2006 Toyota 4RUNNER Other or unknown Problems

“Major frame rust. The body is still great but when you look underneath it's a different story. I can flake off pieces of the frame with my finger. My mechanic says it may only have a couple of years left. I will have to take it to a dealership to get their opinion on the matter.”

“Vehicle frame is rusting faster than normal. Have had to replace many suspension parts, welded front alignment tabs to keep vehicle in line, replaced vehicle suspension but unsure how long this will last due to frame still flaking. Toyota dealer states that the rust is severe and when I had my rear upper control arms replaced, stated that the mount bracket was very thin and causing movement in the rear of my vehicle.”

“The frame of my 4RUNNER is excessively rusted and corroded. It is flaking off in big pieces from the outside of the frame as well as the inside of the frame. In a couple of locations, it has corroded so much that there is a 1.5 diameter hole in the frame. Other areas that are very important structurally and for suspension, has severe rust and I'm worried that those areas will crack and cause me to lose control while driving.”

“I was driving down the highway using my rear defroster when my back window shattered without cause, it sounded like a gunshot. The shock caused me and the driver behind me to both swerve almost causing two wrecks.”

“While I was I driving on the highway, the rear window exploded while I was using the rear window defroster. I smelled a burning smell just prior to it exploding glass all over the back cargo area”
