  On certain vehicles, a manufacturing issue with the front lower ball joint could result in premature wear. If the vehicle is operated for an extended period of time in this condition, the ball joint may eventually experience excessive wear and looseness, resulting in increased steering effort, reduced vehicle self-centering and noise in the front suspension.

• Frame corrosion investigation # DP18002

  On august 13, 2018, the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) received a letter dated august 7, 2018, petitioning the agency to investigate frame corrosion in model year (my) 2002 through 2006 toyota 4runner vehicles. The petitioner alleges that while he was traveling on a two-lane highway in his 2005 4runner "without warning, the steering/suspension system separated from the frame due to excessive frame corrosion," resulting in difficulty controlling the vehicle. The petitioner initially reported the failure to nhtsa in a may 26, 2018 complaint (voq 11098055). The petition alleges that the incident he experienced resulted from excessive and premature corrosion and cites as evidence: 1) other complaints of "premature and excessive frame corrosion" in 2002 through 2006 4runner vehicles that he identified in nhtsas on-line complaint database; and 2) a recent class-action settlement involving "1.5 million tacoma, tundra and sequoia trucks also built on a frame," which he alleges did not include the 4runner vehicles "simply because there were insufficient complaints known to the counsel representing the class at the time it was formed."the petition scope includes third (my 1996-2002) and fourth (my 2003-2009) generation toyota 4runner vehicles. A preliminary analysis of available complaints and field reports by nhtsas office of defects investigation (odi) has identified no crashes or injuries related to corroded frame or suspension components in these vehicles.Odi will evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision.

After having my 4 runner in for routine maintenance, my mechanic informed me that my frame was in bad condition and rusting through. Doubtful it has a year left and he advised me to junk it as fast as i can. 180;000 miles - so much for toyota’s lasting a long time.

Frame is showing excessive rust all over, a known problems with 4runners and toyota trucks. Auto repair shop says vehicle probably has only 1 year of life left before unsafe and undrivable. Car has only 100000 miles on it, 1998 4runner we had made it to 250000 miles- unacceptable.

The frame has rusted at the passenger side rear control arm mount to the point of not passing inspection.

I recently had my vehicle in for service and to get new tires. While on the lift, the mechanic pointed out to me that the frame on the passenger's side is beginning to rust through. This is an obvious potential safety issue and as i have researched possible repairs, it appears that this is a very common problem for this year and model. This should be recalled.

Excessive rust on the frame. Have heard of other toyotas from the same time that were recalled but not the 4runner even though it suffers the same issues.
