Check engine light comes on so I take my 2002 4 runner to get it checked. I noticed it sounds like it might be a exhaust problem. Then I get the bad news . The frame experience excessive corrosion. My understanding is that there was some kind of recall on this matter a few years ago but I never received a notice .I purchased it used in 2003 so maybe the notice went to the first owner. I have been living at the same address since I owned it.
