Toyota 4Runner Change Vehicle

"Problem caused by bad wheel sensor; this in turn disabled traction and stability control systems. $600.00 repair"

"When I tap the brake lightly all the lights for the ABS, traction control, etc light up on my dashboard like they are not working properly. Im not sure if there is an actual problem or the lights just come when I hit the brake lightly"

"Rust"

"Brake hose leak made driver side wheel seize and heat up."

"calipers were off brand and didn't even last 2 yrs."

"they required replacement"

"I have always had excellent brakes, and had noticed brake dust accumulating on my front right wheel. .I had never had a brake dust issue in the past. Bad calipers were diagnosed, and all four had to be replaced, as well as the rotors"

"Pad clips broke and pads were loose in the caliper causing serious vibration and pulling upon applying braking force"

"Frequent seizing requiring expensive replacement"

"Calipers on one wheel became stuck and had to be replaced"

"Could be due to age, but both front calipers stated binding at about 190000 miles"

"Second time that calipers "froze" and caused vibration in brake pedal"

"replaced both front and left rear, calipers, pads and rotors."

"Always one cylinder in 4 position caliper locking up overheating brakes. Third time in last 3 years"

"Sticking calipers, chronic"

"The Calipers freeze up and need to be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000KM"

"I was changing the front pads and one caliper had a stuck piston so I had to put a new caliper on"

"front double calibers rusted and locked up"

"Complete breaking system replaced"

"I purchased the car used with 80,000 miles and had no history of the previous owner's maintenance or driving habits. When I began to have a bit of vibration when braking around 109,000 miles, I did some diagnostic measurements (runout) and found the right front rotor was not true though still within spec. I decided to simply restore the whole wheel end brake system to restart the history, so to speak. I Installed new rotors and brake pads, and rebuilt all of the calipers. I also flushed and changed the fluid. I used higher performance parts than OEM, and the brakes work great now."

"After 155,000 I had the checked and the rear brake drum was turned and the pads replaced . The front pads still had 60 percent wear left on them and have never been replaced. WOE"

"rear brakes replacement bad front wheel bearings"

"With about 150000 miles on vehicle the front pads were significantly worn down. So I replaced both front and rear pads and had all 4 rotors turned"

"Replace break pads"

"failed at same time as major brake failure in 09/18"

"The cables need replacing every 50,000KM"

"Actually replacing the brake pads after 180,000 miles is normal wear replacement"

"Rotors on front brakes are crap. Had rotors turned,pad replaced on all four when when purchased (2008 Purchase). In 2014 replaced the front calipers , rotors, pads,and hose. Rotor very east to stick.. Did work myself for 400 $. Brakes all way"

"I had to check the front end for shaking. Discovered also that the tire pressure sensor went bad. Part was expensive and it does not work with the onboard computer."

"Rear break lines were leaking and had to be replaced 09/18 and then in 01/19 replaced brake line front to back and left front brake line"

"Wore out and had to be replaced"

"included in the box about calipers"

"Rotors wore extremely unevenly, so that I felt unsafe driving at speeds over 40 mph, afraid I wouldn't be able to stop quickly"

"only in reverse when the car is cold. once the wheels warm up the squeak disappears"

"The paint on the plastic/fiberglass cladding along both sides is fading from the sun. I got an estimate to repair, but haven't have done it yet."

"The clear coat failed"

"Paint on the fender wells are fading, not sure why. We have it detailed every two years, inside and out."

"Paint on the hood and roof has been fading and cracking since about 2012. Now it is also starting to happen on the wheel wells. Want to have it repainted but cost would be about $5000."

"It is frequently parked outside and the paint is fading and starting to flake on the roof and the fenders (I think they are plastic) have faded) and there's a spot on the hood where the paint is coming off"

"Exterior paint has faded sigificantly, almost as if being worn off by weather. Similar to paint almost down to primer. Car is not garaged & live in an area near water. Not seen other 4Runners, older models in our family/friends with same problem"

"Top coat glazing off. Looks crackly. Also paint chipping"

"The paint is chipping and cracking at different places on the body"

"The pain on the front bumper and both outside mirrors is peeling. The paint on the wheel trim is fading"

"Plastic exterior body molding fading over past approximately 3 years, dealer unresponsive on repairs"

"the hood, top, and rear spoiler, and all wheel flairs had to be repainted due to sun damage"

"paint fading on hood and cab"

"clear coating peeled off."

