CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD SHUT OFF. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

MY 2000 TOYOTA FOUR RUNNER TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD WHINING NOISE AND WHEN I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL DOWN IT GETS STUCK . I AM UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR AND THE VEHICLE KEEPS ROLLING. THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF TO STOP FROM GETTING INTO ACCIDENT.*AK

MY 99 4RUNNER'S FUEL GAUGE NEVER HAS WORKED. READINGS FLUCTUATES, OR INDICATE MORE GAS THAN ACTUALLY IN TANK. HAVE HAD GUAGE REPLACE IN '02. NOW SCHEDULED FOR A THIRD VISIT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALERSHIP (KERRY TOYOTA - FLORENCE, KY) REPLACED MY FRONT ROTORS AT 18,000 MILES DUE TO WARPING. THEY ARE NOW VIBRATING AGAIN (36,800 MILES) DUE TO WARPING. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS (ONLY 50% WORN). THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW SUGGESTING THAT THE ROTORS BE TURNED ($138)WHICH I FEEL IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY SAY ITS 'NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR'. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE. I'M NOT TOWING ANYTHING NOR DO I LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA WHERE LONG DOWN-HILL BRAKING COULD BE AN ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW ON THE PART OF TOYOTA. *JB

TIRE BLOW OUT CAUSED VEHICLE TO HIT A GUARDRAIL. *MR (THE LEFT TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT) THE CONSUMER HAD MOVED OVER TO THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN THE TIRE BLEW. *SCC *JB

I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF ROTORS. THE LAST SET LASTED LESS THAN A YEAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THE ROTORS SURE LOOK SMALL FOR THE SIZE OF THE TRUCK AND THE SIZE OF THE TIRES. I CAN TELL YOU THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS BEFORE ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES. THE DEALER SAID IT COULD BE MY WIFE'S FAULT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.. PLEASE HELP ME. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5. VIN: [XXX]. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM TOYOTA. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA FOG LIGHT KIT FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. TEXAS TOYOTA OF GRAPEVINE. THE TOYOTA PART NUMBER FOR THE KIT IS PT297-89010. MY VEHICLE COMES PRE-WIRED WITH A FOG LIGHT HARNESS. THE KIT CONSISTED OF THE FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLIES 2 OF THEM (PT297-89014). A SWITCH, RELAY AND SOME ANCILLARY PARTS ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS. BY THE WAY, IT IS MADE BY HELLA FOR TOYOTA. AGAIN THIS IS A VALID TOYOTA PART APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE. THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED ON JULY 5 2000. AND WAS INSTALLED WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE. THEN STOPPED WORKING, I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE BECAUSE AT THE TIME I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLIES WOULD BECOME DISPOSABLES. AT THE PRESENT TIME I CHECK THE FOG LIGHTS EVERYDAY BECAUSE OF MY FAILURE EXPERIENCE. ON MAY 5 2001 ONE FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE PART WAS SUPPLIED UNDER THE TOYOTA 12 MONTH PART WARRANTY BY SMITHTOWN TOYOTA, SMITHTOWN NY BECAUSE IT WAS CORRODED. THE PART NUMBER OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS PT297-89014 ON JUNE 8 2001 THE OTHER FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE PART WAS SUPPLIED UNDER THE TOYOTA 12 MONTH PART WARRANTY BY SMITHTOWN TOYOTA, SMITHTOWN NY BECAUSE IT WAS CORRODED. THE PART NUMBER OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS PT297-89014 ON APRIL 4, 2002 I LOST ANOTHER FOG LIGHT DUE TOO CORROSION. THE UNIT WAS REPLACED BY TOYOTA OF MORRISTOWN NJ UNDER WARRANTY AFTER A SOMEWHAT HEATED DISCUSSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE PART NUMBER OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS PT297-89014 ON MARCH 18, 2003, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE MY BIRTHDAY; I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE FOG LIGHTS WAS OUT. I TOOK THE RUBBER BOOT OFF AND IT AND THE WIRING WAS CORRODED AGAIN. ON MARCH 26, 2003THE OTHER FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE PART WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY AUTO LAND, SPRINGFIELD N.J BECAUSE THEY WERE CORRODED. THE PART NUMBER OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS PT297-89014.

