Consumer Description

WE OWN A 2000 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER WHOSE FRAME HAS CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT A TOYOTA DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT (SECOND OPINION) VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED THAT IT WAS AND HAD BEEN COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY SON, WHO DROVE IT 600 MILES TO COLLEGE, WAS PUT IN SERIOUS DANGER. WE TOOK A TOTAL LOSS ON THE CAR AFTER HAVING HAD IT DEALER SERVICED SINCE BUYING IT NEW IN 2000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. IT IS PRECISELY THE ISSUE TOYOTA FACED WITH THE TACOMA AND TUNDRA MODELS, WHICH THEY RECALLED AND STOOD BEHIND THROUGH REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT/DOLLAR CREDITS. WE AND THE DEALER CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY SEVERAL TIMES AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE 4RUNNER WITH THE SAME FRAME CORROSION PROBLEM AS THOSE MODELS. *TR
