Body problem #1

I have purchased this vehicle from the dealer at prestige Toyota in ramsey NJ 2002- it was a certified dealer car. I have maintained my car and it still rides well, until about 2 weeks ago I felt the back of the car while driving 65mile hr highway that was curvy,felt like I was going to go out of control and it's never done that before. I took it to Toyota June 8th 2023 to get an oil change, and mechanic said my rear stable bar is missing due to excessive rot and the entire frame is rotted out and is not safe to drive, I am spending $1800. 00 to get the ac recharged and rear brakes done. Come to find out that Toyota had recalls on the tundra and sequoia but if they used the same frame, why did they not recommend a fix before this happened, thousands of dollars later. I am not ready to give up my car, I have taken it there many times now my car is unsafe to drive. I am very upset and not ready to put out money for a new car. Https://app. Mykaarma.

Door problem #2

Car was new when I picked up at dealer. Have been back with driver door window problem over six times. At this time the window seal is loose and the window will not close. It is sad to pay 56k and still can't get things fixed. . . Security is a safety problem and I have it.
