The frame is rusting out. The vehicle and steering shake excessively. It increases with speed and feels as if the suspension is braking or the wheels are coming off. Feels unsafe to drive. Has been this way since I purchased the car. Has gotten progressively worse.

Rear frame cross memeber that also supports a bolt on hitch receiver and attaches to each of the vehicles side rails, that run the length of the vehicle is rusting. I have found several 1/4 inch rust created separations (holes) in the steel with surface rust crating future failues.

Toyota high lander, 2011. The power liftgate arm on the real trunk is detached from the liftgate. It looked to me as if the screw became stripped and came out of the hole. And they said it isn't covered and they will charge to the owner and it costs around $3500, please investigate this case and how it detached from the body.
