAS 137,000 MILES ON IT. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AS THERE SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
