NHTSA Complaint #11298263 — 2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

MY FRAME ON MY 4RUNNER IS SHOWING MAJOR SIGNS OF RUST A HUGE HOLE HAS FORMED RIGHT IN THE MAIN FRAME DRIVER SIDE. AND ANOTHER IN THE TRAILING ARM MOUNT ALSO DRIVER SIDE. IF MY TRAILING ARM SNAPPED LOOSE ON A DIRT ROAD IT COULD FLIP THE WHOLE CAR. IT'S ONLY 14 YEARS OLD NOW AND THIS IS WAY EXCESSIVE FOR THAT AGE AS MOST VEHICLES WILL DRIVE IN THE SALT BELT STATES FOR WAY LONGER. AS YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T THE FIRST FRAME ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. THEY REALLY SLACKED IN RUST PREVENTING. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE THING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE MIGHT JUST SNAP IN HALF OR WORSE IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IT COULD JUST CRUMPLE LIKE A TIN CAN. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. OTHERS HAVE SAID THEIR FRAME COMPLETELY SEPERATED IN HALF ON THE ROAD. THIS COULD KILL PEOPLE. THE PICTURE I PROVIDED IS OLD NOW THE WHOLE HAS WIDENED QUITE A BIT. I HOPE A RECALL HAPPENS SOON OTHERWISE IMNA HAVE TO PATCH IT.
