2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

WHILE BRAKING AGGRESSIVELY ON A DRY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE, THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THEN IT RELEASED THE BRAKES ALL TOGETHER - RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL BRAKING CAPABILITY. BRAKING CAPABILITY WAS RESTORED AFTER THE PEDALS WAS RELEASED ALL TOGETHER AND RE APPLIED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ON 2017/10/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY A TOYOTA AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THEY HAD NOT IDENTIFIED ANY FAULTS AND CLAIM THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS EXPECTED.

TAKATA RECALL: CONFLICTING INFORMATION FOR DETERMINING IF VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL. CALLED AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT CENTER AND THEY SAID AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL AND DEALERS MAY NOT YET BE AWARE OR HAVE INFO TO CALL IN VEHICLE. CALLED DEALER AND SERVICE REP. INDICATED THEY HAD NOT NOTICE MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS WEBSITE DID NOT RECOGNIZE MY VIN NUMBER WHEN PUT IN AT THE START, CALLING MY VIN ENTRY AS INVALID. WITHIN THIS CLAIM FORM IT RECOGNIZED MY VIN NUMBER AS VALID!? I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL AND NO NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT TO DEALER. MEANWHILE MY FAMILY MAY BE SUBJECT TO SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT WILL BE RECALLED, AND WHEN. THE WHOLE PROCESS OVERLOOKS THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE ACTIONS OF OTHER DRIVERS, AND MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RECALL PROCESS AGAIN REPRESENT THE CONCERN FOR THE COMPANIES INVOLVED AND NOT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE INDIVIDUALS.

THE LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE WORKED ERRATICALLY, PUT IN SHOP COST OVER $600. WEEKS LATER PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE KEY. INSTALLED MYSELF $300, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES. THE CONCERN IS IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD HAVE A DIFFICUT TIME REMOVING A PERSON FROM THE VEHICLE . THE PART IN BOTH CASES WAS THE DOOR ACTUATOR.

BRAKES ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR MODEL. ROTORS WARP AROUND 15K AND KEEP WARPING WHEN REPLACED OR RESURFACED. BRAKING IS NOT SOLID, IS SLOW, AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE RESULTS WHEN WARPING OCCURS. BRAKES DO NOT ADEQUATELY GRAB. BRAKES ALSO ARE SLOW TO REACT WITH ABS ON CORNERS, MAKE SOUNDS AND BRAKES ARE SUBSTANDARD FOR MODEL. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED UNDER AT 15K AND 23K IN MY CAR. DEALER SAID IT''S A KNOWN ISSUE AND TELLS PEOPLE TO DOWNSHIFT (IN AN AUTOMATIC!) INSTEAD OF BRAKE. MANY COMPLAINTS IN INTERNET FORMULA REGARDING THE SAME. PEOPLE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT WITH THESE ISSUES. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR BRAKES AND A STRONGER BRAKING SYSTEM ISSUED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A MILDEW ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE OCCUPANTS BECAME ILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ODOR WAS CAUSED BY MOLD COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

I HAD 20,000 MILES AND BOUGHT THE VEICHLE BRAND NEW AND WENT TO LEAVE WORK AND MY VEICHLE WAS STRUGGLING TO STAY GOING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHINING. WHEN I'D GO TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULD STRUGGLE AND ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. I HAD TO GO 20MPH ON THE SIDE ROADS ABOUT 15 MILES TO THE DEALER. THE RPM SHOULDN'T SHIFT. IT WAS CAUSED BY A MOUSE I GUESS? SINCE THEY USE SOY BASE AND SEE THIS A LOT. SO FUSTRATING WHEN YOU PAY $38,000 FOR A VEICHLE. I'D MUCH RATHER DRIVE MY OLDER 2010 HONDA THAT NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH SO CALLED A MOUSE. THEY OF COURSE WOULDN'T COVER IT. TO TOP IT OFF I HAD A MAJOR OIL LEAK AT 19,000 MILES CAUSING ABOUT $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. WHICH WAS THE FACTORY'S FAULT THEY SAID. IT WAS COVERED BY WARRENTY, BUT STILL IT'S RIDICULOUS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. WITH 1 MILE ON IT, FRESH OFF THE TRUCK. AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA. I'M AFRAID MY VEICHLE WILL BREAK DOWN ON ME. WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL WHEN I BUY A NEW CAR. SO DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

ENTUNE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM CONTINUALLY CRASHES AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD IF DRIVER HAS TO CONTINUALLY RESET THE RADIO POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS MORE SO WHEN THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS ENGAGED. IT WILL CRASH OUT OF NO WHERE, USE TO JUST HAPPEN WITH INSTRUCTIONS WERE BEING GIVEN THROUGH THE SPEAKER NOW ITS RANDOM. HAPPENS ALSO WHEN WITH JUST MUSIC PLAYING, WILL BE UNABLE TO CHANGE STATIONS OR CONTROL VOLUME WITH BUTTONS OR NOBS. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE NO WAY OF SOLVING THE ISSUE. MIGHT BE NEED FOR SAFETY RECALL AS PEOPLE MAY NEED TO CONTINUALLY RESET OR TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND MADE A CHATTERING NOISE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CONTACT THOUGHT THEY WERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, SOUNDS LIKE SUSPENSION... I MENTIONED IT TO THE TECH AT THE 5000 MILE CHECK, AND THE 15000 MILE CHECK. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. IT IS ONLY PRESENT WHEN THE TEMPS ARE BELOW ABOUT 40 F OR SO. IT IS HEARD WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES OVER SMALL BUMPS AT A LOW SPEED. EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED ON A GRAVEL ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED FACE, NECK, SHOULDER, AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. *TR
