OP, there is currently an NHTSA investigation into all this rust stuff as well as a (lol) class action lawsuit that was filed last December timeframe by a firm out of Charleston. We will see how all that goes. I’m not one for handouts but I have a rusted 4runner I bought used and like a dipshit didn’t inspect well enough and now I’m stuck with it. Which is a shame as it’s spent all its life in Virginia so shouldn’t have had the issues it does. If Toyota starts giving out frames then it will get to live til the engine gives out.

The problem is finding someone reputable to fix it. When I was shopping around to get my frame patched with a SafeTCap I must’ve called 10 shops that declined the second I mentioned rust.
Ended up going through SafeTCap website of certified installers to find someone (which I should’ve done at the start)
OP might want to do the same as at least that gives some more options of shops that do in fact work with rust rather than run of the mill body shops who write it off.
