Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 4 RUNNER INTO GARAGE IN SEPTEMBER TO GET INSPECTION STICKER AND IT FAILED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED CHANGING. UNFORTUNATELY, I JUST TOOK IT TODAY INTO ANOTHER SHOP FOR BETTER LABOR RATES AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE RACK IS FINE BUT THAT THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON TACOMAS AND THUNDRAS MADE BY TOYOTA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING ISSUES OF FRAMES RUSTING ON SEVERAL 4 RUNNERS. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JS
