NHTSA Complaint #10758623 — 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

BOTH FRAME RAILS ARE RUSTING AWAY, MOST SERIOUS IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. THESE FRAME RAILS ARE THE KEY STRUCTURAL SUPPORT ELEMENTS TYING THE UPPER BODY AND DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION TOGETHER. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW TO TOYOTA MOTORS AND THEY HAVE RECALLED THE SAME YEAR MODELS OF TACOMA PICKUPS, HOWEVER, THEY FAIL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 4RUNNER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I CANNOT IN GOOD FAITH RESELL THIS VEHICLE OR TRADE IT IN AS-IS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD MAKE FAIR COMPENSATION TO OWNERS OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES TO EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM OR GET THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT POTENTIAL BODILY INJURY OR FATALITY.
