2003 Toyota 4RUNNER Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1088634
Internal NHTSA #	10611347

Brand	TOYOTA
Model	4RUNNER
Model Year	2003
File date	15/03/10
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We purchased the vehicle in 2008 for $14,000 from a local toyota dealer, with 84,000 miles on it. The transmission lines rusted out shortly after that, the steering rack has been replaced twice, and now the gas tank has fallen down, and there is nothing left to attach a new support to. An automobile that should have a value of $6,000 + is now worthless, and we cannot even drive it safely. This was a chronic problem that was addressed by toyota early on, but they managed to avoid repairing this vehicle. Is there anything that i can do, other than warn others against buying a toyota. "ask someone who drives one".
