Who else has their frame rotting on their 4runner? Have you had any success in having it remedied by toyota?
Thanks,

We've replaced the cats along with the O2 and AF sensors 3 times already - first was expensive as heck, OEM, and went out while under a 2-year warranty, was replaced with an aftermarket set to save $ but we had to pay labor. That set went out a year and a month later. We again replaced and again, they went out a year later in late 2010. Our mechanic replaced the sensors and blew out the system and got the check engine light off long enough for us to get to emissions and pass and then believe it or not - the light came back on, on the way home.
Meanwhile the check engine bulb must have burned out recently, it's been on so long, so even though the light's out I know we've got to address the cats again as it is annual emission time once more. We can't afford this every year, the state could care less about the financial burden, and we'd like to keep the vehicle (can't sell anyway without an emission sticker in-state). Why is the cat going out every year when we're replacing the sensors and keeping up with tuneups and maintenance? We've had a nasty sulphur smell too the last year. (I read that thread btw).
We misplaced ours too -- must have left it at a carwash or campground or something.

lately i can be driving around with several stops and starts. Randomly when I get back to the vehicle after opening the door with remote / keyless, there is no power to anything, including the ignition, radio, door locks etc. So far, after about 20 minutes, it starts and works for hours or days without doing the same thing then it will happen again.
I am thinking that it is either a malfunction in the remote/ security system or in the ignition switch. Any body have anything similar?
