What owners report
This Toyota has several large rust holes directly on the frame. i hit a pot hole and more structure damage was revealed on the frame from rust. The truck drives rough now. The vehicle only has 150,000 miles. The rust holes are so severe that they're directly under my suspension. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle. Their was once a recall for the frame. It doesn't seem that it was satisfied. I'm very worried about this issue. Toyota should have to replace frame or make it safe to drive.
Back in 2018 toyota did the undercoat to my 2006 Toyota sequoia frame to prevent rust. Now my frame is completely rotted out to the point i canât drive my vehicle.
Frame of this vehicle has lot of rust damage, is it still under manufacture recall? How can I ensure safety of my vehicle along with rusty frame? Iâll be glad to receive more information how to contact manufacturer in order to get this resolved. I drove this vehicle on Nov 19, 2023 last time just hear some knocking sounds while driving
Frame rusted so badly the the brackets attached to it are coming off
