Takata recall, i took my 2005 toyota 4runner sr5 to a toyota dealership today to get a tire rotation. they told me my frame was too rusted out to lift up for fear of harming my car. i had new tires put on at the same dealership in october and then new trd wheels installed at another dealership where not a single mechanic mentioned rust on my frame. apparently it's my rear passenger side that has it the worst.
I took my 4-runner to my mechanic on april 1, 2019 to have the brakes checked and a cv boot repaired. my mechanic called me the next day and informed me that the main support beam of the frame on the passenger side was rusted out and virtually missing on 3 of the 4 sides of the beam. he told me the vehicle could break in half if i hit a bump on the road.
2005 toyota 4runner sr5 was taken into a certified toyota mechanic for inspection and the mechanic showed me the undercarriage of the vehicle, namely the frame and other associated parts. he warned that it would be difficult to perform maintenance on the vehicle if the frame is rotted through. the vehicle was put on a lift for inspection.
The frame is rusted out at the rear and at the radiator support and at the rear stabilizer on both sides and the rear bumper is rusted into on both sides of the frame in my opinion it is unsafe to use. my wife had a close call when the rear stabilizer broke the from the frame on both sides
Severe frame and front end rust, vehicle well taken care of> should have been part of tacoma recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toyota dealer failed safety inspection due to rear suspension arm rusted off and a hole rusted through frame. only has 124,000 miles. toyota said that vehicle is unsafe to drive and rear end may lift during a hard stop. rear brake lines are also rusted out.
Frame and suspension mounting points rusted out causing a suspension mounting bracket failure.vehicle was pulling away from stop.
The frame rusted through at the connecting point of the rear passenger side trailing arm. much of the frame in this area is severely rotted by rust. i noticed that the vehicle was not tracking down the road very well, which was abnormal. upon returning home i found the problem of the rusted frame.
Inferior, steel, rusted frame and suspension, too dangerous to drive. consumer stated my truck is back on shop with stetler dodge they are ripping it apart.*jb
