NHTSA complaint #10576498, filed 2014-04, 65,000 miles“Last september, I sent a written plea asking Toyota to evaluate and correct the excessive frame corrosion on my 2005 4RUNNER. The vehicle has never been registered outside south carolina or ever been exposed to road salt. Toyota's response disclaiming responsibility was unsatisfactory. Toyota is well aware of this problem and has corrected this identical problem on similar models and model years. Yesterday, my wife and I and two friends riding with us narrowly escaped a fatal accident when the front suspension separated from the frame due to the corrosion problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11098055, filed 2018-05, 76,112 miles“The contact owns a 2005 Toyota 4runner. While driving 55 MPH the front of the vehicle started shaking. The contact inspected the wheels, noticed four lug nuts on the passenger front were missing, and the other three tire lug nuts were loose. The dealer stated that they have never seen this kind of problem. There is a recall for the 2003 model (recall# 02v339000). The contact feels his vehicle should be included as part of the recall. The current mileage and failure mileage were 30000.”
