| Description of the problem | There is excessive rusting of the undercarriage on my 2005 toyota sequoia. While the vehicle is 5 years old it has less than 38k miles. The rust is literally flaking off the frame rails, shock towers, and most other structural components. Since there is no "perforation" toyota classifies the condition as normal. My concern is that in a crash, i fear that the structural stability may be compromised due to toyota's metalury decisions. |
