NHTSA Complaint #11099854 — 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

2004 V8 4 RUNNER WITH ONLY 62,000 MI.,FRAME FRACTURE RIGHT REAR @ LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHMENT POINT. LEFT REAR OF FRAME MISSING TWO SIDES @ WHEEL WELL AND LARGE HOLE AT LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHMENT. ADVISED BY MECHANIC NOT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE TOYOTA HAD WITH THE TACOMA AND TUNDRA TRUCKS OF THE SAME YEARS. THE FRAME IS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE SUSPENSION THAT ATTACHES TO IT WILL FALL OFF. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE HAS NO RUST AND RUNS PERFECTLY.. IT WAS NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENT AND THE PAINT AND BODY ARE LIKE NEW, BUT THE FRAME MEMBERS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION IF WASN'T FOR MY MECHANIC FINDING THIS DURING A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.VISIT.
