June 18, 2020, I purchased my 2005 lexus lx 470 from a dealer ship located at maryland. There was no indication of rotting frame. When I received my vehicle, I looked under it and knotice there was really bad rust on the frame. I touched and and my finger poked through it. I tried call the dealer right away, but unfortunately they were closing and said I had to call back monday 6/22/2020. I have kids and the frame is unsafe for me to drive it. I looked up frame recalls online but there was non. But there was plenty of complaints about the frame rust.
