Hello I am a new member and need help with frame problem

I have a 2006 Tacoma 6 cylinder trd off road. I live in upstate NY and drive it all the time in the winter, so it gets salt underneath. I noticed there is a section of my frame coming apart, I am guessing due to rust. Toyota said it is common and not to worry. I am just looking for anyone else with this problem and any advice. Will it get much worse and should I be concerned. The rest of the frame looks pretty good just a little surface rust. Thank you for any feedback!

 

I'd visit another dealer.

 

I will try another dealer, Thanks Bill

 

Welcome to TW...They’re right it is common,but...it’s also something to worry about!!

 

Is it from rust? Should I try to repair it my self if toyota will not repair it? I have 80,000 on it and was hoping to put on another 80,000

 

See if it qualifies for frame replacement.

 

Dealership said there has to be holes.

 

I would still get second opinion from another dealership then.

 

yes i will thanks!

 

I would express to the dealer that steel that is experiencing delamination is a larger concern than holes at tell them that you want a letter from them stating the frame is solid and safe to drive. I bet you get a new frame.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Welcome to TW! The dealerships are supposed to inspect it to see if you qualify for a frame replacement.
