Here's what you do. Get signage in big letters for the side of the truck "Toyota makes lemons." Park it in front of the dealership and leave it there 24/7. The go to the local news station and tell them your story that Toyota refuses to compensate military veteran with dangerous truck frame.

I had a good friend in 1975 who bought his first brand new Honda Civic. He and his wife got caught up in some high water…. engine locked up…. bent some rods…… he had 18, 000 miles on it …. back when Honda had 12, 000 mile warranty. I told him he’s probably out of luck. Honda was SO DEDICATED to keeping customers happy those early days….. Honda gave him a new engine! I could not believe it! He was one happy Honda owner…..👍

That's a beautiful truck. It's a shame that Toyota won't fix the problem for the guy. It doesn't matter that Toyota didn't physically make the frame, they should know better. I thought Toyota cared about their reputation.

[MARKN]

Hopefully Toyota sees this or the corporate office and gets his frame done

[jaguarxkss]

Thank you very much Scotty for standing up for this guy. VIN & Condition of Truck…. Shame on Toyota!

One of the best "You're on notice!" rants...loved it. Yeah, the owner did all the right things, truck looks emaculate, he really deserves to have his ship righted. Shame on Toyota for this failure of using the wrong company for their parts.

Scotty ranting about a Toyota now I've seen everything 😂

Great job calling Toyota out Scotty. You are the best, always trying to help people.

2005 Tacoma with Dana frame here. From the factory which was NUMMI in Fremont, CA, the frame was coated with something which looked like black Vaseline. I wondered, but I thought “Toyota, good reputation.” I was wrong. The frame rusted furiously. I was ready to send my truck to the auction house just to be rid of it because I didn’t think it was ethical to sell it. I got a letter from Toyota in 2015 regarding the rust, saying the frame would be repainted or replaced. The dealer inspection deemed the frame unrepairable and Toyota agreed to replace the frame March 2016. The repair took two technicians two days, but the result was like having a new vehicle, and I’m still driving the Tacoma. I don’t know who made the replacement frame, but it is painted with something fairly tough which looks like powder coat or POR-15.

After hearing this video from Scotty, I’m pretty reluctant about the idea of buying another Toyota product, especially a US made Toyota product.

Toyota replaced the frame on my 2005 Tundra for free. The truck still runs great.

I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab I bought New. 10 years ago I got a letter from Toyota about Frame rust. I brought my Truck To My Local Dealership where I bought the truck. They gave me a loaner Vehicle. The next morning I got a call From the dealership. They said that the frame Was Like Brand New and Didn't need a Frame. I told them I Am a mechanic and i always pressure washed the underside of the truck in the winter. They Said The mechanics were Impressed How Well the frame was and that they would spray the coating on the frame. I got the truck back . When I used the turn signals the relay cycled fast which means one of the lights is not working. When Checking They forgot to hook Up One of the wire harnesses . Also I checked and saw they scratched the cab of the truck when they reinstalled the bed of the truck which they removed to spray the coating on the frame. 2 years later the coating started pealing off and rust was on the frame which was not on the frame before they applied the coating. That was Proof they didn't clean the frame before applying the coating which sealed in any contamination that was on the frame before the coating. That Dealer Destroyed My Truck. Before Bringing The Truck To The Dealer The Frame Was Like New. I Should Never have Had That Recall Done. The Frame is All Rotted Now And Does NOT Pass State Safety Inspection.

As an owner of 3 current Toyotas, I am shocked and appalled that Toyota wont fix this frame. Makes me wonder if theyre not standing by their products any longer. Come on, Toyota, fix this beautiful Tundra. It deserves to be made right.

One part penetrating oil..one part 80w 90 gear oil...2 parts transmission fluid. Penetrating oil creeps it..trans fluid kills rust..80w 90 gear oil makes it tacky and doesnt wash off. Best period. Tried many experiments. This works .

I have a 2011 Hyundai sonata. There was a recall that I had forgotten about. It's an A to B car so I run it pretty hard but there was something to do with the internals of the motor. It was past the warranty when the 4 cylinder was toast and let me sit. Towed it to the dealership and they told me it needed a new motor. Was a thousand miles over. Service guy says let me go talk to my manager. He comes back out and said we're going to replace the motor and it won't cost you. They still honored the recall. Id like to see Toyota stand behind this frame. As far as what vehicles are manufactured now id want to say Toyota would be the best or one of the best. This coming from someone who has had GM trucks and would switch in the future. If they won't stand behind that truck id be leary of buying their product too.

[LevelUpLegion]

I'm amazed that Toyota refuses to address this issue.

Scotty’s Celica will never rust because he never drives it.

I have worked on cars since I was 5 years old, helping my dad work on every hunk of they made Peugeot, renoalt, Saab, imagine my amazement when he came home with a AMC javelin or a Pontiac anything. I remember when he used to say "hold the flashlight over here damnit, does it look it like I'm working over there.

[Two_Buck]

What a gorgeous truck. Not fixing the frame is a really bad look for Toyota. What a shame.

[sethholsopple]

Hope this guy gets a new frame he took very good care of the truck it looks brand new other than the frame.
