Differential Unit problem #1

From acceleration; between 30mph and 45mph my vehicle shudders and shakes. I believe the issue is coming from the transmission and or differential of my vehicle.

Power Train problem #2

I purchased my beloved 2013 Fj Cruiser from wellesley Toyota 6. 5 years ago and have really enjoyed it. I have had it serviced religiously at mcgee Toyota of hanover since my purchase and expected to continue to enjoy it for many years to come and was just informed by mcgee Toyota that the frame is severly rusted out throughout. My truck only has 158k miles on it and I expected this to last at least twice as long. This appears to be the same issue Toyota experienced with the tundra and tacoma with premature rusting on their vehicles due to a manufacturing issue. There are numerous complaints online about this issue and even a current class action lawsuit. I have alerted Toyota corporate of this and they are not standing behind their product.
