Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ON MY WAY HOME, I HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN SO I DID, WHEN I GAVE IT SOME GAS AS I COMPLETED MY TURN I NOTICED THAT IF FELT LIKE MY 4 RUNNER WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. EVERY TIME I GAVE IT SOME GAS YOU COULD FEEL AND EVEN SEE IT JERK TO THE RIGHT. THE MORE I DROVE THE I NOTICED THAT IT WASN'T STOPPING, IF ANYTHING IT HAD GOTTEN EVEN WORSE. SO, WHEN I WOKE UP TODAY I WENT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS CRAZY. THE FRAME LITERATELY RUSTED IN HALF. IT WAS IN TWO PEACES. MY MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW WHY OR HOW I EVEN MADE IT THERE. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO SEE, KNOWING I WAS DRIVING IN IT.
