In my own words, I have a 2008 toyota 4runner 4x4 with only 27,000 original miles and the chassis is completely rusted thru, with huge big holes on the chassis. Toyota used some very cheap metal and didn't spray any chassis pretection from rust. The rear driver side shock mount rusted completely that the shock fell off while I was driving, now there is no mount for the shock now. I almost lost control on a curve that was a little bumpy, as I passed the curve my 4runner felt like the back kept sliding, I felt like it was almost about to flip over. There are recalls for all other toyota SUV but not for toyota 4runner what's the difference if they used the same metal to make the chassis. My chassis is even more rusted on the front passenger side where the air conditioner has a small drip rubber tube where the air conditioner drops any AC condensation. I don't feel safe driving my 2008 4runner but it only has less than 27,000 original miles... Can you. Relive that. I even have pictures and videos to prove it. Smh and I really like my 4runner.

Heavy corrosion caused the rear torsion bar to disconnect from the rear end while I was driving in oct. 2015. The frame and front end suspension is now very corroded. You can put your fingers through the bottom of the frame just in front of the rear wheels. This vehicle only has 69,400 miles on it.

Frame is extremely rusted and toyota needs to address this problem. I also have various small pin point rust spots all over the 4runner on the paint.

There is corrosion in the frame and drive-train components. There is pitting, rusting throughout the frame undercarriage and the suspension and differential components. This barely 4yr old vehicle is a southern vehicle. Regardless, this corrosion is a safety issue in any vehicle let alone in a 4runner with a service inception date of 11/30/2008 with 19k miles. This is totally irresponsible of the manufacturer and they claim it is not covered by warranty. Yes, it (should be) covered by warranty and more importantly it is manufacturer's liability to correct safety/quality issue.
