MY 2000 4RUNNER ONLY HAS 123K MILS ON IT AND THE FRAME IS SO RUSTED IT MIGHT BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I TRIED TO GET NEW SHOCKS ON IT AND WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T DUE TO THE BAD RUST. THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS IN PERFECT CONDITION!

THE FRAME OF MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED- TO THE POINT WHERE PARTS OF IT ARE BREAKING OFF. THE REST OF THE BODY/ENGINE ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 3RD GENERATION TOYTOA 4RUNNERS (YEARS 1998-2002). TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE 1998-2002 TACOMA FRAMES WHICH ARE IDENTICAL TO THE 4RUNNER. THE CAR IN UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TOYOTA WILL TAKE NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM.
