Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA SR5 4RUNNER WITH EXTREME FRAME ROT FRAME THE INSIDE OUT. EXPERTS AGREE THAT I HAVE ONLY A YEAR OR TWO LEFT WITH THIS FRAME. I HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO PASS INSPECTION BUT THIS IS ONLY A BAND AID. I UNDERSTAND THAT I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, BUT TO HAVE THE FRAME ROT FROM THE INSIDE OUT SHOWS A DESIGN FLAW OR INFERIOR STEEL USED FRO THE FRAME, POSSIBLY INADEQUATE CORROSION PROTECTION. JUST A BAD SCENARIO NOT WHICH WAY YOU PUT IT. ROT FROM THE INSIDE OUT IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
