NHTSA complaint #11129701, filed 2018-09, 170,000 miles“While driving today the steering became unstable, erratic, and the car lurched out of my lane into oncoming traffic. A new noise appeared to be coming from rear left tire. When I safely pulled over and inspected vehicle I noted the frame was severely rusted and that the forward welded mount for the lower suspension arm had fractured along the factory weld and was dangling down. This car has never been wrecked. It has been inspected and passed pa state inspections yearly since 2002.”
NHTSA complaint #10584522, filed 2014-04, 226,622 miles“2000 Toyota 4RUNNER has major frame issues that could break at anytime and cause an accident! These frames rust out without the owners knowing. These are family vehicles that are driven for many years and Toyota has had issues with other frames on different models but same year vehicles. Toyota has had numerous complaints on these frames and has never recalled these models. For the safety of my family and others please look into this matter!”
NHTSA complaint #10536858, filed 2013-08, 156,000 miles“When pulling my 2000 limited 4wd 4 RUNNER back onto the highway over a 1inch piece of asphalt my entire wheel came off, causing my vehcle to flip. In addition, that 4runner and the replacement 2000 4wd 4runner's antiskid/anti lock brakes failed and locked when depressing the brakes while hitting a small bump in the road. The vehicle doesn't stop and has almost caused a number of accidents both with other vehicles and with people in the crosswalk.”
