What owners wrote
In miami, fl. At intersection of waterway drive and sw. 72 ave. Made left turn under rain, (all day raining) I lost control of the vehicle after turn. Came to a stand still and momentarily, I accelerated towards a tree aprox. 15 feet away, vehicle crashed against tree so severely that passenger side of frame bent bad (declared total lost by state farm insurance). Air bag did not deploy.
I own a 2005 toyota 4runner. The frame is rusting so severely that it may not pass inspection next year at this time. I live in pa. I have heard that toyota has acknowledged that they have had frame issues with the tacoma (same chasis), the early tundras (I own a recalled 2000 with same issue), sequoias (same chasis as tundra...... Please tell me that the will recall my 4runner. I love the vehicle but the rust on the frame will kill it.
