• OR-TOY021: 1998-2009 Toyota 4Runner Sequoia / 4-Button Keyless Entry Remote / PN: 89742-35020 / HYQ1512Y (OEM Refurb)
  FCC ID: HYQ1512Y

Over the years of ownership, my vehicle has been overwhelmed with rust issues. All four axles are rusted to include the brake components. I didn't realize how bad the rusting was until i heard "popping" noise when making turns the rear suspension sway bar link was rusted so bad, it broke free. I had the rack and pinion replaced in august of 2020 because rust ate through the lines. The frame appears to have separations due to rust as well.

Right rear chassis rusted out

Driving eastbound into portland (or) on hwy.26 (sunset hwy.), three lanes inbound. Three lanes inbound, i was in the right lane.As we neared the tunnels, traffic stopped bumper-to-bumper, as it often does. I stopped, leaving a small buffer between my vehicle and the one ahead of me, and watched the red mazda cx-5 approaching behind, not slowing, and braced for the bump. Bam! It was a serious jolt. We pulled off onto the shoulder. Traffic was busy, so it took a while to get out to inspect damage. I was expecting more than i found, and actually noticed no damage at the time. The mazda that had rear-ended me sustained some serious cosmetic damage, but was still driveable. We traded info, and i headed on to mt.Hood to ski. A couple of days later, i noticed that my drivers seat was a bit wobbly. When i got a chance to check the cause,i found that the front left bolt holding the seat was loose.I tightened it back down.,but it came loose again after the embedded nut came loose from the frame. A google search revealed a pleathora of 4runner and tacoma owners encountering similar failures.To fix, i drilled a 1/2" hole through the bolt hole and through the bottom of the frame chamber, ran a 4"x1/2" steel bolt through the hole, fastened with a large washer, lock washer, and nut, some thread-lock, and slathered on the black silicone rtv. All done. Seems just fine, now. Cbs news did a story on their morning show last thursday, regarding dangers of similar seat failures in hondas, i believe. I'm surprised that these companies have not done recalls on these design failures,already.

My frame is rusted almost to pieces. I know this is a common problem with 4runner of the same year models. And i hope to get a recall because it's putting me and others at risk of wrecking the car and possible injuries.

My vehicle is very clean and well maintained and had no indication of trouble or handling issues. A repair shop was taking it back to fix an exhaust problem when he nearly lost control. I couldn't believe it when he notified me it was unsafe to drive, but found out that one section of the frame had totally rusted through where the axle link mounts to the frame. It could have torn the axle out from under the vehicle with no previous warning. I had been driving on 4 lane interstate at 70 just days before with no handling issues at all. I personally have changed the oil and greased the drive train all but once over the past five years and not noticed this small area of severe rust through. I have also spent over $3000 on exhaust, tires, and maintenance repair over the past year because i thought it was worthy of 5-10 more years and 100,000 more miles. My 2001 camry is driven by my son now and has approximately 390,000 miles on it. I just sold my 1994 jeep cherokee with over 300,000 miles on it and this 4runner body is in much better condition than those and that was why i expected this would too. This is definitely a weak spot hard to detect because myself and 3 other mechanic places had not seen it when servicing it but yet it is also a very critical function that can cause complete loss of control when the left side of the axle is torn loose and out from the vehicle. Head-on collisions, rollovers, etc are very likely. Therefore, i believe that this warning must be made known to other drivers of these 4runners and a recall to replace the frame as needed just like toyota has done for other trucks of theirs, i.E. Tundra, sequoia, tacoma with full frame like this. Thank you for your consideration of this for protection of our public.I have plenty more photos of the vehicle that i can share to substantiate the soundness of the rest of the vehicle or bad spot rusting.

I heard rubbing noises from my left front wheel.I thought brakes but when i inspected the underside of my vehicle i noticed that the rubbing was coming from a rusted and broken off brake shield.I am older with back issues so getting under the car for a good look m is tough at best.What i could see using a rigid seesnake boroscope was extensive rust .Rust all over key structural frame components from motor mounts to steering linkage the chassis in some areas has completely disappeared.Looking at the body you would think the car was in really good shape but not underneath.Toyota didn't have 4runners as part of their recall but they should have as the 4runner uses the same truck chassis as the tacomas .I need this truck and i need it to be safe.Thanks for listening
