NHTSA Complaint #11377913 — 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

TODAY I FAILED VEHICLE INSPECTION BECAUSE OF RUST AND DETERIORATION OF MY CHASSIS FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW, SELDOM DRIVEN IN ANY AREAS OF SALTED OR SANDED ROADS. IT WAS ALSO MOSTLY GARAGED EITHER AT WORK AND/OR AT HOME. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 175000 WHICH IS LOW CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THAT MANY TOYOTAS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND SOME MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS. IN SPITE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS THAT FORERUNNERS HAVE HAD, IT IS YET TO BE RECALLED....AND ALL RECALLS START AT 2005. MINE IS A 2004 AND THE FRAME IS FALLING APART. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WISH VEHICLES IN MY DEMOGRAPHICS WOULD BE CONSIDERED IN A NEW RECAL......
