Consumer Description
I OWN A 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER WITH SIGNIFICANT RUST ON THE FRAME THAT HAS NEARLY RUSTED THROUGH IN SOME AREAS. THROUGH MY RESEARCH I DETERMINED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR MANY TOYOTA VEHICLES CLOSE TO THE 2004 MODEL YEAR. APPARENTLY THE FRAME WAS NOT PROPERLY COATED AND RUST HAS GROWN ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS AT A MUCH FASTER RATE THAN IS TYPICALLY EXPECTED. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AS A RESULT.
