Consumer Description
EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. OUR 4RUNNER HAS JUST PASSED THE 200K MILE MARK, BUT THE FRAME HAS BEEN RUSTING AT AN ALARMING RATE FOR YEARS NOW. LIVING IN AN AREA WITH SALTED WINTER ROADS, I HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT MINDFUL OF THIS (NOT PERFECT), BUT THE AMOUNT OF CORROSION SEEMS EXCESSIVE, EVEN IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. THERE HAS BEEN NO MOVING INCIDENT OR CRASH, BUT PARTS OF THE FRAME HAVE BEEN AFFECTED ENOUGH THAT I AM CURRENTLY HAVING TO ASSESS THE DRIVABILITY IN LIGHT OF SAFETY.
