My 2000 toyota 4runner with 180,000 miles on the car, has abundant amount of rust. being a daily driver it is near the point that it is unsafe to drive. the frame is completely rotted. deemed unsafe to drive any further. as a solid running car, it would be a waste of money to junk the car.
The entire frame of my toyota has rusted and is becoming unsafe. there are giant holes in the frame where rust has eaten it away. the rest of the 4runner is perfectly brand new and fine. i am worried that the frame will break at any moment causing catastrophic failure. i called toyota and they would not replace frame or help in anyway. the frame needs to be recalled and replaced by toyota. it is a known issue on most of their trucks from the 2000s. they just haven't been forced to recall this model/year. please help!
Frame is rotting from the inside out. very little visible corrosion, and all of the sudden larhe sections of missing steel. this vehicle only has 157,600 miles, and should have lasted to 300,000, as it is mechanically solid. i think the tundra, tacoma, and sequoia recall, should have added the 4runner. but toyota would not have been able to blame the dana corporation. toyota was of no help, when they were notified, as i expected. i guess they have to wait for fatalities to begin. this is the last part of the vehicle that should fail!.
Frame is rotting away on a vehicle with 158,646 miles. toyota has been aware of this issue for years, yet no recall for the 4runner 's. what will it take , a death, because of a frame failure?
Frame on both my 2000 4runners is rotting out both bodies are in perfect shape cant wait to sue toyota when they fail .

Frame has rotted through and caused the bar from axle to frame to break at the frame. this happened while i was driving causing the car to sway seriously. i was able to pull off the road preventing a possible accident.
