| Description of the problem | This 2003 4runner has 85k miles on it and has severe rust on the front corners of the frame. The safety of driving this vehicle is questionable. There's also significant rust on other metal components as well. I previously owned a 2006 tundra that was recalled for severe frame rust and i know several other people that had tundras and tacomas with severe rust problems on the frame. The 4runner has a truck frame under it like the other toyota trucks and has the same frame rust issues. Why is there no recall for the 4runner? |
