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 have always kept my 4runner well washed and waxed thru the years I've owned it. I bought it new and last july I 2013 I noticed the paint starting to peel. I showed it to a paint shop and he estimated a complete paint job for around 7,000 dollars. I think Toyota should come up with a solution to fix it. Up until now I am happy with how the car has run and looked but am now reluctant to purchasing another 4runner.
