Toyota has a a buy back program with tundra pickups that have frames that are safety hazards. Having a rusted out body is a appearance issue not a safety related issue as in the 3rd generation toyota 4runner that reside in the upper midwest. i have a 95 blazer that was purchased six months before the 4runner and i still have it! the body on the blazer is literally rusted everywhere however,the integrity of the frame is still solidĬonversely, the body on the 4runner is excellent especially for the year,

this is a main frame component, if the support bracket break free it allows the axle to wander around as it's not being held in place, causing loss of steering stability, it is a road hazard that is eventually going to kill people. It came to my attention when i was hearing and reading stories of these 3rd generation 4runners have stability problems directly related to the rusted out frame support brackets that hold the control arms in place for the rear axle. i am a certified mechanic who performs safety inspections as i work for engineering university. The 4runner has never been in a accident. The vehicle was purchased new by my father in 96, always garage kept ,in 2006 i bought the vehicle from him and also is kept in a dry garage not sitting out over moist soil. this particular vehicle the control arm support brackets are showing signs of rust through with holesĪppearing in the brackets. Known documented issues with toyota 4runner frame rot. i am uploading the results of the independent assessment stating their findings and showing pictures of what has happened. however, the vehicle was not safe to drive due to the separation from the frame after this. i was fortunate that no one was injured or hit in the incident.
the vehicle completely spun around and i ended up in the emergency lane facing head on at oncoming traffic. this water went across all three lanes and no one else experienced anything like i did. i crossed an area that had standing water (not deep by any means mind you) and the rear end completely shifted out to the right of me and caused me to spin. The occurrence happened when i was traveling on an interstate at approximately 65 miles per hour. My vehicle only had approximately 137,000 miles at the time of the incidence. i made a personal call to toyota customer care and was told that they logged my complaint but that they would not cover any claims herein to help in fixing the issue. the independent research company pointed to numerous known reporting's on the internet as a common occurrence of this vehicle.

the cracking was due to what an independent research company stating that the right-rear frame rail cracked and separated from the frame due to excessive rusting. My 1996 toyota 4runner suffers from excessive rust that caused me to be have a horrible loss of vehicle control due to the frame excessively cracking.
