Consumer Description

IN 2011, I NOTICED MY 2006 4RUNNER WAS RUSTING SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO LOOKED AT IN AND SAID NORMAL WEAR. NOW IN 2014, PARTS OF MY 4RUNNER ARE FALLING OFF, ONE HEAT SHIELD FELL OFF AND THE OTHER ONE IS RATTLING LIKE CRAZY, THE SCREWS HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. THERE IS SEVERE RUSTING, THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE, THE LATCH TO CLOSE THE REAR DOOR, THE BRAKES,THE GAS TANK, THE BODY HAS BROWN SPOTS, THE TIRE RIMS, THE ONLY PARTS NOT RUSTED ARE THE PLASTIC PARTS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY 4RUNNER. I HAVE HAD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS SO FAR ON A VEHICLE BOUGHT BRAND NEW. *TR
