2011 Toyota 4Runner Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL- MY FIRST NOTICE OF THE RECALL WAS MAY 2016 AND THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. JUST NOT HAVING A PASTURE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT A LONG TERM FIX. THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS COMING UP AND PEOPLE WILL BEGIN TO TRAVEL MORE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED PROMPTLY. WE ARE GOING ON 5 MONTHS OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: RESOLUTION LAG TIME

TAKATA RECALL - I CAN'T USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR. I THINK THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN I'M PAYING TOYOTA FOR THE CAR AND CAN'T USE IT. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN IN THE DRIVERS SIDE, HOW DO I KNOW THAT IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF METAL PARTS WON'T FLY AROUND THE CAR AND HIT SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD LIKE THE AIR BAG REPLACED ASAP!!! THE RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY 2016.

IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE OUR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SAFELY. I THINK NEARLY A YEAR IS PLENTY OF TIME TO REMEDY THE RECALL AND NO END IS IN SIGHT. IT IS MORE THAN AN "INCONVENIENCE" AT THIS POINT. WE WOULD LIKE IT FIXED NOW, IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO. MAY OF 2016. I LIVE IN A HOT, HUMID AREA. TOYOTA SUGGESTS THAT NO ONE RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. AM I REALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT FOR OVER A YEAR? I REALIZE THIS IS A LARGE RECALL. BUT I DO NOT PLAN TO GET RID OF MY 4RUNNER ANY TIME SOON. HOW LONG IS THIS SUPPOSED TO TAKE?

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE MAY OF 2016 AND THERE STILL IS NO SIGN OF WHEN THESE AIRBAGS WILL BE REPLACE. WE ARE UNABLE TO USE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FAMILY SIZE.

TAKATA RECALL: WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG ON OUR 2011 4RUNNER OVER A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE INQUIRED AND OPENED AN ISSUE FOR IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WE ARE VERY FRUSTRATED, AS THIS IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE WE USE WHEN COMMUTING AND GOING ON TRIPS, BUT CANNOT DO SO. WE WERE OFFERED A RENTAL, BUT I AM CONCERNED WITH LEAVING OUR VEHICLE ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT. WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY, STATING THAT THE COMPANY WHO MAKES THE AIR BAGS, TAKATA, HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY IN THE US. WE ARE STUCK N A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE NOW AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, JUST TO GET LOANER VEHICLES FOR A FEW DAY TRIPS WE HAVE DONE. THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND WE WANT THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL--TOYOTA CONTINUES TO SAY REMEDY NOT AVAIABLE YET IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I THOUGHT RECALLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER. I THINK THIS SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW. TO ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE I JUST RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA AND I AM SUPPOSED TO PUT IN A CLAIM OR EXCLUDE MYSELF BY SEPT. 25, 2017 (JUST WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW)? (MAKES A PERSON WANT TO BUY A CHEVY)( RED TAPE SUCKS)

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN WAITING 1 YEAR TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA AS TO THEIR REMEDY TO FIX MY AIRBAG. I AM IN ZONE A AND WOULD APPRECIATE GETTING MY VEHICLE FIXED. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA IN JULY 2016; HOW LONG MUST I WAIT TO GET A SAFETY ISSUE FIXED?

TAKATA RECALL; WE WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL WELL OVER A YEAR AGO BUT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. I KNOW SENDING THE RECALL LETTER TAKES THE "HEAT" OFF TOYOTA FOR ANY INJURIES THAT MAY OCCUR SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY AND INJURE SOMEONE BUT THIS IS MY SON'S CAR, THAT HE USES EVERY SINGLE DAY! WE HAVE ASKED TOYOTA FOR UPDATES; THEY SAY THEY HAVE NONE. WE HAVE ASKED IF THEY WILL ALLOW US TO JUST TRADE IN THE CAR; THEY SAY NO. WE HAVE ASKED IF WE CAN HAVE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE TO FIX MY SON'S CAR; THEY DECLINE. MY SON'S WELL BEING IS TOO IMPORTANT TO ME TO IGNORE THIS ANY MORE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT MORE HAS NOT BEEN DONE TO 1. FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, AND 2. EITHER ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO TRADE THEIR CAR IN OR GIVE THEM A LOANER CAR. WHAT IS A LIFE WORTH?

The frame is rusting out. The vehicle and steering shake excessively. It increases with speed and feels as if the suspension is braking or the wheels are coming off. Feels unsafe to drive. Has been this way since I purchased the car. Has gotten progressively worse.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN MY 2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER AND I WAS ADVISED IN THE NOTIFICATION THAT NO PASSENGERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE. I SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH MY SON AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND THEY WILL NOT ALLOW MY GRANDCHILDREN TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE REPORTS THAT UPON DEPLOYMENT THE AIRBAGS CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO DISPERSE CAUSING INJURY TO INCLUDE FATALITIES FROM THE PROJECTILES EMITTED FROM THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE LOSS THE USE OF MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE ABILITY TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN. THIS ISSUE MUST BE REMEDY IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE HELP! BEST REGARDS, [XXX] (FORMERLY [XXX]). *DL

