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.

My Toyota 4runner has a consistent ammonia smell that leaks into the cabin. This has gone on for a month and hatch Toyota denies it's a problem. My wife and I fear for our health because of this odor. The forums report this problem as far back as 2003, but Toyota says they are unaware of any problem.
