Consumer Description

I NOTICED THAT THE FRAME OF MY 06 4RUNNER HAS BEGUN TO CORRODE SEVERELY. THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FRAME THAT POSE A SEVERE SAFETY THREAT AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE WHOLE FRAME COULD GIVE OUT AT ANY TIME. TOYOTA RECALLED TACOMA'S FROM THE SAME TIMESPAN DUE TO FRAME ISSUES YET THE 4RUNNERS WERE LEFT OFF... THE TRUCK IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION BESIDES THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE AND RECALL THEM BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. THE SUSPENSION DEFINITELY DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT AND WHEN BUMPS OR POTHOLES IN THE ROAD ARE HIT THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF IT'S BEING JERKED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR INVESTIGATION ON THE FRAMES OF THE 4RUNNERS AND GET TOYOTA TO RECALL THEM.
