NHTSA Complaint #11425175 — 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

The frame on my 4Runner is severely rusted out; it is available to be inspected if requested. When I'm driving, the vehicle is potentially unstable due to frame rot which could cause potentially life threating injuries to myself, my passengers, and others on the road. The problem has been confirmed by JR Autohaus in Woburn MA. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer/police/or insurance companies. There was no prior indication of an issue; it appeared when the vehicle was put on a lift to have a new exhaust put on: the vehicle was creaking and was dangerous to be on the lift for the technician. He inspected the frame and took pictures of the rust damage. The issue was discovered on 3/23/21
