Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO BOUNCE LEFT AND RIGHT AND COULDN'T STOP IT. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE CAR .WHEN I CHECKED THE REAR SUSPENSION I'VE SEEN THAT THE ENTIRE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE STABILIZATION BAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN DUE TO RUSTED FRAME. I NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE . I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER IN LIBERTIVILLE IL AND AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME AS A DEALER CAUSE TOYOTA DOES NOT A HAVE A RECALL ON TOYOTA 4 RUNNERS BUT THERE IS A RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUES ON OTHER MODELS LIKE TACOMA OR TUNDRA. THIS IS RIDICULOUS . WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THIS CAR NOW. I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN MY AREA AND WHEN THEY SEEN IT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT WELD THE FRAME AT THIS POINT CAUSE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS ROUTED AND ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. SO MY CAR IS TRASH NOW . THANKS TOYOTA *TR
