2007 Toyota 4Runner UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My 4runners frame is rotted out on the passenger side after an accident and I do not believe it is safe to drive because of this; moreover, there are other areas of the vehicle that were rotted out due to rust, like the vehicles gas tank.

Hello My Frame is rotted beyond safety standards, rotted way faster than the sheetmetal on the rest of the truck, leaving my vehicle unsafe for the road. Yes, it is available for inspection, and the local Toyota dealer did have a look and rendered it unsafe for the road. Apparently when the rust finally breaks, I will be hurled into oncoming traffic, endangering myself, my passengers and other drivers and passengers on the road nearby. No lamps, lights or other warnings were noted, yes, this vehicle was inspected by Charlie's Toyota in Augusta, Maine and deemed unsafe for the road due to dangerous frame corrosion, particularly surrounding the steering control arm, and rear axle control arm mounts causing severe safety hazards. There was a label saying the frame was sealed by the manufacturer, so I do not see how this is possible.

Recently bought this. Owner said there was a recall about it. There isn’t, at least yet. The front passengerside & back driverside doors won’t unlock remotely. That could be a problem after an accident or if needing to enter the car immediately. I haven’t taken it anywhere, but it is available to be inspected. There weren’t any lights/warnings indicating a problem. The date & mileage listed is current. I don’t know when it actually started.

Codes P1442, P1445, P2441, P1441. Had to install a new Secondary Air Injection System. Defective emissions system. I (service station) mistakenly bypassed the system in order to save several thousand dollars when the SAIS was known to be defective in these vehicles.

FRAME RUST SO BAD THAT HOLES ARE STARTING TO APPEAR.

THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WILL NOT BE INSPECTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER AND PASSAGE DON'T STAY UP ANY MORE. KEEP FALLING.

MELTED BLACK BACK DOOR LIFT GATE RELEASE SWITCH. PART#84840-35010 DEALER SAID IT WAS SHORTED OUT THAT CAUSED IT TO MELT AND BECOME STICKY.

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.

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.

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. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, MY VEHICLE BEGAN RAPIDLY ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, QUICKLY GETTING TO ABOUT 70 - 75 MPH BEFORE I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN. AGAIN THE VEHICLE SLOWED SLIGHTLY BUT FELT ODD, LIKE IT WAS PULLING. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, MY VEHICLE AGAIN RAPIDLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, AT WHICH POINT I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER. THE VEHICLE PULLED HARDER THIS TIME AND STARTED VIBRATING SEVERELY. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEGAN ACCELERATING. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. OVER THE NEXT ~ 20 MINUTES I TRIED ~ 4 - 5 TIMES TO CRANK THE CAR. EACH TIME THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY REVVED SUCH THAT THE TACHOMETER ALMOST INSTANTLY HIT RED ZONE, AND I CUT THE ENGINE OFF. I CALLED TOYOTA'S "800" PHONE NUMBER, AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET THE CAR TO A TOTOTA DEALER. BEFORE CALLING A TOW TRUCK, I TRIED CRANKING THE CAR ONE MORE TIME, AND THAT TIME THE ENGINE CRANKED NORMALLY.
