Vehicle would not pass new york state inspection. the vehicle was inspected twice. once by a national auto chain, and by a toyota dealer. the reason for failure in both cases was, rusted cracked frame rails. the dealer gave a verbal estimate for repair of $21,500. ($12,250 parts $12,250 labor)

I'm writing you today in the hopes that you can investigate and create a recall for toyota's x-reas suspension system. i purchased a brand new 2015 limited 4runner four years ago. on november 29th, 2019 i had my 4runner serviced at a toyota service center for a 40,000 mile check up. after the check up i was told that both front struts needed to be replaced and due to the design (both front struts being connected to both rear shocks) the entire x-reas suspension system needed to be replaced. (total cost before realignment and tax = $2,468.00.) x-reas comes standard on the limited toyota 4runner and is a hydraulic system that cannot be serviced. the x-reas system on my 4runner started leaking with only 38,977 miles of city and freeway driving with absolutely no off roading. i feel that this is incredibly premature and a defective design for a suspension that is supposedly built to withstand rugged off roading. after doing some research online, i have found that i am not the only one that has been faced with x-reas suspension system problems. the following link is a 4runner forum with truck owners searching for advice and ...
The frame is rusted away but the body is perfect. purchased as is. was not informed in writing about the bad frame
My vehicle failed inspection due to a hole in the frame. my vehicle has the same frame as the tacoma trucks that have frame rot and have already been recalled.
