Consumer Description
I HAVE 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER V6 4.0 SR5. MILAGE 130.000. THE FRAME HAS A LOT OF RUST. ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE THRU WHOLE THAT SIDE. THE FRONT RADIATOR MOUNTS ARE ALSO CORRODED. BACK SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FRAME IS ALSO CORRODED. BASICALLY WHOLE FRAME IS VERY RUSTY. IF I TOUCH THE FRAME THE PIECES START TO FALL DOWN. EVERYTHING IS OK WITH VEHICLE ONLY THE FRAME IS VERY RUSTY. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I CAN DRIVE LIKE THIS. HOPEFULLY MORE PEOPLE WILL GET INVOLVED AND TOYOTA WILL SOLVE THAT ISSUE. 4RUNNER IS A GREAT VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT AT LEAST 5 MORE YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY I THINK I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF RUSTY FRAME. DRIVING WILL NO LONGER BE SAFE. I HOPE MORE 4RUNNERS 4TH GENERATION OWNERS WILL COMPLAIN AND TOYOTA WILL REPLACE THE FRAMES.
