Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER AND WE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH. TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON TACOMA AND TUNDRA MODELS FROM THE SAME YEAR WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND WAS ABLE TO HELP CONSUMERS. BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THE 4RUNNER, THEY HAVE NEGLECTED MY CONCERNS. THE FRAME IS NOT SAFE AND FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE FRAME COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY TO MY FAMILY OR OTHERS. I ASK THAT TOYOTA BE FORCED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO OTHER VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE FRAMES ALL CAME FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER. THE METALS USED TO MAKE THE FRAMES WERE NOT OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, WHICH IS RESULTING IN THIS DETERIORATION OF THE FRAME. *TR
