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.

The whole area of exposed steel has been so corroded with rust that I acnnot even remove bolts to service several of the key components in the engine compartment. The frame, cross members, suspension etc. Are also affected in this way.I'm no expert but it is progressively becoming more and more unsafe to drive especially if I lose brakes or some other necessary function. Please help, is this a bad batch of cheap steel?

Exhaust manifolds on the 4.7 V8 crack where the catalytic converter is welded to the exhaust manifold, causing exhaust leaks. This is a very expensive repair for the owner of the vehicle.
