Consumer Description

THE FRAME ON MY 4RUNNER WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO RUST, WHICH I NEED TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE MUCH MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT RUST LIKE IT DID FROM THE INSIDE. THE RUST IS FROM THE INSIDE, WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE ON THE ROAD ESPECIALLY IN STATES WHERE AN INSPECTION IS NOT REQUIRED. IT COULD EASILY GO UNNOTICED UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE, AND SOMEBODY COULD GET HURT OR KILLED WHEN THE FRAME FAILS. *TR
