2009 4 runner transmission: same as other complaints about slipping and lag time in engaging into gear at low speeds (like when slowing down to make turns or go over speed bumps). Obviously not shifting correctly and is a safety issue when turning across traffic and the vehicle does not respond properly when the accelerator is depressed. Toyota needs to investigate this as it looks like a recurring problem for this…

2009 4runner transmission slips (revs to high rpms) while attempting to accelerate after slowing below 15 mph (while making turns or slowing for traffic). This has caused dangerous situations where a significant lag time between depressing the gas pedal and when the transmission engages while making a left hand turn across on coming traffic or when a quick acceleration is needed after slowing. The potential for an…

I have a 2001 toyota 4runner. The rear differential leaks oil through pin holes, and from what i have read, mine is not the only one.

This is clearly a defect by toyota reducing the cost of their material the construct the…

I have a 2009 toyota 4 runner, purchased new in november '09. The car currently has 1800 miles on it, however i noticed the problem at about 400 miles. The problem is the transmission slips when shifting up at about 10 miles per hour. It does not do this from a complete stop, only after de-accelerating (example, slowing down to make a right turn) and accelerating back up, then it will slip. Nothing has been done to…

I purchased my 2009 4runner new last year. From the minute i drove it off the lot i noticed a problem with the transmission. Any time the vehicle slows below 15mph and then the accelerator is depressed, the engine revs to a high rpm as if searching for a gear and does not accelerate as commanded. This is very prevalent in slow traffic, slowing for a yield sign or turning corners. The biggest safety concern is in…

I bought my 2009 4runner new in may of 2009 and from the first week noticed a problem with the transmission slipping, and it is progressively getting worse. It happens consistently each time i slow down (but don't stop completely) to turn corners and then continue to accelerate,. The transmission doesn't…
