I purchased this truck only 20 days ago. I was so excited because I have only heard great things about 4Runners and my family has been loyal to Toyota for years. The truck seemed immaculate when I bought it. Engine runs great, low miles, interior is immaculate. I noticed after about its 3rd drive it was starting to sway when I let off the accelerator on the highway. Took it to Toyota and they deemed it unsafe to drive due to the frame being entirely rotted out. Oh and there is no fix to the issue. I was devastated as I had just dumped half of my savings into buying this truck private party.
Now that I've done my research and found out that this is extremely common in 3rd gen 4Runners I am trying to do my part by submitting this complaint. This should absolutely be recalled and covered by Toyota seeing as how they have recalled the exact same thing in their other models such as the Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia.
