2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

REAR SEAT COVER HAS REPEATEDLY COME LOOSE. HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES FOR REPAIR BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX / RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SEAT COVER IS MADE OF THE "SOFT TEX" SIMULATED LEATHER AND HELD IN PLACE WITH J HOOKS. LAST SERVICE WAS ON 6/13/16 INVOICE TOCS486186 - FRANK TOYOTA, NATIONAL CITY, CA

MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRAIL PREMIUM WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN SEPT. 2015. AS DESCRIBED IN TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE AREA AROUND AND INCLUDING THE SCOOP FEATURE ON THE CENTER OF THE ENGINE HOOD VIBRATES QUITE NOTICEABLY AT SPEED AND HAS SINCE NEW. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM ON MY PREVIOUS 2000 4RUNNER SR5, SO I CAN ONLY GUESS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS USING A THINNER AND FLIMSIER METAL. WHILE THIS MIGHT BE DONE TO SAVE WEIGHT, IT SURE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A POORLY MADE AND ENGINEERED VEHICLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND FIX THIS ISSUE ON FUTURE 4RUNNER MODELS. I JUST HOPE THAT THIS VIBRATION DOESN'T CAUSE ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE HOOD OR THE PAINT. IF IT DOES IN THE COMING YEARS, I'LL BE BACK TO FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER SHOULDERS, NECK, BACK AND KNEES WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND OUT AN ENGINEER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

I HAVE A NEW 4RUNNER THAT I WAS NOT PLEASED WITH HOW IT WAS HANDLING. I TOOK IT INTO AN INDEPENDENT WHEEL ALIGNMENT SHOP TO GET AN OBJECTIVE OPINION. THE RESULTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT. 10 OUT OF 14 OF THE SETTINGS WERE OUT OF SPECIFICATION. I PAID TO HAVE THESE ITEMS FIXED. MY CAR NOW TRACKS BETTER. CORNERS BETTER AND HAS A MORE STABLE RIDE. THESE SETTINGS WERE SO BAD I NOW REALIZE THAT I WAS IN CAR THAT WAS NOT AS SAFE AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I HAVE SUBMITTED THIS ATTACHMENT TO TOYOTA USA AND THE DEALER AND THE ONLY RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY WILL FILE MY COMPLAINT. I AM AMAZED THAT TOYOTA DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD REMEDY AS PART OF A NEW CAR SALE.

VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW WITH 600 MILES ON IT. WIFE DRIVING AT SPEED OF 40 MPH, MAJOR SIDE IMPACT DAMAGE WITH OVER $9000 DAMAGE AND SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.. WONDERING WHY??

PURCHASED NEW A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRAIL PREMIUM. SINCE NEW IT HAS A HORRIBLE HOOD SHAKING / VIBRATION. HAVE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE HOOD METAL IS TOO THIN AND THAT IT IS THIS WAY TO SAVE WEIGHT AND FOLD IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SHAKES AND VIBRATED UP AND DOWN SO MUCH I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAINT WILL START CRACKING AND OR HAVE THE HOOD VIBRATE OFF. I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES, AND NEVER HAD A HOOD SHAKE LIKE THIS. NEVER THE LESS TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP SAY IT IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. PRETTY UPSET I PAID $41,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT CORRECT RIGHT OFF THE FACTOR LINE. WAITING FOR HOOD TO FLY UP AND CAUSE ME TO NOT SEE ROAD AND HAVE ACCIDENT OR WORSE.

RODENT CHEWED THROUGH INJECTOR 3 WIRE. 4 DAYS LATER, AFTER I PAID FOR THE FIRST REPAIR...SEVERAL OTHER WIRES WERE CHEWED THROUGH. THE PREVIOUS CONNECTOR REPAIRED WITH "RODENT DETERRENT TAPE" WAS NOT DAMAGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT A ROCK CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 11/09/2017*CN

AT ALMOST ALL SPEEDS AN ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY HOOD BOUNCES UP AND DOWN / FLEXES EXCESSIVELY LIKE ITS GOING TO RIP OFF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD 12 CARS IN MY LIFE AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE HOOD IS NOT PROPERLY SUPPORTED IN THE MIDDLE. THE HOOD BOUNCING UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY I AM WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO BREAK DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AND THE HOOD TO FLY OFF.
