Description of the problem	This is an ongoing and escalating problem with the rusting of the chassis. I noticed a leak originating from the rear differential. Took it to the dealer on 10-20-16 where i was told the fuel tank straps had completely rusted off and nothing was holding the tank. The differential leak was also a result of excessive rust and that the entire rear end would need replaced for $2k. The dealer gave me a rental due to the safety hazard of the fuel tank support straps being completely gone. Another $400 dollar repair. The body of my tundra is in very good shape as far as rust goes. The "known" issue of excessive chassis corrosion was addressed by toyota with a "bandaid" recall where they sprayed the chassis with anti corrosive material which i had done. A year later most of this anti corrosive material has flaked off due to the application of the material over the existing rust on the chassis at the time. It is a good thing that the rear differential rusted out when it did because the fuel tank falling out would have been a major safety problem.
