2019 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

Steering wheel shakes and wobbles. At times violently. Occurs at 55-65 MPH. Wheels and tires have been balanced countless times. Alignment is in spec. Correct Tire pressure is used. Truck has been inspected by dealer. Tires have been balanced by dealers and local shops. No one can fix the shake and wobble in the steering wheel. This has been a problem since the vehicle was new and now has over 20,000 miles. There are thousands of complaints as I have found on line forums.

Component: Possible steering rack issue Safety concern: Vehicle steering wheel shakes at speed between 60-62mph. A lot of new 4Runner affected by this issue. Problem is confirmed by Toyota Dealership

I had been driving for roughly 4 hours when my sunroof exploded/shattered from the inside out. I heard a loud noise and then the sound of the outside air. I couldn't see a broken window. I pulled off of Hwy 202 (Phoenix metro area) onto the next exit and got out and stepped up on my running board and saw that their was a large hole in the center of my sunroof glass. There was no other damage that I could see to the roof. When the damage occurred I had no other traffic around me and I there was not an overpass in sight, behind or in front of me. My headliner was closed so no glass entered the cabin of the vehicle. There was no damage to the headliner. The claim has been reported to Toyota and also to my insurance company. My passenger was my 15 year old foster son. No one was injured in this event

I BOUGHT A NEW 2019 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER SR5 PREMIUM JUNE 2019, I RECEIVED BY MAIL A RECALL NOTICE RE: FUEL PUMP IN FEB 2020, THEN NOTIFIED AGAIN IT WAS NOT A RECALL BETWEEN MARCH-MAY 2020. THEN, IN OCT 2020 TOYOTA ISSUED THE SAME RECALL RE: FUEL PUMP BUT I WASN'T NOTIFIED UNTIL JAN/FEB 2021 BY MAIL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FEB, THEY CALLED TOYOTA WHO SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR A REMEDY. WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE IT WAS DISCLOSED RE: THE IMPELLARS & WHAT OCCURRED DURING THE MFG PHASE. ANYHOW THE DEALER COULDN'T REPLACE IT AS I WAS GOING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I'M VERY IRRITATED BECAUSE I BOUGHT AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE & CAN'T MAKE A LONG DISTANCE ROAD TRIP FEARING THE FUEL PUMP WILL FAIL. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A REMEDY WHICH IS A NEW FUEL PUMP. IT'S OBVIOUS TOYOTA DOESN'T CARE FOR PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR LIVES AT RISK DRIVING AROUND WITH A BAD FUEL PUMP. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ONCE & FOR ALL. THEY NEED TO BEEF UP THE RE-MFG OF THE FUEL PUMP & TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE ME THAT SPENT 44,000 ON A CRUDDY VEHICLE. I'M READY TO GET RID OF IT. PLEASE HELP.
