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.

Front passenger side glass "exploded" while driving on the interstate in Montana. There were no other vehicles in the area of our Toyota when the glass broke. Nothing such as a bird or rock struck the glass it simply shattered! driver and passenger cut by flying glass, but not badly injured.
