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.

2006 4runner sport edition 4WD -Toyota- 38K miles on vehicle. All the bolts that hold the clutch assembly to the A/C compressor is rusting out to the point that the compressor will come apart during driving and damage other components and probable cause accident. This was notice at ~24K and it's getting worst. Presently, all the bolts head is almost gone and apart from the rusting bolts there is a second part on the clutch assemble that is also rusting. Toyota will not accept it under there warranty.
