    When bringing vehicle to a stop, there is a very loud clunk that can be physically felt shuddering through the entire vehicle. Many many trips to the dealer resulted in nothing. There is a tsb for the lexus equivalent of the 4runner with this problem. This means they admit there is a problem, but refuse to acknowledge it on non-lexus vehicles. Unacceptable. If the driveshaft is impacting that hard every time the…

    1. Happened since about 15-20k miles on my 2005 4runner (i'm the first and only owner). 2. Occurs when coming to a stop, large clunk sound and vehicle jolts forward right after a full stop. 3. Nothing has been done to correct the failure. Each time the toyota dealer service tech takes it for a ride they cannot replicate it, i went once and was not able to replicate it at that time. However, there are numerous online…
