    I have a 2003 4 runner with only 102375 miles and the rims are crumbling away like chalk. These should not do this, it has to be defective materials and should be recalled before someone is hurt or worse. Toyota is aware of this problem and will be responsible and they need to recall and fix their mistake.

    Like everyone else the frame is just rotten through and through in the back, i have a tundra, 2 sequoia's, a highlander and a rav4. Ranging from 2001 to 2015, and the frame on the 01 sequoia looks new, this is a bad frame and gabe at keith pierson toyota in jacksonville said there is nothing i can do about it. Toyota needs to fess up to this one.
