Vehicle developed fuel leak discovered during inspection due to severe corrosion. Toyota failed to make repairs despite being covered by a federal emissions warranty enhancement. Severe rust of frame identified. Now shifter not working due to further corrosion. Letters to toyota have been fruitless. Internet full of similar problems with these vehicles. Similar age tundra and tachomas recalledfor the same problem.the t-100's are a serious threat to public safety and problem should be addressedby nhtsa as toyota is not taking appropriate actions despite numerous complaints.

Speedometer failure.
I have read several of the descriptions on the site and am afraid i'm driving an unsafe vehicle now because of the underlying rust issues which could be at the root of shifter issues, as in a previous complaint and the dangerous frame rust issue. I am not a mechanic, but i recognize many of the rust issues described here on my t100. Nhtsa should re-examine the decision to give toyota a break by not requiring that they buy back vehicles as done with similar models in their family with the frame rust issues. The allowance to continue t100s be driven puts passengers and other motorists at risk. I purchased this vehicle used, and the mechanicals and appearance belies the significant safety issues beneath.the nhtsa is remiss to not put pressure on toyota to include these vehicles in their recall as a good faith and safety measure... As the owner of newer, allegedly safe, toyota products, i am also concerned by their lack of response... Does someone have to lose their life before a suitable response is mandated? after all, this vehicle could be behind you on the drive home tonight. This ignores how this vehicle would likely just crumble in an accident. I plan to bring this vehicle in for a comprehensive check now, but in the interim, worry about its safe use. The fact that my kids are even near it when it is parked gives me pause now. Please use you influence to impress upon toyota that what is right for the safety of their customers is right for them. Thanks for reading my thoughts and for you consideration in working towards a resolution.
Speedometer bounces at various speeds 6 cables replaced, 1 head, and 1 gear problem still exists.dealer unable to repair.will not see again without toyota engineers present!dealer specified unrepairable problem!
Took truck to repair shop for exhaust repair. Technician found the frame to be rusted badly with holes through the frame. Told me that i need to have this looked at by a toyota dealer because there should be a recall because it could get dangerous. He also pointed out rust on brake lines and other suspension parts that needed replaced soon.
Speedometer starts to fluctuate after 323 original miles. The speedometer head was replaced. The cable assembly was replaced twice. But it seems the problem kepps on coming back.
Speedometer fluctuates at the speeds below 50 mph. The dealers replace the speedometer head and replace the cable assembly twice. But the problem keep on coming back.
Additional information regarding claim no. 10451047. In reviewing claim i realized the safety issues not fully covered. A serious incident occurred while using this vehicle. While bringing bagged leaves to town recycling area, a bag fell from the truck. My son and i stopped in the road to retrieve the debris behind the truck. While retrieving the debris the vehicle began backing up and almost struck us. I had to run to the drivers door and enter the moving vehicle to apply the brake to prevent a crash. It became apparent that when placed in park the shifter may in fact be in reverse. This allows the vehicle to move unexpectedly. Unfortunately this can not be easily repaired as failure of the frame was identified as the cause for loss of the shifter support. This serious defect can be expected to produce this type of dangerous situation of the vehicle being inadvertently in reverse instead of in park!
Hard to shift into gear.clutch support bracket cracked in several places. One major crack.replace bracket...*la
While driving the vehicle at 45mph , consumer pushed the clutchpedal to the floor. Allege the clutchpedal bracketor mountingsurface on fire wall broke. Ts
While driving vehicle lost power, leaving consumer without any help. Took vehicle to dealer where they found out that problem was with clutch bracket and replaced it.
Clutch braket cracked
Clutch bracket (mounted inside passenger compartment on firewall behind clutch pedal) cracked.cracked bracket deforms when clutch pedal is pressed, keeping clutch from disengaging completely.
Truck became difficult to shift and would lock up in first ear or reverse.discovered that the clutch pedal bracket was cracked, and warped and the firewall had also cracked.
