| Description of the problem | The frame is rusted through in large, weight-bearing areas. Some of the holes are 3 inches or more in diameter. I have been told it is dangerous to drive. Toyota had a rust proofing recall around 2012. They sprayed some tar-like material on it which did no good. I am the original owner and have taken good care of the vehicle. This frame is every bit as bad as all the sequoia frames toyota recalled and replaced from model year 2005 on. I deserve the same treatment as the later owners with their rusted frames. Less important but annoying is the rust on the body over the left read wheelwell which is glaringly obvious when a passenger opens that door. You can see right through that part of the body. It happened within a few years of purchase. |
