    Driving to work on 3-6-17. It was 34 f at 8:15 am. Turned on the rear window defroster about one mile from home. Drove another 0.5 miles and stopped at red light. About 15 seconds into the red light my rear window imploded and fell into the rear cargo area. Vehicle was stationary and no other vehicle struck me. Drove back home and cleaned up the glass and saw no evidence of a rock or pellet or bullet with the glass…

    Frame rot excessive rust on frame, compromising the integrity and putting the passengers lives at risk if the frame should fail. Contacted toyota, they informed me that no recalls or service campaigns are available for frame rot on 4runners, however tacomas, sequoias, and tundras have had frame rot recalls. Very unhappy as to how this matter is being treated especially after all the other frame issues from toyota…

Something has to be done and a recall has to be issued. This is…

I have also washed this vehicle regularly including the underside of this vehicle, especially during the winter months to clean off road salt. There are no existing mechanical or other problems with this vehicle and can…

    The frame rust on my 2006 4runner is becoming extensive and the amount for the year that can become potentially dangerous in the near future is inexcusable quality at best. There are areas on the frame that i am able to push in with my fingers because of the rust. There are also other parts where other parts that have been bolted on to the frame or welded on have completely rusted off. I am able to in spots peel the…

    I had a 2006 toyota 4 runner, limited. The brake system never was right and that is why we got rid of the car. At a light, car would continue to inch forward. I complained to the dealer several times and when it lurched forward when stopped in a school zone this past spring, we immediately got rid of it, since the dealer kept telling me nothing was wrong. *tr

    Dt*: the contact stated while driving 60 mph on normal road conditions, the surf board strapped to the luggage rack flew off. The contact noticed the rear cross bar detached from the rack side rails. No warning signals were observed. The dealership and the manufacturer did not accept responsibility because the front cross bar moved towards the rear hitting the rear cross bar forcing its detachment. The cross bars…
