| Description of the problem | The frame on my 2003 toyota 4runner has almost rusted completely through the frame. While driving on i40 going around a deep curve i lost control of the vehicle and ran off the road without injury or collision. It was inspected and deemed not safe to drive due to the rusted frame. This vehicle is now immobile until the frame is replaced. I am requesting that this vehicle is included in the recall for the toyota 4 runners. This happened 9/26/2018. |
