MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAID FRAME IS BAD. FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND HAS MULTIPLE HOLES ON PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA IN BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK OF THIS AREA. IT ALSO HAS SEVERE RUST AND HOLES IN THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN THE SAME REAR AREA AND ABOVE THE GAS TANK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE FRAME.     SPOKE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE REPAIR CENTER REP AND INQUIRED ABOUT ANY RECALLS FOR RUSTED FRAME SUCH AS THE BUY BACK PROGRAM THAT TOYOTA HAD FOR THE TACOMA. I WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR BUY BACKS FOR THE 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5.    I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATION CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR BUY BACKS AT THIS TIME. I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYONE ELSE I COULD SPEAK TO IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT.  REP SAID THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME IF TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL. I TOLD THE REP WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO SINCE I WOULD HAVE TO SCRAP THE VEHICLE AND UNLESS TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS A RECALL WOULD NOT HELP ME IF I NO LONGER OWNED THE VEHICLE. I ALSO TOLD THE REP THAT THIS PLACED AN UNDUE ECONOMIC HARDSHIP ON ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE SINCE THE 4RUNNER WAS NO LONGER SAFE BECAUSE OF THE FRAME DAMAGE. HE  SYMPATHIZED WITH ME BUT SAID THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO FOR ME WAS FILE MY COMPLAINT AND ISSUE ME A CASE NUMBER.     SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF TOYOTA 4RUNNER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THE NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP IN AND MAKE TOYOTA ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE FAULTY FRAMES.  IT IS OBVIOUS THAT TOYOTA USED INFERIOR METAL TO MANUFACTURER THESE FRAMES AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE RUSTING OUT PREMATURELY.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"4RUNNER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
