NHTSA Complaint #10542364 — 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

THIS IS A 13 YEAR OLD SUV, THAT DESPITE PROPER MAINTENANCE AND A DEPENDABLE ENGINE HAD TO BE JUNKED DUE TO AN ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH FRAME. AFTER NOTICING SOME INCREASED RATTLING UNDER THE CAR, MY HUSBAND FOUND NOT ONLY HAD THE MUFFLER BRACKETS RUSTED AWAY (SOME PIECES FELL OUT), BUT IT WAS ONE POTHOLE AWAY FROM SEPARATING FROM THE SWING ARM. VERY DANGEROUS (ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN) AND APPEARED TO HAVE RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. NOT READILY NOTICEABLE FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE TOOK IT OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. TOYOTA DOES'T SEEM TO BOTHER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM LET ALONE DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
