Front Suspension Control Arm problems of the 2006 Toyota 4Runner

The frame is completely rusted with rusted out holes. Caused the driver side lower control arm to break off, almost causing my teenage son to crash fortunately he was on a side street and driving slow.

Rusted frame - while driving, the left front control arm broke free from the severely rusted frame. Thank god the driver was not injured. The repair will require welding to the frame to support a new control arm. This is unacceptable. Had this happened a highway speeds, this could have resulted in severe injury or death. Unacceptable! I have had it towed to a Toyota dealer but will not be conducting any repairs until Toyota's service manager responds to my questions regarding recalls on frames. The ntsb has a responsibility to review and if necessary, based on my analysis, extend the recall to these vehicles as well. Same frame as tacoma which is already recalled.

While traveling at about 45mph, the left rear control arm mount broke off the frame and almost caused myself, my wife, my 2 year old, and my 11 month old son to crash. I managed to get the vehicle stopped without any injuries. After inspection, the entire frame is rusted to the point im not comfortable with my wife and kids riding in this vehicle. Im now paying a car payment on a vehicle that is useless. I like Toyota's but will not likely purchase another one unless something is done to fix this problem. I have read multiple complaints online of this type of and yet nothing has been done to correct the problem. Please Toyota, do the right thing and fix this problem. We will be stuck with a car payment and a vehicle that is virtually unusable.

06 4runner same frame as recalled tacoma. Safety issue heavy rust on frame . Mechanic said to get rid of it, rotting where it connects to control arms. May not pass next inspection.

Vehicle frame is rusting faster than normal. Have had to replace many suspension parts, welded front alignment tabs to keep vehicle in line, replaced vehicle suspension but unsure how long this will last due to frame still flaking. Toyota dealer states that the rust is severe and when I had my rear upper control arms replaced, stated that the mount bracket was very thin and causing movement in the rear of my vehicle.
