Frame rusting and i have rust holes in frame

The BODY
2000 Toyota 4Runner

Frame is really rusting bad as is the case with 100s of other 4runners. t4r.org will show hundred upon hundreds of complaints of this. my truck only has 99k miles and the frame is almost completely wrecked. this has been an issue on these trucks for years and nothing has been done. please look into this it's a huge safety issue!

The BODY
2003 Toyota 4Runner

The frame is rotting and cracking. it was bought brand new and has been used for short commutes. it is now unsafe for me and my kids.

The BODY
2004 Toyota 4Runner

the frame of my family's 2004 toyota 4runner is badly corroded, with only 120k miles on it. it did not pass a recent inspection and is unsafe to drive. two different mechanics told me that if we hit a hard bump, the frame could split. there is an investigation, but toyota needs to recall these cars and fix them, or replace them. i can't afford to junk the car and buy a new one, but i can't drive my young children in it either. thank you.

The BODY
2003 Toyota 4Runner

There is extensive rust damage on the frame towards where the transmission connects to the engine. in 1-2 years, my 4runner will need frame repairs, if not sooner.

The BODY
2004 Toyota 4Runner

Frame is severely rusting. holes present which had to be patched numerous times for it to pass inspection. if something is not done soon, i will be forced to get rid of the vehicle because of safety concerns and it not being able to pass pa inspection. this has to be addressed now. for years, toyota dealerships have been supposedly taking pictures and sending them to toyota. they know it is a problem and nothing is being done about it!

The BODY
2003 Toyota 4Runner

While my 2003 toyota 4runner was in a service appointment, i was notified that the frame has severely deteriorated due to corrosion and rust. i was able to inspect and document the corrosion with photographs. the vehicle will soon become unsafe to operate or drive.

The BODY
2006 Toyota 4Runner

I bought my 4runner new and have taken meticulous care of it via the dealership i bought it from, doing an oil change every 5000 miles. now they tell me the truck should not be driven since the frame has rusted through in the rear. the trucks maintenance was done at prestige toyota mahesh nj 201-669-4525 service manager is robert j teunisen
