Vehicle frame is extremely corroded to the point where replacing necessary items such as shocks/struts/steering components is not possible without irreparable damage. Factory welds at critical points of the frame structure are starting to fail and causing safety concerns. This vehicle is regularly garaged and only has 85,000 miles. This is unacceptable, there have been previous recalls and for other models that…

I was driving my toyota 4 runner in the neighborhood street of my community. My speed was less than 30mph and it accelerated suddenly. I applied the brake and instead of slowing down the vehicle began to gain speed. I pressed harder on the brake and…

The braking system vibrates and squeals when driving and braking... Told the abs/master cylinder system needs to be replaced at the cost of $3082.25. Started noticing problems at about 128000 miles on vehicle. Doesn't seem right that there is a major malfunction/repair needed with such low mileage

Vehicle purchased used july 2011 w/ 45k miles. In may 2012 at 55k had brakes repaired, all 4 wheels new rotors pads and hardware. In 2014 noticed brake fluid leaking from caliper and discoloring wheels. Dealer service verified front calipers frozen (guide pins and pads rusted in place as well as caliper pistons). This appears to be a design flaw as the caliper does not incorporate any protective boot for the guide…

Over the past 9-12 months i have owned the 4runner, i have noticed the floormats slide up behind the brake and acceleration pedal when i am constantly switching between the two (eg.

I usually am able to pull them back down at a stoplight or stop sign; however, on tuesday, july 29th, i was involved in an auto accident that was not only in heavy traffic, but while on a 200+ mile trip…

Machines break but when parts represent a risk of fatality, they should be more closely scrutinized. I got lucky when the brake booster assembly went out in my 2007 toyota 4runner while it was parked and running in my garage for 5 minutes while i unloaded it. Had i not made the decision to let the car run while i unloaded it, a decision that i first questioned, it more than likely would've gone out the following…

I come to a stop and my vehicle pulls, like somebody hit my vehicle from behind. Its constant , it happens all the time. I did take it to a dealer and they said there was nothing that could be done, they advised toyota had not come out with a recall yet for that problem. They advised it was a common problem with the drivetrain . I really do not want this vehicle any more if it is always going to do this.. What makes…
