Consumer Description
I PURCHASED MY 2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 4X4 SPORT ON 10-4-2018 FOR 9,000.00 WITH 130,000 MILES ON IT A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND A LOOK OVER AT MY FAVORITE SHOP AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY FRAME WAS RUSTING THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND THERE WERE A FEW HOLES RUSTED THROUGH THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I GO TO A TOYOTA DEALER BECAUSE THEY HEARD OF THE FRAME RECALLS SO I WENT TO A NEARBY TOYOTA REPAIR FACILITY AND TOLD THEM WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRAME ON MY 4RUNNER IS THE IDENTICAL FRAME THAT THEY USE ON THE TACOMA AND THEY HAVE HAD AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE BRINGING THEIR 4RUNNNERS IN BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD THE SAME THING BY OTHER SHOPS... I WAS TOLD THAT AT THIS TIME THAT THERE IS NO FRAME REPLACEMENT FOR THE 4RUNNER BUT THEY FEEL THAT THE 4RUNNER WILL SOON BE RECALLED AND THAT I SHOULD UNDERCOAT MY FRAME ASAP TO TRY AND SAVE WHAT IS LEFT PENDING ON A RECALL. PLEASE HELP US AND GET TOYOTA TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
