NHTSA complaint #10370883, filed 2010-12, 144,000 miles“My 2000 Toyota landcruiser has experience excessive undercarriage rust similar to the tundra models reported.

When we tried to apply the emergency brake, it did not stop the vehicle since it had rusted through as well and was inoperable. Fortunately we were not driving fast as we would have no way to stop the vehicle from crashing.”