The consumer had a problem with the vehicle going into first gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the clutch pedal bracket.please describe further.*nlm
Mounting bracket broke that attaches pedal to the clutch.vehicle will not move. Dealershipwas aware of problem.
Clutch pedal would not disengage. The clutch pedal bracket was twisted.work order stated part was worn.consumer refused service.consumer's inspection revealed the replacement part had been completely remanufactured with a higher grade of steel.after removing the old bracket, consumer found two fractures in the unit.consumer was concerned that dealership knew about the defective part.
Universal joint failed.
1997 toyota t-100, seat belts fail to perform properly since originally purchased in 1997.seat belts fail to retract and are constantly hanging outside the truck through the bottom of the truck door whether in use or not.seat belts have been wet hundreds of times, have been exposed to road salt for every winter since 1997.since the problem was discovered in 1997 soon after the truck was purchased it was brought to the attention of the dealership several times who quickly dismissed the problem by informing me "what do you want us to do, these belts conform to all federal requirements...there is nothing we can do...even if we were to install new belts they would be just like what is on the vehicle now".i guess the question i have is, are these seat belts as safe today as they should be?if the answer is no, then my next question is, why not?
Well on my 1997 toyota t-100 extended cab the rear seat belt to hold the child seat in place keeps coming loose and i have not other option that place the child seat on the rt or lt rear seats and this will or might risk my kid in a dangerous situation in case of a collision, also the drivers seat come loose super loose it wont restrain and in going to have to get one soon. So i ask to the nsths to contact toyota's manufacturer and have them handle this problem. I did include my truck information and hope to hear from toyota's manufactures soon, thanks again and have a wonderful day.
The defective design of driver's seat beltlap portion causes bruises and pain to his hip area,causing the occupant not to wear his seatbelt because it harms him.dealer and manufacturer won't help on this problem.
Seat belts failed.
Front seat belts will not retract when disengaged.retractor spring not strong enough to retract the belt through the b-pillar anchor point.consequently, the belt was loose,not tight to shoulder, when in use,andwas a safety issue.further, since the belt didnot retract when disengaged the belt occasionally got caught in the door which weakens the belt strength.dealer not willing to fix, and denied a problem existed.therefore, any replacement part will have the same weak spring issue, and will not correct the problem.
Weak spring on seat belts for both passenger and driver. Will not completely recoil, and therefore was frequently crimped in door with door closure. Weak belt wasexpected to result, a hazard for both the drive and the other front seat passenger, but especially the driver.
Front lap/shoulder belts will not retract fully when disengaged.the retractor is not strong enough to pull the webbing through the d-ring mounted on the b-pillar.consequently, the slack in the webbing sometimes gets caught in the door jamb when exiting the vehicle.the strength of the webbing is diminished as it frays.the dealer service representative informs me that the retractor spring is too weak but toyota has no plans on a repair kit.the safety belt would be replaced with the like w/in the five year warranty period.
Front shoulder seat belts will not retract. They will hang on the floor. The dealer attempted to repair the problem approximately four times, and cannot duplicate the problem.
Rear lap belt loosens whenin use.cssis restrained with lap belt.dealer has not replaced restraint.manufacturer has been notified.
Driver's seatback broke while driving, resulting in a minor collision. Dealer and the manufacturerhave been notified.
Mechanically this truck is very sound, but the frame and many parts are rusting excessively.when i first bought the truck i had it undercoated.this didn't last long and i've had to replace the control arms, the load sensing proportioning valve and was recently told that i am at risk of not being inspected in july due to the rust on the frame.the vehicle only has 153,000 miles on it and it should still run strong, but the frame may make it impossible to get my value out of the vehicle.i feel like i wasted my money on a toyota product that used to have a good reputation.

