| Description of the problem | We had just bought the vehicle when the rear end began swaying from side to side and we took it to the mechanic at toyota and was told that the whole frame was rusted out and was to dangerous to drive but they could not help us. The same frame was on the other 3 makes and was recalled and that ours needs to be recalled. They all know it needs to be recalled and i wish they would just do it because it just sits out there and is in great condition all but the frame rust. |
