NHTSA Complaint #10760334 — 2001 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH TOYOTA FRAMES. THE FRAMES ON THE 3RD GENERATION 4RUNNER, AND THE EQUIVALENT FRAME ON THE TOYOTA TACOMA ARE PRONE TO ROTTING. TOYOTA STEPPED UP TO REPLACE THE TACOMA FRAMES SINCE THEY WERE CRACKING IN HALF. ALTHOUGH, THE 4RUNNERS ARE SUFFERING FROM THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND TOYOTA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE RECENTLY HAD TO REMOVE A 2" X 24" SECTION OF FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE FRAME ROT IS OCCURRING FROM THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR FORWARD UNTIL THE CROSS MEMBER.
