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 love the 4runner for many reason but it seems that the transmission is a little jarring at times. It's almost like the ECU has a hard time figuring out which gear it should be in. I suppose my driving style may have something to do with it as it appears no one else is having this issue. But either way its very annoying at times.
