CarComplaints.com Notes: Although it has a stellar record in terms of vehicle problems, initially the 4th generation (2003 - 2009) 4Runner didn't earn our top "Seal of Awesome" rating because it received poor crash test ratings for rear impacts. However it's proven to have one of the lowest driver death rates out of all vehicles (not just SUVs), so we've bumped it back up to our top award.

I spoke with Toyota Canada. Arthur said there is nothing head office will do because my 2005 4-Runner is 3x the milage and date. I responded: but Toyota brags that after 20 years there are sooo many Toyotas still on the road. I guess they don't care about a guy who was up to this point bragging about my awesome Toyota. Not now any longer. Boo... That's what hurts. When ever we got ready for a two month trip, I replaced all my fluids. I do mean all... I have all my records from day one when we purchased the new vehicle.
