Consumer Description

THE FRAME OF MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED- TO THE POINT WHERE PARTS OF IT ARE BREAKING OFF. THE REST OF THE BODY/ENGINE ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 3RD GENERATION TOYTOA 4RUNNERS (YEARS 1998-2002). TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE 1998-2002 TACOMA FRAMES WHICH ARE IDENTICAL TO THE 4RUNNER. THE CAR IN UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TOYOTA WILL TAKE NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM.
