2007 Toyota 4RUNNER Other or unknown Problems

“I purchased my 2007 4RUNNER and found a-lot of rust on the under carriage of my favorite vehicle. It spreads everywhere; including the engine bay. Not only does it compromise the safety of the vehicle but it shortens the life also. I wanted to buy a new 4RUNNER this year but after learning of the rust issues I thought twice.”

“While traveling under cruise control at 55- 60 MPH on a rural 2 lane highway in nc, I came upon a vehicle in my lane traveling at a slower rate of speed. As I approached the vehicle, I accelerated to pass. While passing I could tell that the vehicle felt like it was moving faster than the 60 - 65 MPH it should have been for the amount of gas I gave it, but I was concentrating on completing the pass and did not look at the speedometer. After passing and pulling back into my lane, I depressed the brake to slow down. My vehicle slowed slightly but felt odd, like it was pulling. …”

“Vehicle has premature excessive rust of the frame and associated components and should have been included in the same recall my 05 sequoia (as well as tacomas and tundras) of the same era since all were manufactured with the same process that lacked adequate application of rust protection/coating. Many others on here as well as online on other sites also are reporting this generation of 4RUNNER to have rusting. …”

“The vehicle was in motion on a town 2 lane highway, speed limit 40, goog weather, when the car suddenly turned to the left and made a loud beeping noise. I turned it back to gain control and return to the correct line of travel. Brought it to the dealer where system tests were performed per Toyota and nothing was found to be wrong. This had happened before.”

“The rubber on the inside the tailgate handle has melted and eroded. It is sticky to the touch and consists of a black tar-like substance. Year round the handle is difficult to latch. This is an obviously faulty part, and should be replaced as the manufacturer is well aware of this issue. I heard that Toyota shipped a punch of faulty door openers like this in 2006.”
