Takata recall this year the exact same frames were replaced on the toyota tacoma. My frame and cross members are rusted out on the front end and this has been garage kept and only has 92k miles. My 4runner should not hsve this much rust on the frame, after it has been meticulously taken care of.

There is also a loud whining noise when applying the brakes. They tell me this is normal also ! Also, the tires had to be rebalanced at 13k as i was told…
