What Owners Say
"Minor leak in system developed I was not aware of; problem noted during inspection."
Anonymous, TX (2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"All 4 shocks/struts were leaking, which gave the vehicle a rough ride. It was very expensive to replace (over $3,000) and took nearly a week to order the parts and the work completed by the dealer where I purchased the car."
Anonymous, CA (2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"Just thought it was very expensive to replace."
Johnie G., VA (2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"Hydraulic system to shock system went out; not aware of issue while driving. Surprised this went out as early as it did; dealer too was a little taken back."
Anonymous, TX (2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"Only front struts were leaking but it requires replacing front and rear as a set along with control system. This was a $3000+ repair that required us to make multiple trips to the dealer because they did not know everything that was required to be replaced and then did not have the parts on hand.."
Anonymous, CA (2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"Would not past inspection. All struts and shocks needed to be replaced at once"
Anonymous, VA (2013 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"I'm feeling a clunking noise through the steering wheel. I had a local Toyota dealer attempt to fix it - but just recommended a rear axles lift kit. Installed for $500 and it did nothing. Again, it's a clunking and vibration coming from the front end. Could be steering sub shaft assembly, shock or shock mounts, racks and pinion, etc. I will find a great technician and it will be repaired. On another subject: In hot weather the brake calipers are slow to release. They can make a squeaking noise. They are original. Just pads and rotors were replaced for the first time at over 120,000 miles - but my mileage used to be all highway and I'm aware of not overusing my brakes when the manumatic gears work well. I would buy this again. Toyota is number one. I'm driving this forever. It won't be sold or traded-in. It's paid-off and financing $50k (I would get a TRD Pro for the next one) isn't something that interests me right now."

"One ball joint had some play that sometimes transmited a shudder to the steering wheel in some driving conditions."
