1998 Toyota T100 Complaints

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 TOYOTA T100. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE SPECIALIST ADVISED HIM THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR FRAME SPRINGS MOUNT WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND EXHIBITED HOLES. THE TIRE SPECIALIST ADVISED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,925.

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

WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE LOWER LEFT A-ARM BROKE (RUST) AND LEFT FRONT TIRE COLLAPSED. HAVE LEARNED THAT TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCKS MADE IN '90S HAD DEFECTIVE FRAMES AND THERE WAS A BUY BACK. SHOP TELLS ME MY FRAME IS BAD. TRUCK HAS ONLY 69K MILES ON IT. TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY THE SAME AS A TACOMA, IS TOYOTA DOING ANYTHING FOR T-100S? DEALER SAID NO? *JS

THE FRAME HAS EXTENSIVE RUST/DAMAGE. *TR
