Just got my 2007 4runner inspected and my mechanic said the 3rd brake lights in the spoiler were not working and that it wasn't a "bulb issue" but something Toyota would have to fix. Made an appointment for next Wednesday but would like an idea of what it might be before I drop it off. My...

Thanks for your feedback - I am an empty nester thus the appeal of the Venza but I have no problem getiing in and out of my 4runner. Still in driveway, standing tall, looking good. It is definitely a good vehicle and I'm glad I chose it. Methinks I will have it for a while!!

Had a weak moment a month ago and aggressively sought to buy a Venza. I am 51 now and just thought this would be a good opportunity to get something a little more refined for me and the Mrs. Got great pricing but, lo and behold, every local dealer tried to hose me on my 4runner. Got one place...

7 yr 70,000 platinum coverage - just had liftgate repainted (covered under warranty) due to a rust spot forming.

Is it possible that this is under warranty - can't believe this is rusting like this!!

Is it possible that this also is covered under warranty? Just starting so I would like to get to them early on this.:happens:

Got my 4runner back today - looks great and they did a FULL DETAIL at no charge!!!!!! I'm a happy camper. Have been looking at Venzas lately but I think I'll hang on to the 4runner. Just looks to awesome to give up!!:lookout:

Believe it or not I had them when I first took delivery and my service manager "burned" them off. Looked good as new. He said that white plastic that covers them when they are being delivered sometimes leaves a residue on them.

Posted about a rust issue yesterday and one of the guys put me on the TSB for it. Made an appointment with the service manager at my dealership and they agreed that it is Toyotas problem and will be repainting the whole liftgate and will give me in writing that if it reappears they will replace...

Finished washing 4Runner today and noticed a small rust spot forming right next to the chrome on my liftgate. Went to dealer but my service advisor advised me to see the service manager which I will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday. Shouldn't this be covered by warranty (I have a 2007 SR5...

It's all good. That's why I ran it by you guys - there is a reason we bought 4runners. I just need to be reminded of it once in a while.

I appreciate your input guys - it was scary reading about all those problems but I also read reviews that were very good. I looked at the veracruz up close and personal on Saturday and I am not experiencing that "wow" factor that I should when looking at a car. Their offer was 31000 for the...

Thinking of trading the 4runner (2007) Sr5 on a 2008 Vera Cruz (Hyundai) limited fully loaded. 38000 reduced to 29000 - still haven't negotiated my trade for the 4runner but I am sticking to my 4runner and 5000 - no higher. Reviews on the vera cruz are good and I would only do this since the...

I agree. I always get a better price at Koons but give hanover Toyota a chance to match - if so I stay in Hanover. It's a business - let the competition compete I always say.

so are you getting it at koons?
