This Problem Across All Years
Took my truck to a body shop to have dings and a few rusted spots on it repaired. The business owner and repair person put it on the rack and after examination, informed me that it was not worth the repairs, because the frame and undercarriage was too extensive and might as such cause safety issues. I chose not to have it repaired because of this issue.

OWNED SINCE 2003, THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 140,000 MILES, BUT MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT TOYOTA HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL. REAR BUMPER HAS ALSO RUSTED THROUGH. I NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO PROCEED. VEHICLE IS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE.

THE BODY TO FRAME MOUNT HAS RUSTED AWAY BREAKING THREE PARTS OF THE FRAME. THE TOP OF THE FRAME IS THE ONLY PART HOLDING THE TRUCK TOGETHER, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH RESULTED IN NOT BEING ABLE TO PASS STATE INSPECTION.

I HAVE A 1998 TOYOTA T100 WITH 143K MILES ON IT. THE FRAME IS NOW BROKE UNDER THE BED NEAR THE FRONT LEAF SPRING SHACKLE, BESIDE A BED MOUNT. THE OTHER SIDE IS ALSO CRACKED BAD AND IS ABOUT TO BREAK. I ALSO NOTICED THE CROSS-MEMBER THAT THE CARRIER BEARING ATTACHES TOO IS ALSO CRACKED ON ONE SIDE AND ALL BUT CRACKED ON THE OTHER SIDE. I CALLED TOYOTA BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE DOING THE TACOMAS AROUND THE SAME YEAR AS WELL AS THE TUNDRAS. TOYOTA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. I KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL OTHER T100S AND AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY WONT DO ANYTHING WITH THE T100S.

THIS 1998 T100 WAS AN AWESOME TRUCK, BUT LIKE ALL TOYOTAS THE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH. THE STEEL THAT IS USED ON THESE IS COMPLETE JUNK.. THIS IS WHERE THE AMERICAN COMPANY'S HAVE IT. I LIKE THE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER, WAS THERE A CRASH? NOT YET, WAS THERE AN INJURY OR FATALITY? WILL THAT MAKE TOYOTA DO A RECALL? I THINK NOT!! THE FRAME ON ALL THESE T100 SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY TOYOTA.. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA JUST DOESN'T CARE ANYMORE. TOYOTA SHOULD GET A HUGE FINE FOR KNOWING THIS PROBLEM, AND DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT... LETS SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.. *TR
