What owners wrote
I recently purchased a new 2006 toyota 4 runner. I have had nothing but motor transmission, electrical failures. I have only had my vehicle for 1 month and anything and every thing has gone wrong. I even had to give my daughter cpr on the side of the road due to carbon monoxide inhalation. She went into respiratory failure do to this she has severe asthma.
Vehicle body is completely rusted out. Would not pass pa inspection without frame welding. Other suspension bars and frame issues also as a result of rust. Over $4000 to fix the issue.
