Mechanic reports that the truck poses a serious safety risk and that the problem was found just in time to avoid a major accident.

I have 2000 toyota tundra sr5 4x4 access cab that over the last few years is showing rapid amounts of rust on the frame especially around the welds and hubs. This truck is only in the 90,000 miles range and besides the rust is in very good condition. I have kept up with the maintenance and have records. But it will do me no good if this continues to rust at such a rapid pace that it has thus far. *tr
