Upon a normal maintenance on the front brakes my mechanic found that the front frame was rusted to a dangerous level. I will have to have plates welded onto the frame to make it safe to drive. This should not happen on a vehicle that is only 11 years old and carefully maintained. The vehicle is a 1999 Toyota 4 runner.
