The vehicle was at the independent mechanic. For a repair and discovered that the bottom frame was rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was also notified of the failure; however the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 330,000.

NHTSA ID 11740080 · filed May 26, 2026

My frame is rotting, with literal holes in it. I spoke with a dealership and they stated the recall had been fixed in 2015, prior to me owning it. I was told to contact the manufacturer and they said it would be an out of pocket expense. When I research the recall, the affected area of the frame is the same, with no apparent fixes.

Tried to make an appointment with Ray Brandt Toyota in Kenner Louisiana. Made the appointment online, but could not get someone to call me back telling me if the airbag part was in I tried calling countless times I tried going through their website. Chat nothing. I’m going to have to drive over an hour away to another Toyota dealership, due to this once lack of concern towards their customers. I don’t even feel safe driving my vehicle due to metal being in the airbags.

NHTSA ID 11572956 · filed Feb 20, 2024

I have been trying to get my airbag changed from recall. Toyota will not do the repair. They refuse to pick up my truck. My Reference number at Toyota is 220901001583. This is the number Toyota corp. gave to me. Twice corp. set up the repair both times dealers refused to come get it. Now corp. says I have to bring it in to get the repair. For two years they have been sending me recall notices saying they will come and get the vehicle. now they refuse to do that. I will not take it to Toyota. they have wasted enough of my time already. Thanks Russ

Good afternoon, my name is Anthony Eakins, and I live in south west Florida. I have a 2006 Toyota tundra and I absolutely love my truck I believe this is one of the best trucks on the road even though it was built in 2006 (275,000 miles) The issue I'm having is my frame is to the point where I will have to get rid of my truck. The other issue is the frame is so bad I can't even sell my truck. I know there was a recall several years back and I'm curious why my truck is not part of this recall. My truck is rusting right above the rear leaf spring shackles and right at the bend by the motor. I have taken extremely good care of this truck it stays in my garage and the frame has been sprayed with under coating professionally every two years. I even have a detailed list of everything that's been done with this truck since 40,000 miles. Since my truck has been taken care of very well, I have not had any issues until now. I know Toyota is a very reliable vehicle and was curious if there's anything you can do to help me with the situation. Please respond to this email, confirming or denying assistance on my frame repair. Thank you.

MY SON DRIVES THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2006 BY MY FATHER IN LAW. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE WHEEL SHOOK, MY SON HEARD A POP, AND THE LEFT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE BARRING THUS SKIDDING ON THE GROUND. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER TO BE EVALUATED.

NHTSA ID 11415417 · filed May 6, 2021

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER MAN. THE TRUCK WOULD STEER OFF WHEN IT WOULD HIT A SMALL BUMP OR HOLE IN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ALIGNMENT AND FOUND OUT THE WHOLE FRONT END SUSPENSION AND EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO IT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOTION AND HAVE HAD TO CHANGE AND ROTATE THE TIRES MORE THAN ONCE WITHIN THIS YEAR. THERE IS WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES ON THE OUTSIDE. I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THEM AGAIN WHEN WE FIX THE ALIGNMENT. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON ANY STREET AND IS PRETTY SCARY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TIRES SOUND LIKE I'M PEELING OUT OR THE TIRE IS FLAT AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN'T MAKE SHARP TURNS BECAUSE THE TIRES START SKIPPING. I HAVE NOT MADE ANY REPAIRS TO IT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE BILL AT THIS TIME. ONLY THING I'VE FIXED IS THE TIRES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOW THAT THE TIRES ARE LOW ON AIR. THE COST QUOTED TO ME WOULD BE CLOSE TO $2000. I ALSO HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT THE YEAR I HAVE WITH THE TUNDRA HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE. IT'S A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND IS MY FIRST TRUCK PURCHASE FOR MYSELF.. MY FIRST VEHICLE WAS A 1983 TOYOTA CAMRY AND I LOVED IT!! I'VE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF ISSUE WITH A TOYOTA IN THE PAST AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO THINK ANYTHING BUT POSITIVE THINGS! TOYOTA'S ARE DEFINITELY BUILT TO LAST AND WOULD LOVE TO PASS IT DOWN TO MY SON BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO POSTPONE CONSIDERING IT'S NOT SAFE FOR HIM TO BE DRIVING. THIS IS HIS LAST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IT BACK TO HIM BEFORE THE YEAR IS UP.

The yoke assembly on rear driveshaft broke and the rear part of shaft fell to the ground while making a turn on paved road. I was about to back down an inclined boat ramp to put boat in river. The boat was an aluminum john boat, motor and trailer not weighing over 800 pounds. Vehicle and boat could have gone in river or the truck could have hit someone. The vehicle was towed and is being repaired by local repair shop. There were no warning lights or any unusual noise prior to the incident. The truck has 135,000 miles on the odometer. The shop were the repairs are being done said this was a common problem he has seen on many Toyota Tundras and not any particular year.

My ruck was recalledseveral years agofor the frame. To correct this issuea toyota dealer spray the frame.this did not stop the frame from rusting.a lot of other people I talked to said their frames replaced with no questions asked. But not mine.when I talked toyota for the new england territory, I was just given a run around. And nothing was done. There have been other recalls such as the air bag recall Iam not sure that was done correctly. Recently I took my toyota to toyota of Keene NH. I was told that they found other issues like the yransfer case was cracked in half. And there was a priblem with the head lights. Yes I can see there was a problem with the lights, someone at toyota service did not plug them backin after they checked them. I had to move the battery to get at the head light think it was a bad bulb, not. And I lost the screw to the battery compartment some where intheengine area. I take great steps to keep my truck safe to drive and clean to look at.

MY QUESTION IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THE VECHICLE THAT MAY SHOW IN THE TESTING THAT IT IS WORKING BUT COULD BE FAULTY. I DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO GO THROUGH 3 BATTERIES IN 18 MONTHS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE AN RECALLS ON THE INTERSTATE BATTERIES BUT DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING FROM 2006 TO PRESENT

The driver was able to pull over to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle. The driver became aware that the tread on the driver's side tire had separated, causing a portion of the tire near the seam to detach around the entire tire. The tire was a replacement tire. The driver replaced the tire with the spare. The contact sent an email to American Tire Depot where the tire was purchased. The manufacturer was informed of the failure.
