Consumer Description

THE ENTIRE FRAME OF MY TOYOTA HAS RUSTED AND IS BECOMING UNSAFE. THERE ARE GIANT HOLES IN THE FRAME WHERE RUST HAS EATEN IT AWAY. THE REST OF THE 4RUNNER IS PERFECTLY BRAND NEW AND FINE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE FRAME WILL BREAK AT ANY MOMENT CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE FRAME OR HELP IN ANYWAY. THE FRAME NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY TOYOTA. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON MOST OF THEIR TRUCKS FROM THE 2000S. THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THIS MODEL/YEAR. PLEASE HELP!
