My Toyota fj cruiser has frame rot issues. Will not pass an inspection because of the frame rot problem.my Toyota has less than 79000 miles on it and looks to be in excellent condition on the interior and exterior. Toyota knows about the problem and refuses to take responsibility for it.Is there anything I can do about it.. Got a verbal quote to replace ( it's gonna cost about 9500 to repair ) could be more after they start to replace and if they find more problems.

June 19, 2016 my wife stopped the vehicle at the top of our driveway, which has a slight decline to the front of our house. She left it running, put it in park, put the emergency brake on. She got out of the vehicle, walked back down to the house and back up, the vehicle took off down the driveway, running into the house. The vehicle bounced back from the house about 10-12 feet. It was still running, with the emergency brake still on, but the gear shift was now in reverse. My wife then turned the engine off, where the vehicle sat for about 5 days. The front end of the vehicle had to be replaced, and the wall into the house had to be rebuilt. $10,000 repair to the vehicle, $16,000 to the house. Toyota sent an engineer to review the damage and pull edr readings. He stated that the emergency brake was working properly, the gear shift was working properly, and that he could not duplicate the issue (even though the engine could not run at that time). He also stated that he could not pull any readings from the edr. Toyota was not easy to work with, and their communication with me left a lot to be desired.
