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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have purchased it. I have been told that there are not any recalls or tbs's on the 4runner for that problem. Today(2/24/10) I find online a tbs for the problem that I have. I called a dealer and he said that since I have over 80K on the truck, that I would have to pay for it. This is not fair and I should not have to pay for it. Your people have told me several times that there was nothing that could be done about the smell. From what I have read online there are several others in the same situation that I am in. Tsb no. EG00303.
