I bought a Toyota Tundra because I had always heard that Toyota stands for reliability. The truck is only two years old, yet bubbles and rust have already appeared on the roof. The main website says five-year warranty with unlimited mileage and says nothing about excluding external body rust, only this later claim that it covers corrosion from the inside only. That sounds completely absurd. Toyota brushed me off for weeks, promised callbacks that never came, and ultimately closed the case without even inspecting the vehicle. It feels like Korean or Chinese brands now treat customers better and have a stronger reputation. It’s embarrassing for a brand that once set the standard for reliability and customer care. I’m deeply disappointed and cannot recommend it. Do you honestly not see how this vehicle is rusting?
The photo clearly shows a small paint chip with rust spreading over a much larger area around it. That is exactly the problem you seem unwilling to acknowledge.
I own two other vehicles. One of them is five years old and has approximately 20 similar rock chips, yet none of them have rust forming around them. My Toyota Tundra is only two years old, with approximately 10 chips on the hood and two on the roof, where corrosion is developing.
This raises serious concerns about the quality of the materials and corrosion protection used during manufacturing.
I believe Toyota’s quality has declined dramatically. If a manufacturer provides a corrosion warranty, it should also take responsibility for the quality of its products instead of automatically blaming the customer.
A warranty should be a genuine commitment from the manufacturer, not just a promise on paper.
What disappoints me most is not only the rust itself, but also the company’s attitude and unwillingness to even consider the possibility of a manufacturing defect. This is not how a brand that built its reputation on quality and reliability should treat its customers. I would like to point out that Toyota used to be the gold standard for quality and reliability. Today, a two-year-old truck already has several recalls, forcing owners to make repeated trips to the dealership. On top of that, serious engine problems in some 2022 models have required complete engine replacements. I don’t know where Toyota is heading, but certainly not in the right direction. If this continues, a brand once known for reliability could become one of the worst-rated in the industry.
