Consumer Description

2005 TOYOTA 4RUNNER BEEN PLAGUED WITH FRAME RUST ISSUES AND RECENTLY A STABILIZER BRACKET BROKE WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE FRAME IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH IN THAT AREA AND NUMEROUS OTHER AREAS. THANKFULLY MY SON WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BECAUSE IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! WHY IS TOYOTA HANDLING FRAME RUST ISSUES WITH OTHER MODELS LIKE TACOMA BUT NOT THE 4RUNNER?
