I will never buy another Toyota. This defect almost killed my wife, children, and myself. Toyota is taking no responsibility. This should be recalled before people are killed.

Frame tail on passenger side has a big hole and there is a big hole by the motor mount.

Rust is severe on entire frame and suspension parts. The right rear upper control arm bracket broke off due to the rust weakening it to the point of failure. The vehicle is know un-driveable. I almost lost control of the vehicle when it failed. Very dangerous!!

THIS IS A 2004 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER WITH 9800 MILES ON IT. A MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON THE BRAKES WHEN HE SEEN THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTING AWAY. IT'S REAL BAD!!! I HAVE A 2000 SILVERADO WITH MORE MILES USED IN THE SAME AREA, FRAME IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION!! TOYOTA NEEDS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M RETIRED ON LOW INCOME CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR OR FIX THIS ONE BECAUSE TOYOTA SCREWED UP. SEEN ON THE INTERNET A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ANY INFO ON THIS PROBLEM.THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

15mm hole starting to form on right side frame rail where the two frame rails meet together. Looks like the frame is rusting from the inside out.

Toyota replaced rusted frames on their Tacoma's but not the 4runners. They should replace our frames or gives us market value for our unsafe trucks.
