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 cannot believe that at only 86,000 miles on a vehicle this expensive, the wheel bearing is shot. We purchased the 4 runner expecting many years of worry free use, since we are on a fixed income. In 13 months your vehicle has cost us almost $3000 and only brake calipers were covered under warranty. How convenient for your company. We are looking at other brands tomorrow and getting rid of this vehicle and will not ever purchase a Toyota again. We also will not deal with the dealer where we purchased it since they are doing all the repairs which is 45 miles away, requiring us to make multiple trips at great cost and inconvenience I will also be posting my complaints on this vehicle in other car consumer sites.
