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 took my 2005 Toyota in for state inspection today. I never imagined it would fail inspection because the frame and brakes are rusted. The guy behind the counter said they could fix it. I said how much? Someone in the background says no we don't fix that. That to me was not a good sign. He said I'd have to take it to a dealer to have it repaired. Again that doesn't sound any better. At this time I haven't a clue what I'm going to do Over the years I have put major money into this 4runner. If I trade it or try to sell it, I won't get my money back I really like the suv. Other than the rusted frame it runs like a top. It has tons of power and goes through snow like no bodies business. That's without it being in 4wd Any suggestions I'd be glad to hear them
