What Owners Say
"Software issue due to memory card being removed from unit while unit was powered up. Not yet repaired because the dealers say they will have to keep the vehicle for a week or more."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.0-L V6)"The unit becomes unresponsive. Can't change volume, channels, etc"
S G., TX (2015 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.0-L V6)"Did this three times in a week Asked at dealer service about it, said it needed a software update, by appointment & I would have to pay for it since no longer under warranty I declined, hasn't reoccurred in over a month Keeping fingers crossed"
Anonymous, WA (2015 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"The display/navigation screen will freeze, then after about 30-60 seconds the system will reboot itself and resume normal function. I think it is a fairly common problem with 4Runner models in 2015 and other model years close to 2105. Sometimes the event will not occur for two months, and sometimes it will happen two or three times in a single day if driving for several hours. It is more inconvenient than unsafe, in my opinion, but it does make me reluctant to use the navigation feature if driving to an unknown location. Instead, I opt for Google Maps. I have not talked to a dealership or repair shop since I purchased the vehicle used and out of manufacturer warranty. I perceive it to be an expensive repair of about $1,200 to $1,500 in cost."

Anonymous, TX (2015 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"While listening to music through my phone or the radio and while using the GPS system, the screen freezes up. Cannot turn the system off. It reboots itself after a few minutes. Dealer said it was a software issue and they had downloaded the update, but it's happening again."
Anonymous, CO (2015 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4.0-L V6)"While driving I was using the navigation system. Occasionally the screen when blank. The solution was to have the dealer reload the software with an updated software"
James L., NH (2015 Toyota 4Runner 4.0-L V6)"Dealer was able to fix under warranty"

"The camera would stop and start working. It was a problem I had to bring to the shop three times. They found a loose wiring harness. I feel that the wiring harness was not secured properly on the rear door."
