Toyota 4Runner Change Vehicle

“Both front 4 piston calipers were replaced due to not releasing the brake pads. Just this week both front rotors & pads were replaced at n/c including the labor. Previously the brakes were shuttering & vibrating while trying to stop. My mechanic stoo”

“Passenger side front caliper locked up, required replacement”

“Left front brake was dragging since it did not fully release”

“I went in originally for a rattle underneath the car. It was a rotting heat shield which they said was okay to just remove. Then they said the front disc brakes needed replacing and in replacing them they said the caliper "froze" on one side and it”

“rusted”

“I have exper. several caliper "failures" due to rust on the pistons which as been a cause of rapid break pad wear and in one case a loss of breaking”

“Seized calipers”

“Calipers overheated and locked up on front left and right (two separate incidences)”

“The Toyota 4Runner calipers last about 25,000 miles, or about a year and half before they fail. This is common and well documented on the Internet in areas that use road salt in the winter, Toyota refuses to address the problem”

“Front left seized at 100K, then front right at 125K and front left again at 155K”

“Front calipers routinely rust so bad that the lower Pistons seize and the calipers must be replaced. This has happened on 4 calipers in the last 100,000 miles. A significant design flaw”

“difficult to replace rotors resulting in very expensive need to replace caliper”

“Dealer said caliper needed to be replaced”

“one side froze, replace both”

“Both front calipers froze up a year apart of each other. Because ABS compensated, I didn't notice the problem until I replaced brake pads. One side was worn. The other was not. Then I could not depress the piston. Replaced the calipers”

“Calipers on this 4Runner are known to fail”

“rear brakes replaced”

“Not really a problem”

“too much rust on body”

“The rear axle breather vent failed causing the wheel seal to fail.2nd result is brake pads get oil so are contaminated. BUT, it was due for break pads”

“Replace brake discs”

“Front brake pads needed replacement, mechanic recommened replacing rotors & calipers”

“excessive pad wear”

“Original set of front rotors had to be replaced due to premature failure of calipers. Second set of aftermarket rotors had to be replaced due to premature failure of aftermarket calipers”

“After having front rotors and pads replaced I had excessive brake dust while in Florida. Returned home to find out the 4 piston calipers were sticking and not releasing the pads. Both front calipers replaced. I just had both front pads & rotors repla”

“Rotors were warped and had to be turned twice to smooth out”

“rotors warp with routine use in hill or mountainous country”

“For no known reason the front rotors warped and had to be replaced”

“just wore out”

“Worn and needed replacing”

“Pump blew a seal, sucking air. Pump had to be replaced to be replaced. Down time was 3 days”

“The XREAS system should be declared to all owners of Toyota vehicles with this system. It is difficult, expensive and needless to repair. Most of us, me included, abandon this system due to cost and it being a useless "technology" add to a great ve”

“Normal wear and needed to be replaced”

“Need to replace them”

“Small leaks in my struts - have not fixed yet Makes ride on bumpier roads worse”

“The REAS system failed”

“Shocks leaking oil at 35000 miles. All 4 had to be replaced. Pavement driving only. No 4-wheeling. Toyota paid half the cost due to premature failure”

“X-REAS system malfunction”

“Normal wear”

“Shocks and struts both needed to be replaced/typical of a vehicle with almost 100,000 miles on it”

“Dealer said from struts needed replacing, so we had them do it”

“Rear shocks were leaking so I replaced alll the shocks”

“The steering shaft linkage had to be replaced”

“The rack and pinion had to be replaced last month at a cost of 1800”

“Power steering hoses deterioration, requiring flushing”

“both front went bad after 160,000 miles”

“tie rod end's bushing wore out and caused a clunking nice when going over bumps. Midas replaced the ends when Toyota dealer couldn't find the noise”

“Had to be replaced twice; mostly due to wear caused by rubber boot failure and loss of lubricant”

“Balance was due to shock wear”

“Had wheel bearing failure following routine inspection and repair. Something to warn others about”

“One of the front wheel bearings had to be replaced”

“Just due to age of car, but had to replace the whole headlight assemblies due to crazing and cracking of the plastic. Unfortunately they were over $200 a piece”

“burnt ot light bulb”

“They are just very dim. I had the same problem with my 1996 Rav4”

“Short in wire to running board light”

“a few of the marker lights work when they want to. you can tap the lens and make it work or not work”

“The parking lamps burned out which I consider normal. However, there was significant corrosion within the bulb sockets that caused great difficulty with bulb removal. One of the sockets was ruined and had to be replaced. We live in Georgia so road salt contamination is NOT an issue contributing to the corrosion”

“Lights on the temp controls went out”

“Dash light bulb burned out in clock panel”

“Lights on fan and climate controls went out. Had them fixed but 6 months later they are out again”

“Interior lights do not work so i can not see the display (clock, temp, etc) at night time”

“The lights on the dashboard do not light up anymore making it difficult to find the buttons when its' dark in the vehicle. I replaced this once already but the replacement light part is now not working either”

“Some dash lights out as well as rear tailgate locks and electric window causing tailgate to not open-frozen in locked position”

“The car is 11-12 years old now, but the interior lights on the dashboard are now going out all over the dash”

“Tire pressure light is flashing, meaning malfunctioning. Too costly to fix. Also, radio/clock panel light is out and also too costly to take out just to change bulb”

“Tire pressure warning light comes on even though the pressure is within limits”

“Broke about 2 years ago, and repair is costly, so it remains broken”

“Tire pressure monitor fixed for one wheel-another one failed and was told all need to be replaced!”

“Had to be replaced”

“The wiper no the back window doesn't work at all. I hardly ever use it, but when I tried to use it, it wouldn't move at all. I asked about how much it would be to fix it, and I don't remember the exact amount, but it was in the hundreds of dollars”

“rear wiper and window defroster stopped working”

“Key fob no longer unlocks the rear driver side passenger door”