"the paint coating is crackling terrible. paint surface looks terrible."

"Rear bumper"

"We purchased a protective coating for the vehicle and the vehicle is garaged but we can see places on the paint that are fading."

"The coat over the paint is peeling off. looks ugly."

"clear coat is cracking and peeling on front and back bumper."

"Paint peeled off as a result of the rusting spot I previously described"

"clear coat peeled off horizontal surface such as roof, hood, around window edges.paint on roof faded"

"chalking - but it is a 2006"

"Rust"

"Paint fading"

"The frame was made using substandard steel, Toyota pick up trucks of the same year were recalled for this issue. The 4runner which was built on the same frame was not included in the recall. As a result, advanced rusting on the vehicle's underside is causing premature failure of the brakes, and other parts like muffler shields have had to be replaced.I have been told this rusting will shorten the expected life of the vehicle by 50000 miles. Toyota is aware of this but takes no responsibility."

"The 4runner has over 250,000 miles on it in up state NY, lots of salt.So I would expect rust to become (and it's just becoming)a problem.This year does't have the visor on the back so the salty road spray gets behind the rear window seal and at some point starts the rot. also this year the transmission and power steering lines needed repair because of rust."

"Had to replace tailgate as interior had totally rusted out"

"Rust only on the tailgate and internal parts because the window seal deteriorated."

"rust bubbled up on the tailgate"

"rusting area approximately 6 square inches adjacent to the rear chrome license plate housing"

"Rear tailgate had rust likely caused by chrome trim items rubbing through paint"

"Steering reck leak. Same problem with a 1995 model I owned previously"

"Caused by excessive rust"

"Excessive rust caused leak and needed replacement of much of system"

"strut covers split"

"Need replacement due to age"

"Struts were worn out, so I replaced them"

"Brake guys says my struts are bad. No idea how or why. Says he can't repair them. Can only be done by Toyota. Special parts or something"

"I purchased this vehicle used with approximately 80,000 miles. The handling of this vehicle was very good, but over time, the handling began to deteriorate. Since I knew nothing of the previous owners maintenance or driving habits, around 110,000 miles I decided to change the front strut assemblies with upgraded, non OEM parts. I also changed the rear springs and shocks, non OEM, at the same time. The handling has been restored to very acceptable performance, and I now know the history of these parts. Also, for whatever reason, there were two different strut assemblies (OEM Toyota but with different coil springs) on the front of the car. Odd!!"

"Had to replace the shocks/struts in March 2014 I consider this normal wear and tear as they had 126K miles on them"

"The struts are high performance and they did last over 80,000 miles. But they are very costly to replace and not all repair shops know they require a special tool and are a special kind of strut"

"shocks and struts worn out and replaced at 170000 miles"

"they wore out"

"Stock X-REAS suspension system failed one circuit (leaking). Cost prohibitive to replace at $2000 for two shocks. Switched to aftermarket Bilstein Monotube shocks and am very happy"

"Full suspension system rusted (cross suspension on Limited version) had it replaced by regular shocks because less expensive 767$ Everything under the truck is rusted, not well taken care of by previous owner. Would buy new next time"

"replaced all shocks and struts at 100k miles. It was expensive and I didn't enjoy it or want to do it. Gaskets and cylinders were leaking/busted"

"Due to 'clunking' noise it appears that the stabilizer bars and sway bar links/bushings will all need to be replaced at cost of around $700"

"Caused by extensive rusting, rusting under the car is a major problem"

"rusted intermediate shaft"

"Car has always had an odd vibration between 65 and 70 mph"

"This problem went away once I replaced the struts"

"Play in bearing"
