problem #3

4Runner

  • 109,345 miles
Rust! frame is rusting severely. Its looks to be a matter of time before something major fails on the frame. Most recently, the heat shield above the catalytic convertor rusted off and fell from the moving vehicle. The mounting bolts had rusted to nothing allowing the heat shield to become loose and eventually fall off.

My Toyota 4runner, 2005 was speeding and I couldn't control to stop it. Finally I managed to steer and hit the median of the highway and it stopped. There was a damage to my car and injury. I contacted Toyota about the accident but they are not fully cooperating to inspect and fix my car.
