Consumer Description

IN MY OWN WORDS, I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 4X4 WITH ONLY 27,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND THE CHASSIS IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THRU, WITH HUGE BIG HOLES ON THE CHASSIS. TOYOTA USED SOME VERY CHEAP METAL AND DIDN'T SPRAY ANY CHASSIS PRETECTION FROM RUST. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SHOCK MOUNT RUSTED COMPLETELY THAT THE SHOCK FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, NOW THERE IS NO MOUNT FOR THE SHOCK NOW. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL ON A CURVE THAT WAS A LITTLE BUMPY, AS I PASSED THE CURVE MY 4RUNNER FELT LIKE THE BACK KEPT SLIDING, I FELT LIKE IT WAS ALMOST ABOUT TO FLIP OVER. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR ALL OTHER TOYOTA SUV BUT NOT FOR TOYOTA 4RUNNER WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IF THEY USED THE SAME METAL TO MAKE THE CHASSIS. MY CHASSIS IS EVEN MORE RUSTED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS A SMALL DRIP RUBBER TUBE WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER DROPS ANY AC CONDENSATION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY 2008 4RUNNER BUT IT ONLY HAS LESS THAN 27,000 ORIGINAL MILES... CAN YOU. RELIVE THAT. I EVEN HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS TO PROVE IT. SMH AND I REALLY LIKE MY 4RUNNER.
