A frame that holds engine in vehicle is rotted looks like swiss cheeze it should be made out of cast iron thats a safety issue.
The rear axle broke at the weld. Driving under normal spped and driving conditions, I noticed a strange rubbing sould coming from the rear of the vehicle after I got home I noticed the clearance on rear wheel at top was much less then other side, after taking to shop I was then informed of the cracked/broken axle. When I researched there were others who's car's had rear axle's that were breaking at the welds around the same years 2007-2009 this could be a potentially deadly.
I took my car in to the Toyota dealership in longview washington and pretty much they were supposed to replace both airbags and they only replace one and then said that OH we don't know why the airbag lights not going off when I do believe that the passenger side needs to be replaced to also I was told by the Toyota dealership in bremerton that if my friend and started clicking to take it in and there was a recall for that too so and it starts leaking after I had it in there so I think I need to check it out and they're not doing it please contact me at the fishingmccloud@gmail.
