What owners report
As a result of a class action lawsuit Toyota settled on frame replacement or spraying a rust inhibitor depending on the severity of frame rust. The sprayed on rust inhibitor, used in my case, was sprayed over mud and pack rust at the dealership - Williams Toyota, Big Flats NY. I took the truck to a local shop to have the brakes replaced and nys inspection completed. The repair shop called and said that the truck was not road worthy due to frame rust.
All Driveshaft Support Bearings failed and needed replaced.
Intermittent Transmission issue. Truck will not shift into 5th or 6th gear. Temporary fix is turning the car off and on again. Problem will eventually return. Is this a Software or Hardware issue? Is there a campaign or recall on this issue?
