Toyota 4Runner Change Vehicle

"Driver side front inside lower caliper piston seized up. It seems to be a common problem, should they fix it?"

"After a short panic stop, the brake pedal felt soft and not as confident inspiring as when it was new. The dealer initially found nothing wrong. At the next oil service they found a computer fault code. They replaced the $3000 brake master under warranty."

"The brakes (rear) lasted longer than I expected"

"Off-road Bilstein front shocks included in the TRD Pro package had a "clunk" over sharp bumps during cold weather (temp below 45 F). Toyota, TRD and Bilstein studied the problem it took about 1 year and a 1/2 to come up with a replacement shock that would not exhibit the "clunk" in cold weather. Not a recall but a TSB where owner had to bring in the vehicle during cold weather to qualify for warranty replacement of new version of the front shock. Furthermore in my case, the dealer service tech f"

"One of the struts was leaking. Due to the 4WD system design, it required replacing the strut on the opposite, diagonal corner. Originally was told all would be replaced, but only one front and one rear corner were replaced under warranty. The concern is if one of the other ones leaks (out or warranty now) the. cost will be $1.5K-$2K."

"One strut/shock had a leak. This required the strut/shock on the opposite corner to be replaced too. The 4WD design requires they be replace in pairs."

"On March 19, 2020, Toyota expanded the recall to include 2015 Lexus GS350 vehicles. The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. ... Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain 2011-2016 Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner vehicles equipped with accessory hood scoops installed by SET or SET dealers."

"Fuel Pump Recall. Dangerous situation. Second recall! Still waiting for them to figure out solution. Again, I expect a lot of grief trying to coordinate this with the dealership, and I don't drive the 4Runner anymore to avoid stall at freeway speeds."

"fuel pump would remain on after it was shut off. Opening gas cap fixes the problem"

"The 4Runner continues to give off a horrible sulphur smell every time I accelerate between 1,5 and 2.5 RPM"

"Takata Airbag recall. It is taking forever to get them replaced and I can not drive with someone in the passenger seat. Very inconvenient!"

"The Sirius satellite radio would not work properly and electronic components had to be replaced"

"Dealer left drain plug loose at last oil change"

"Oil pan was discovered to have been leaking at 55,000 mile maintenance/checkup. Repair was covered under warranty."

"This may seem trivial to some, but the interior lights and backup camera are REALLY bright, even when dimmed, they ruin my night vision. Also, can't dim or turn off if your headlights are off, again ruining your night vision"

"Blower would not start intermittantly. Received cool air by just driving without Recirculating turned on with a window open slightly to draw air through. Could turn off system and restart with Blower on lowest setting. Then start it slowly moving to higher settings. It was like a tine was missing from a spoke to turn the Blower Motor. Covered by Extended Warranty and no problems replacing. I was worried by the intermittent nature, but appearently this is a well know issue."

"The shifter was hard when shifting from P to D. The display would not indicate it was in D. Cruise control was not working and the 4Lo light was flashing."

"the car handles very poorly in icy conditions...need to switch back and forth from two wheel to four wheel drive...much worse than former XTerra or subaru"