Brakes failed.
On my1997 toyota t100 pick up, i replaced the front wheel brake hoses -the pedal went all the way to the floor, the master cylinder is a single cylinder for all four wheels, when it should have separate cups for the front and back wheels, my wife's 07 camryalso has asingle master cylinder for all four wheels.
Vacuum system has failed twice within 2 week period.both times a new valve was installed.
While making a left turn the steering wheel won't return to center upon completion of the turn.i understand there was a major safety vehicle recall for this truck however two dealers in merced and modesto, california have told me there is no safety recall.the 1995 to 1998 recall was for total loss of steering due to a broken steering rod.i bought this truck in california one year ago and we know for certain that it was originally sold in texas.

While driving consumer tried to make a left turn, steering turned but the wheels kept straight. Driver feels this is very unsafe. Please provide any further information. Took vehicle to a mechanic.
Center link of the steering wheel has broken while driving, ausing loss of steering control. Manufacturerwas notified. Part is availablefor analysis. Feel free to provide any further information.
Why wasn't the vehicle recalled when others had been reported with this defect--steering linkages broken?with inspection of this component, it was confirmed that it was a manufacturer defect.
The central steering linkage that connects the tie rods was defective. This defect resulted in a total loss of steering. Fortunately the steering linkage rod failed as i turned into the driveway. I saved the rod for further analysis if you wish to retrieve the rod. The auto shop that repaired the vehicle had not seen this defect, and it appeared that the rod was manufactured about 80% separated. Despite this, it requiredalmost 6 years for the rod to fracture. The 80% that was not solid was never completely formed.minutes before the failure , i was returning from the hospital, and the speed limit was 55 mph. Had this failure occurred on the road i would have had a catastrophic steering failure and resulted in an accident and possibly much worse.i am concerned that other similar vehicles could have this defect and lead to accidents, and or fatalities.*la
I have a 1997 toyota t-100 4x4 extended cab pickup truck. The center drag link in the steering failed. I am a licensed professional structural engineer and have knowledge of metal fatique, fabrication defects, etc. The casting appears to have been defective. This component has never been abnormally stressed to the best of my knowledge. The result of the failure left the steering wheel turning freely without changing the direction that the wheels were pointed. The failure actually occurred in a parking lot, therefore there was not additional damage. If the failure had occured minutes earlier i would have been on the interstate traveling at speed. This could have easily been the cause of a catastrophic accident. Fortunately, there was no related accident. I took the vehicle directly to the dealer. I have photos of the failure that were taken by the dealer. The photos are digital and are such that they can be emailed.
Steering drag link broke, causingsteering system to be inoperativewhich may resultinloss of vehicle and a crash.please provide further information.
Received a safety recall notice for a specific part (steering relay rod); took vehicle to dealership for replacement; dealership refused to replace the recalled part, unless we agreed to have a couple other "bad" parts replaced & paying over $1,000 (those parts also pertained to the steering. We did not have the money for the other parts to be repaired at that time, & the dealership refused our recalled replacement... (although he did give us an oil change.) unsure of exact month & day (guessing), but was in 2006, just after receiving the first recall notice .
While backing out of the driveway consumer heard a loud noise, and then loss steering control.consumer inspected the vehicle, and found that the tie rod broke.vehicle was towed to the dealer, and they confirmed that tie rodbroke. Consumer had the parts available for analysis.the consumer was told by the dealer that the steering rod broke.the consumer stated that the cast iron rod broke just above thebrake.*tc
While traveling at 5 mph, the steering tie rod had broken, and consumer lost control of vehicle.steering wheel turned completely around. Consumer also felt that fortunately the speed was at a low rate, because death could have occurred, resulting from failure, in which toyotas cust/serv was uncooperative.*scc
While driving 25 mph, the vehicle started veering to the left, the vehicle then hit an embankment and turned over.the tie rod was severed through.the manufacturer stated that the tie rod broke when the vehicle tipped over.
While driving 35 mphrack and pinion arm broke and lost control of vehicle. Had towed to dealership.
Our 1997 toyota t100 extended cab is falling apart with rust.the bumper pulled completely off and the bed moves as if it will break away from the cab. The side steps (you step on to climb up into the truck) have rusted and broken off as well).we have to drive it, but fear a tragic accident will occur.this truck has far more rust than even the recalled tacomas we saw bought back by toyota.we would like toyota to recall and buy back the t100s as well.
Renewed my registration sept 18 2012, but the frame didn't pass inspection, too many holes and thin walls on the frame. All of the framework just falling apart, rest of the truck, drive train just fine. If the clothe seat, which has never been covered had to pass inspection, it would easily! dirty, but no holes or rips. How utterly ridiculous is that? tried 3 times to get someone from toyota to talk about it, but they just play real stupid and say they don,t know anything about the frames rotting on the t100's and can't help me. Can and will take pictures.

The frame has rusted and has become unsafe, just like the tacoma and tundra.i had the frame inspected by toyota, they agreed "frame perch is rotted".

1997 toyota t100 truck is in fine condition but the frame is rust rotted through. This is the same exact issue as found and recalled for same-era toyota tacomas (and tundras later) but for some reason toyota will not recognize thet100 in the recall. Truck runs great and is in good condition but the rust has caused holes in the frame and will not pass inspection. It will probably fall apart soon.

1997 toyota t-100 has frame rust rot and is not drivable any more. The brakes do not work. The frame is in incredibly terrible shape. Very unsafe and is in fact not drivable any more. The body and the rest of the truck are in very good shape with no rust and the motor is in excellent condition. I have had the truck for almost two years but have only put 5,000 miles on it. The truck now has 65,000 miles on it. I purchased it from a dealer in pennsylvania. I think toyota should honor their commitment to t-100 owners just as they have tacoma and tundra owners. I backed the truck out of my driveway recently and found that the brakes didn't work as i rolled out of control down a hill. Luckily there were no other vehicles coming and i was able to get the truck stopped by turning the ignition off. The repair shop near my house informed me that the frame was so bad that it was not fixable.
I took my 1997 t100 toyota truck to uniontown toyota dealer for a neutral switch repair which cost $360. At that time i was advised by the service manager not to drive the vehicle due to the current problem that toyota is having with frame deterioration. Toyota currently has a recall on years back up to1995.this deterioration in my 1997 is obviously the same issue they are having and are honoring in the previous years' models.the frame needs to be replaced according to the service manager at the above dealership.my vehicle has been in my garage since this repair july 10th,this is a garage kept vehicle- it is clearly defected and should be honored by toyota as they are honoring past year identical issue.after discussing this issue with toyota representatives at their main headquarters in california, they refused to fix the problem stating that our 1997 truck was not recalled, even though their service representatives have stated that it clearly was the same problem.

Misalignment.
While driving experiences constant vibration. The vibration is more pronounced when driving a highway speeds. It has also occurred at speeds as low as 35 mph.
While driving at 35 mphconsumer experiences problems withvehicle vibration. Also, there is a leakage and the consumer doesn't know where the leakage is coming from.when picking up speed the vehicle starts to vibrate, and the vehicle is having problemswith the weight of carrying consumer .
Consumer was driving about 40 mph when noticed that there was a lot of vibration within the vehicle.when picking up more speed or slowing down, there is still alot of vibration as if the consumer would have alot of people in the vehicle. The vehicle acts like it can't hold on.
Tires wear excessively.
