| Description of the problem | Recall: structure of truck. I have 2003 toyota 4 runner that is rusting real bad. The structure frame is loosing a lot of rust . I have even have at least 3 wholes in my passenger side frame under my truck. I see many other people are having this issue. I would like to see someone look into to see why this is happening and take action because i feel this will become a serous safety issue to people who are having this issue with the structure rusting of the truck. I just had my vehicle at the dealer for warranty work and nothing was noted on the final checkout paper work about the serous issue with the rust. My vehicle is driven for daily use no off tossing or crazy activities with my vehicle. We even wash our vehicle regularly doing the winter months.... I see they have did a structure recall to ( toyota tacoma, tundras, and sequios. I am really surprised how this is happening to tony vehicle. Please note this has been a issue for awhile with the truck with rusting it just did not start . |
