Hi, i own a 2005 4runner and i am concerned about the heavy amount of rusting on the frame. the frame is rusty which is causing heavy flaking of the affected material. the body of the vehicle is pristine but i fear that the premature rusting of the frame will affect the ability to safely drive my 4runner in the future. i am a special education teacher with two young daughters and don't have the income to go out and replace the frame or buy a new vehicle. this 4runner is the only vehicle i own and is my daily driver. my students and their guardians depend on me to arrive safely to school everyday so there is consistency in my students' lives. i have seen many 4runners in this age range suffer from this same corrosion. i am concerned that my family will be injured in a minor accident or the vehicle's safety mechanisms failing because of frame damage. i am also concerned that i will lose my only means of transporting myself to work. i am a huge fan of toyota, especially 4runners, and want to keep mine around ...

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.

Frame rust: the amount of rust is substantial. i have older toyota vehicles with the frames is much better condition. i am meticulous when it comes to maintaining and detailing my vehicles. i thoroughly hose down the underside of my 4runner after long drives to drive to preserve the frame, though i feel as if it is too late. i also have a 2010 tacoma that the frame was serviced at no cost to me. i am a loyal toyota customer and would love to maintain my 4runner and keep it on road for many more years.

Excessive frame rust. has had excessive decomposition and rotting in the very front for several years. now noticing rot with large holes near critical structural support near rear axle, spring and shock attachment points. took to local welding shop to see about patching the area near the rear axle and was advised to stop driving the vehicle soon as the frame's integrity is at risk. i am the original owner. well taken care of vehicle, always garaged and routinely washed.
