RECENTLY LOOKED AT 2007 TOYOTA 4RUNNER LIMITED V8 FOR SALE TO REPLACE MY 2005 LIMITED THAT HAS SEVERE FRAME CORROSION AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS VEHICLE TOO HAS NEARLY THE EXACT SAME CORROSION ISSUES. THE REAR OF THE FRAME BY THE BUMPER, WHERE THE CONTROL ARMS AND RADIATOR ARE ATTACHED TO THE CHASSIS AND FRAME RAILS ARE SO BADLY CORRODED YOU CAN PUSH YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE METAL. HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE DOES NHTSA NEED TO DEMAND TOYOTA RECALL THESE VEHICLES? LOOK AT THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA AND THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ONLINE POSTING PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THEIR VEHICLES RUST ISSUES. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES CORRODING JUST LIKE THE OTHER TOYOTA BODY ON FRAME PRODUCTS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR FRAME REPLACEMENTS. WE OWN TRUCKS 30-40 YEARS OLD AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS EVER HAD A FRAME RUST THROUGH TO THE POINT YOU CAN LITERALLY POKE HOLES IN IT WITH YOUR FINGER.

THE BATTERY DIED UNEXPECTEDLY (ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD) AND WHEN WE REPLACED IT AND TRIED TO DRIVE IT, THERE WAS A LOUD CONTINUOUS BEEP FROM THE DASH AND NO BRAKES. WE REPLACED THE ABS FUSE, WHICH BLEW AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND IT WAS CONFIRMED IT WAS THE BRAKE MODULE. THIS EXACT ISSUE JUST HAPPENED WITH OUR 2013 CAMRY AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR. WE COULD HAVE DIED.
