Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPING EXCESSIVE RUST FLAKING ON THE REAR AXLE HOUSING,BRAKE COMPONENTS, FRAME AND REAR SUSPENSION COMPONETS.WE HAVE HAD WARRANTY WORK PERFORMED APPROX. 1 YEAR AGO AND THE MECHANICS AT TOYOTA STATED THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE OR REPAIR VARIOUS TRANSMISSION LINES BEFORE THEY WOULD RETURN THE VEHICLE TO MY WIFE. I ASKED THEM WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO ABOUT ALL THE RUST PROBLEMS AND THEY REALLY DIDNT HAVE A ANSWER AND SAID I NEED TO TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT WAS NOT THERE AT THE TIME. I HAVE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO RADICATE THIS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND WAS PURCHASED NEW AS WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE KNOW TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY FEAR IS THAT WE ARE ON A TRIP AND HAVE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF ONE OR MORE COMPONENTS AND GETTING IN A ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT YET.