THE HEADLAMPS ON THE TOYOTA 4RUNNER HAVE A DEFECT IN THE UV COATING (SEE TSB-0081-12). THE ACCELERATED DETERIORATION OF THE HEADLAMP CLARITY CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLAMPS. THE DETERIORATION OF THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS AT INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. TRIED TO START VEHICLE AND ENGINE TURNED OVER BUT WOULDN'T START. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER:BOBBY MURRAY TOYOTA OF ROCKY MOUNT, NC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, VEHICLE STARTED FOR THEM THE NEXT MORNING. THEY SAID IT HAD A CRANKABILITY CODE BUT DIDN'T SET A HARD CODE. MY CONCERN IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, WHO KNOWS WHEN OR WHERE WITH ME BY MYSELF OR WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, AND HAVING TO PAY A TOW AGAIN!!!! *TR

REAR UNDER CARRIAGE / FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION THAT SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDER NORMAL WEAR. TRUCK WAS EARLIER RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF LEAF SPRINGS DUE TO POTENTIAL FAILURE FROM CORROSION. LIKEWISE, DO BELIEVE FRAME, LIKE SOME EARLIER MODELS OF TACOMA'S, SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. FIRST SIGNS OF CORROSION/RUST BEGAN @ 2014 AND HAS BEEN PROGRESSING STEADILY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE GLASS IN THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED UPWARD AND OUT AWAY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE SUN ROOF WAS NOT BEING OPERATED. IT WAS ONLY AROUND 80 TO 85 DEGREES. THE FORCE OF THE GLASS BEING BLOWN OUT REMINDED ME OF MOTORS EXPLODING IN IRAQ. WIFE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN BEING FIRED. I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING HOW THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEONE THREW A BRICK THROUGH A WINDOW. *TR

ON 8 APRIL 2013, THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE HEATING SWITCH TO THE HEATED SEATS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. ITS SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WAS REAL HOT LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE. *TR THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. AS TO THE QUESTION WAS THERE A FIRE.......THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL FIRE BUT, SOMETHING WAS BURNING.. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. *TR

UPON ATTEMPTING TO LIFT THE REAR LIFTGATE, THE DOOR WOULD NOT STAY IN OPEN POSITION. THE DAY BEFORE 03/08/2013, IT WORKED FINE. IT APPEARS THE REAR LIFTGATE STRUTS FAILED. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THESE STRUTS FAILED IN THE OPEN POSITION IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES LIGHTLY AT 60 MPH OR MORE, ONCE THE SPEED LOWERS TO 59 MPH OR LESS IT STEADY. I ASK THE DEALER FOR THE SITUATION AND THEY SAID THAT THE STEERING ALIGNMENT IS PERFECT. TIRES WERE ROTATED BUT DIDN'T WORKED. *TR

JUST AS I PUT MY NEW TOYOTA 4-RUNNER IN REVERSE IN A CROWDED PARKING LOT, THE ENGINE RACES WILDLY. FORTUNATELY MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO "PARK" - WHEREUPON THE ENGINE RACED EVEN MORE WILDLY, UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING WAS AGAINST THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL - AND THERE WASN'T... I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS IN ITS CORRECT POSITION AND WORKING FREELY - AND IT WAS. SO I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT SEEMED FINE, AND DROVE HOME - AND A LITTLE BIT YESTERDAY (MONDAY) MORNING - THE DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT. ALL WAS FINE... BUT, BUT, THIS WAS A VERY CROWDED PARKING LOT WHERE THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE - LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE - INCLUDING CHILDREN - WALKING AROUND, AND MANY HUNDREDS OF OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS NEARBY... I AM A LIFE-LONG TOYOTA OWNER - AND THIS WILL NOT CHANGE THIS. BUT, CLEARLY THIS "UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION" PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA'S OF LATE, STILL EXISTS AND MUST BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!!! *TR

BRAKES APPLIED AT 45 MPH,VSC ACTIVATED,REAR BRAKES LOCKED ON AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A SAFE LOCATION OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO OWNERS HOME VIA FLATBED. THE REAR BRAKES WERE VERY HOT AND GRABBING AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT IN THE CONSOLE LIT. AND THE AUDIO BEEPER SOUNDED CONTINUOUSLY. INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. THEY DID NOT REQUEST TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING AND IDLING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH VSE LIGHT AND EXPERIENCED ROUGH IDLING AND ERRATIC THROTTLE RESPONSE. WHEN MY WIFE TRIED TO PUT IN REVERSE AND BACK OUT NO THROTTLE WAS PRODUCED TO MOVE VEHICLE. SHE TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON ALONG WITH VSE LIGHT. SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITH ROUGH IDLING AND EXTREMELY ERRATIC THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME WITHIN A FIVE DAY WINDOW UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE APPOINTMENT. DEALERSHIP CONTENDS THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AT 39,000 MILES DUE TO THE THREE PROBLEMS CODES PULLED FROM VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH SCHEDULED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED @ 30,000 MILES WITH THROTTLE BODY CLEANING THIS PART STILL FAILED. THE ERRATIC THROTTLE RESPONSE FROM THIS PART IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE THAT EXPERIENCES THIS WHILE DRIVING. *TR
