Description of the problem	"takata recall" my 2003 toyota 4runner failed state inspection today for the first time ever due to extreme frame rust. The vehicle is totally unsafe to drive because of rusted out holes in the metal frame . Yes, if i drove over large pothole or involve in a collision, this vehicle would separate in pieces and not to mention what level of bodily harm you would sustain . Even though my odometer reads 255,000+ miles, the engine seems to be able to run another 200,000 plus miles with no electrical or mechanical issues and body looks fantastic for the year. On-the-hand vehicle frame below is in horrible condition, with holes rusted through the metal and no signs of any under coat paint protection (hate to lose such a wonderful vehicle). Please add my vehicle and safety concerns to the list of other 4th generation toyota 4runners owners facing the same frame rust issue.
