Tacoma, Sequoia, Tundra Owners Take Note: Some Toyotas Lose Extended Frame Replacement Coverage Monday, May 21, 2018

I also have a 2005 sequoia. My frame has extensive rot including a large hole in the driver side frame. I brought it in to the Toyota dealership and it instantly failed the rust inspection warranting a frame replacement. The next day they cancelled the replacement and stated that the warranty for the complete frame replacement expired but they could still spray the frame with anti-corrosion material. They decided against spraying it because the rot is already to extensive. I feel cheated considering I bought the car w/in the past year and never received notification about the expiration date. The engine still runs great too.

James, I'm in the same boat and I think we're up the creek. I called Toyota several times. Their "no girl" with a kind voice called me back stating we're so sorry but there is nothing we can do. I corrected them saying there is something they can do, they just don't want to. If anyone finds out how to win this one, please share.

Purchased my tundra from a private party 2 yrs ago who had the frame treated with their rust inhibitor spray in the spring of 2014. At that time he complained the service was unsatisfactory and requested a replacement but was denied. Fast forward to today I'm stuck with a hole the size of my fist near the transmission cross member and nothing Toyota can do about it. I've been in the automotive industry since 1985 and know that spraying anything rusted only traps the rust inside and continues to deteriorate. Maybe this is why Toyota only has a one year warranty on the treatment.

Hi. My frame was "supposedly" treated in 2014 when first recalled and since then we've only put 19,000 miles on the truck. You'd think the frame would be fine but was told in August the frame is rusted through and Toyota basically said so sad, too bad (my words, not there's). If there is a new class action suit for 2006 Tacoma's let me know. I won't miss out again. Thanks.

I want in on this class action lawsuit! I took my to my local dealer during this recall timeframe and somehow it did not qualify! The rust is very extensive to the point that a few months down the road i had my muffler fixed and the mechanic said man you really should’ve taken advantage of that frame warranty. You needed it! Pissed me off because i did! And was told it didn’t qualify.

Hello Greg.

I have the same issue as the rest of the ppl on the string. I have a 2005 Tacoma and it will not pass inspection due to the frame. You mention a new class action suit but the one I saw only covers 2011-2017 models. Do you know of another? Please anything you can do to help me. my number is 202 334 6430

Is this suit still open? I just inherited my father’ 75k mile tundra. Looks new until you look under it. So far no luck with Sawmill Tansky Toyota.

Is this still happening? I have an 2006 Tacoma 4x4 with gapping holes in frame never recieved any notice, truck bought used from Toyota dealer in 2015.
Thanks

I have a tundra 2004 with the frame failing a part

Truck bed rotting right through in two Huge uniform spots on either side. Various other rust as well. Appears to come from below as it is bubbled out. Going to have frame inspected as we see rust. 2007 tundra. We are original owners.

I have a 2004 Sequoia with a rotten frame. Any class action suits or something that can be done about the mass frame failures still on the road??

I have just found out that my 2007 sequoias frame is badly rusted and was never notified of the frame recall or the lawsuit. If anyone knows any info on a new lawsuit or law firm involved please let me know

Hi Greg,

I have a 2006 Tundra with extensive frame damage due to the rust like everyone else on here. Do you have info regarding another class action lawsuit regarding this? Doesn’t make any sense how the Sequoias are covered but the Tundras aren’t. I understand they’re a little longer, but that’s still crazy. Let me know about any new class action lawsuit.

Can I call this number, they're saying I qualify, but my offer expired in 2019. They mailed it to me....NEVER received anything in the mail. Looking for a frame or check. My 2007 tundra frame is so bad it rotted the whole frame, and body!

I have a2005 Sequoia and just found out that my truck frame is so bad that I can’t drive it. . Called everyone from Toyota same B.S. like everyone got. If there is a 2nd lawsuit please let me know. Thanks

I have a 2003 toyota sequoia and was told just recently my falls under the category of the frame being able to be fixed by toyota..I bought the car 3 years ago and the vehicle looked in perfect condition, frame and all and now when I take it places to get ball joints or anything done people are afraid to touch it or do work on I was told toyota should be have to fix it for nothing.. I'm homeless and live in my vehicle and this is the only thing I have left..Can anyone help me out??

I also have a 2003 toyota Sequoia and I have 301,000 miles on mine and it runs great but I was told recently since I'm homeless that toyota should fix my frame for nothing and I have no other vehicle but this and I was ripped off by a dealer buying it when they undercoated the frame with holes in it to hide it and sell it to me without knowing..I love my vehicle and don't want to give it up..
