| While changing the converter on my 1999 rav4, we discovered holes and extreme rusting on the front cross member. if this cross member breaks the whole suspension could drop out fo the car and cause serious injury. it is no secret that toyota has many problems with frame rot on other vehicles occuring on similar yeared models. the problem has not been fixed and after a little investigating myself, i have discovered a dozen other rav4 owners with the same problem. i contacted toyota corp. and was told my case was the only of its kind by them. after talking to dealers in my area i found that this problem is occuring and being seen by toyota dealers as well. | |||
