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.

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…

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