CAR STALLS ON DECELERATION WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (RED). TOYOTA TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHOUT A PERMANENT RESOLUTION. UPON CONTACTING MANUFACTURER AND IN TURN TOYOTA SERVICE & REPAIR THEY STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISED ME TO DRIVE VEHICLE AND NOT TO COMPLETELY FILL GAS TANK, BECAUSE IF THE GAS TANK IS OVERFILLED CAUSES CAR TO TURN OFF. DUE TO GAS GETTING INTO THE VACUUM SYSTEM. *PH *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**767680

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF, AND VEHICLE RAN OFF THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD.CAUSING INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, CONSUMER STATES THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT DISENGAGE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, DEALER NOTIFIED. NLM ON OTHER OCCASIONS, CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD DISENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE WITHOUT BRAKE APPLICATION. *TT

EXPERIENCE HEAVY VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH 2 SETS OF ROTORS IN 2 YEARS. DEALER IS OF NO HELP. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS SUV DAILY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, JUST WANTED IT OUT THERE IN CASE ANYTHING EVER HAPPENS. *JB

THE SPORT SEAT WITH LEATHER IN THE 2000 4RUNNER SR5; THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT FOLDS OVER DURING THE EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE SEAT SIDE FOLDS OVER IT FOLDS OVER ON TO THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB AND CAUSES THE LEATHER TO CRACK. I HAVE HAD THE SEAT COVER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT AM CONCERNED WHEN MY WARRANTY EXPIRES. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN 10 MONTHS LATER, AND AM NOW TOLD IT IS FAIR WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE SEAT COVER IF I AM DOING NOTHING WRONG. THERE IS NOW WAY TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND NOT HAVE THE SIDE OF THE SEAT FOLD OVER ONTO THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB, THUS CREATING THE ABNORMAL WEAR AND CRACKS. DT

TOYOTA 4RUNNER - LUGGAGE RACK'S PAINT PEELED OFF IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. THE DASHBOARD STARTED FOR FORM BUBBLES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR SPEED ON A SLIGHTLY WET ROAD. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL AND PULLED TO THE LEFT AND HIT THE DIVIDER WALL ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE. THEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER AND SPUN ABOUT FIFTY FEET AWAY BEFORE IT STOPPED.. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR SPEED ON A SLIGHTLY WET ROAD. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE HIGHWAY DIVIDER WALL(GUARDRAIL) ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE AND ROLLED OVER AND SPINNED 50 FEET AWAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. DUAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

LEFT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE I WAS TOWING A 3000 LB TRAILER ON A MAJOR FREEWAY. THE REAR OF THE TOYOTA STARTED TO SWAY WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE TRAILER TO START TO SWAY. THE TOYOTA SWUNG BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY AND NEARLY ROLLED OVER. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO BOTH THE TRAILER AND THE TOYOTA AS THE TWO VEHICLES JACK KNIFED AND STRUCK EACH OTHER. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON A ROUGH SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHICH DID ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THE GOODYEAR TIRES WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY HEAVY DUTY FOR 4 WHEELING ON PRIMITIVE ROADS AND TRAILER TOWING. THE 4RUNNER CAME WITH A TOWING PACKAGE WHICH ALSO WAS INADEQUATE. THE SOCK ABSORBERS ARE TOO SOFT FOR STABLE TOWING. ADJUSTABLE STIFFER SHOCKS SHOULD BE PROVIDED ON SUCH A VEHICLE AS WELL AS SOME KIND OF VEHICLE LEVELING SYSTEM TO PROVIDE MORE STABLE TOWING. (DOT NUMBER: 4B72 TIRESIZE: 265-70-R16)

REAR AXLE BROKE CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLLOVER 3 TIMES. MR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT ABOUT 25 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR SPEED ON A SLIGHTLY WET ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT THE DIVIDER WALL ON THE PASSANGER SIDE AND ROLLED OVER.*AK

MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONTIONS, THAT MY ROTORSWILL GET OUT OF TRUE. THEY SAY THIS IS DO TO HEAT, AKA LONG BRAKING, DOWN HILL. I TALKED WITH MY SERVICE MANAGER AT FREMONT TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND HIS 4RUNNER DOES IT, BUT IS A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN MY TRUCK. IF THE ROTTERS HEAT AND GET OUT OF TRUE AND WHILE BRAKING DOWNHILL THE FRONT END OF THE 4RUNNER HAS A MAGJOR VIBRATION AND THE TRUCK FEELS LIKE ITS YOU COULD LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT AND THEY(OLD TOYOTA WORKS, ETC.) SAY THAT THE 4RUNNER BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED RIGHT. IF THE ROTTERS GET OUT OF TRUE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION THE ROTTERS GET OUT OF TRUE, CAUSED BY HEAT; IT SEEMS THAT THE HEAT DISAPATION FOR THE FRON BRAKES NEEDS TO BE BETTER AND OR A BIGGER/HARDER ROTTER TO HANDLE THE WIGHT OF THE TRUCK AND IT BRAKES AND THE ROTTERS HEAT UP.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL BLIND CURVES AND A SIGNIFICANT DOWNHILL GRADE, AS CONSUMER CAME AROUND THE CURVE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES LEFT THE PAVEMENT ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER, IN ATTEMPTING TO RE-ENTER THE ROADWAY, CONSUMER SEEMED TO HAVE OVERCORRECTED AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH THEN CROSSED OVER THE CENTER LINE AND LEFT THE PAVEMENT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE HIT 2 SETS OF BANK TREES AND THEN ROTATED ANOTHER 90 DEGREES, AND MADE ITS THIRD AND FINAL IMPACT ON THE REAR TAILGATE, THE TRUCK THEN SLID TO REST DOWN A SLIGHT ENBANKMENT, FACING NOSE FORWARD TOWARD THE ROAD, CONSUMER SUFFERED SEVERE INJURIES AND CONSEQUENTLY DIED, CONSUMERS DAUGHTER BELIEVES THAT THE CRASH WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.(DAUGHTER ON BEHALF OF DECEASED JEANNE M.

I REMOVED THE TIRES FROM MY VEHICLE AT 14,000 MILES DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE VIBRATION. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE FIRESTONE DEALER WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT HAD THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL IN EFFECT. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED FROM THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE UNTIL WE HAD THEM REMOVED.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225R75/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225R75/15 )

I BOUGHT MY 4-RUNNER 6-00 ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT WE NOTICED AND TERRIBLE ODER COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SPRAYED IT WITH SOMETHING TO KILL THE MOLD. JUST 2 MONTHS LATER THE ODER WAS BACK SO I BROUGHT IT BACK, THEY DID IT SPRAYED IT AGAIN AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE CLIMATE I LIVE IN AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT OR PAY TO HAVE THE ODER REMOVED FROM NOW ON. THE ALSO TOLD ME EVERYONE DOWN SOUTH HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. WELL, I HAVE ONLY FOUND ONE PERSON WITH THE PROBLEM I HAVE. SO, I WROTE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ALSO REFUSE TO FIX MY PROBLEM. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE VEHICLES WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SMELL AN AWFUL ODER EVERY TIME WE NEED THE A/C OR HEATER. BUT WHAT UPSETS ME NOW IS THAT MY COMPLAINT IS NOT EVEN IN THE SYSTEM TO LET OTHERS READ ABOUT IT, MAYBE SO OTHERS MAY THINK THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM AND SHUT UP LIKE I DID. I SENCERLY HOPE MY LETTER IS POSTED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS SO I DON'T SUSPECT TOYOTA TO BE TRYING TO COVER UP THIER CUSTOMERS PROBBLEMS. IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE TO HERE FROM SOMEONE CONCERNING THIS MATTER.*AK

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, I DID NOT WANT FIRESTONE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DEALER SAID THE TRUCK TIRES WERE FINE. (I HAD HAD A FIRSTSTONE TIRE COME APART ON MY 98 COROLLA ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH PUT MY SON IN THE DITCH WITH SOME 250 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. ) THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS THE 4 RUNNER FIRESTONE AT11 LOST AIR RAPIDLY ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON BUT HE WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY BEFORE IT FLATTENED COMPLETELY.. THE TIRE DEALER SAID IT WAS A PUNTURE IN THE SIDE WALL BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. THIS TIRE HAD LESS THAN 06000 MILES ON IT. I AM GOING TO CHANGE OUT THE THIS SET OF TIRES AND SPEND 400 DOLLARS FOR MY SON'S SAFETY. (I TOOK THE FIRESTONE TIRES OF THE COROLLA AT 3000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT). ITS SAD BUT THEIR TIRES ARE INFERIOR AND ANYONE WHO DRIVES ON THEM ARE AT RISK. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225X75X15 )

I REPLACED IT ONCE AND STILL READ WRONG READING. FIRST TIME, AT "E" THE TANK WAS PHYSICALLY HALF FULL!

INCORRECT READINGS AND MISRPRESENTATION OF FUEL CAPACITY BY MANUFACTURER.

DRIVER'S OUTSIDE MIRROR IS WAVY AND DISTORTED. MAKES YOU SOMEWHAT DIZZY TO LOOK AT IT. REPLACED TWICE BY DEALER WITH EXACT SAME RESULTS. DEALER FINALLY TOLD ME THAT ALL 4RUNNER MIRRORS WERE COMING THAT WAY. WHEN ASKED THE SOLUTION, HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME "DON'T LOOK AT IT". I TOLD HIM I CONSIDERED IT A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK
