TAMARA RECALL.. MY FRAME ON MY 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER IS ROTTING OUT WHERE THE BACK FRONT SPRING HANGERS SUSPENSION MOUNTS TO THE FRAME. ALSO THE FRAME RAILS ARE ROTTED OUT ON THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME AND IS SOON TO BE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVEN. NOTICED WHEN LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY LIKE MY 4RUNNER BUT I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I WOULD BE AFRAID TO LET BE RIDING IN IT IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO WORSEN!! SO IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE PARKED

FRAME IS ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. VERY LITTLE VISIBLE CORROSION, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN LARHE SECTIONS OF MISSING STEEL. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 157,600 MILES, AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED TO 300,000, AS IT IS MECHANICALLY SOLID. I THINK THE TUNDRA, TACOMA, AND SEQUOIA RECALL, SHOULD HAVE ADDED THE 4RUNNER.

FRAME IS ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. VERY LITTLE VISIBLE CORROSION, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN LARHE SECTIONS OF MISSING STEEL. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 157,600 MILES, AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED TO 300,000, AS IT IS MECHANICALLY SOLID. I THINK THE TUNDRA, TACOMA, AND SEQUOIA RECALL, SHOULD HAVE ADDED THE 4RUNNER. BUT TOYOTA WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BLAME THE DANA CORPORATION. TOYOTA WAS OF NO HELP, WHEN THEY WERE NOTIFIED, AS I EXPECTED. I GUESS THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR FATALITIES TO BEGIN. THIS IS THE LAST PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT SHOULD FAIL!.
