What owners wrote
Dt: ithe contact had 2002 toyota 4-runner serviced at dealership because of brake problems and the ABS light was on. Had brake problems several times ,and had vehicle serviced several times. The contact told dealership wheels kept locking , and she did not feel safe drivingthe vehicle. Dealership left parts off the brakes. The contact found the parts in trunk. Took vehicle back to the dealership who said it happend because brake fluid leak. Also, a tail light was out.
When I had my state inspection in january of 2020, the machanic told me the frame of the vehicle will not pass inspection again. It is severely rusted through and in his opinion is unsafe to drive. A few weeks later, I was travelling to my father's residence and the brakes gave out. The technician that repaired my brake line also told me and documented on the bill that the truck is really not safe to drive. I have owned this vehicle for 18 years, and only driven it five winters.
