Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL, I TOOK MY 2005 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5 TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TODAY TO GET A TIRE ROTATION. THEY TOLD ME MY FRAME WAS TOO RUSTED OUT TO LIFT UP FOR FEAR OF HARMING MY CAR. I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER AND THEN NEW TRD WHEELS INSTALLED AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE NOT A SINGLE MECHANIC MENTIONED RUST ON MY FRAME. APPARENTLY IT'S MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE THAT HAS IT THE WORST.
