I took my vehicle in to the dealer for it's 30,000 mile scheduled maintenance even though it was a couple of thousand miles shy of the required service. They rotated the tires along with the other scheduled services. Shortly afterwards (less than 2 weeks) I noticed that it shimmied on the highway, something it had never done previously. I took the vehicle back to the dealer, dunning Toyota of ann arbor, where they performed another $50 worth of work and I was told that it should be better now, but my tires were cupped so it wouldn't run totally smooth again unless I purchased new tires. I was told that the tire cupping was most likely the result of it being off balance for a while which makes no sense to me since the dealer was the only one that had ever touched it. These tires are supposed to have a life of 50K miles. Be it poor service or poor tires, I'm truly disappointed. I was always under the impression that Michelin tires were highly rated. Now I'm not impressed by either the brand name nor dunning.

There is corrosion in the frame and drive-train components. There is pitting, rusting throughout the frame undercarriage and the suspension and differential components. This barely 4yr old vehicle is a southern vehicle. Regardless, this corrosion is a safety issue in any vehicle let alone in a 4runner with a service inception date of 11/30/2008 with 19K miles. This is totally irresponsible of the manufacturer and they claim it is not covered by warranty. Yes, it (should be) covered by warranty and more importantly it is manufacturer's liability to correct safety/quality issue.
