Consumer Description
THERE IS LOT OF RUST ON FRAME, UNDER CARRIAGE AND ITS ALSO IN THE SUSPENSION. ITS ALSO CAUSING FLUIDS TO LEAK AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER ASSEMBLY DUE TO RUST. I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS CERTIFIED USED FROM PRESTIGE TOYOTA OF NJ WITH ONLY 5000 MILES IN AUGUST OF 2005, I PURCHASED THIS TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THEIR STELLAR REPUTATION IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY BUT I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE LESS THAN 109,000 MILES AND AT THE WAY THIS RUST IS PROGRESSING, I WILL HAVE TO JUNK THE CAR VERY SOON. I CANT RISK BEING ON THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY AND HAVE THIS RUST BUCKET FALL APART ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL BUT HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING COME THROUGH YET. PLEASE INCLUDE MY CAR IN ANY VEHICLE SAFETY RECALLS, OR CLASS ACTION SUITS AGAINST TOYOTA. THANK YOU
