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.

replace exhaust manifold due to faulty design (1 reports)
Numerous complaints have been posted on the Toyota forums about this faulty design of the exhaust. The only fix that I am aware of is to replace in kind with the same super costly Toyota exhaust manifold that WILL LEAK AGAIN, due to the faulty design. I am coming to realize that Toyota just doesn't care about it's customers, they take the attitude, "it's your problem not ours".
