What owners wrote
2004 toyota tundra recall for front ball joints--2006 received notice and took to dealer in bozeman, mt to check...we were told our truck wasn't part of recall....months later, received another notice...called and emailed dealer, but they did not return calls or emails. October 2007 front passenger wheel "broke" while driving and we wrecked.
Massive generalized rust under vehicle. This is affecting the frame, suspension, all lines, exhaust, all metal fittings, wheels, brakes, spare tire. My mechanic does not know how to proceed and suggested we no longer drive this vehicle. Toyota dealer said this is not included in the rust recall which is in effect for tundra trucks exactly like this one , but off by a couple months by manufacturing date.
