2014 Toyota 4Runner Owner Complaints

YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN STARTING MY 2014 4RUNNER THE TRAC OFF LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED BY RODENTS (CHEWING, DROPPINGS). AN ELECTRICAL WIRE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY CHEWED THROUGH. I TURNED THE DAMAGE INTO MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT AM OUT A DAYS WORK, $50 DEDUCTIBLE, $100 DEPOSIT FOR RENTAL VEHICLE AND $5.10 TAX DAILY ON THE RENTAL. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALL DUE TO THE SOY BEING ADDED TO THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL WIRING (AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS SOY BASED) LITERALLY RINGING THE DINNER BELL FOR VERMIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, REAR VIEW CAMERA AND OTHER FUNCTIONS WILL FREEZE AND THEN RESET. IT WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN SOME INSTANCES CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE SYSTEMS THE SYSTEM CONTROLS. THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ON MULTIPLE FORUMS BUT TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO ADDRESS A POSSIBLE RECALL. IT ISN'T OBVIOUS WHAT IS CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO FREEZE FOR MULTIPLE MINUTES AT A TIME.

MY VEHICLE IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT THAT THE FRAME IS DEFAULTS AND EXCESSIVELY RUSTED AND WILL NOT PASS ANOTHER INSPECTION, IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2000 TACOMA THAT HAD THE FRAME RECALL. WE HAVE OWNED SIX TOYOTAS AND WHAT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. I AM AWARE OF AN ACQUAINTANCE IN AUGUSTA MAINE THAT YOU HELPED BY REPLACING THE FRAME AND HE PAID $1000 TOWARDS THE EXPENSE. I AM JUST AN AVERAGE CONSUMER PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP. I CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION.IF NEEDED. YOUR HELP WOULD GO S LONG WAY TO PURCHASE FUTURE TOYOTAS AND PROMOTE YOUR BRAND WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED COWORKERS AS WELL AS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. PLEASE HELP.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AND WIND COMING FROM THE SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND REMAINING GLASS WAS POINTED AWAY FROM THE ROOF. THE VISOR FOR THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. TEMPERATURE ABOUT 90F AND NO CLOUDS, TIME OF DAY ABOUT 6:00PM. SHE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH.

CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAGS I HAVE RECEIVED 2 RECALLS ON THIS CAR BOTH TIMES I CALL THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT

12/28/2016

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES, FLUTTERS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MOST NOTICEABLE DRIVING OVER 60 MPH. *TR

12/18/2013

VEHICLE HANDLES POORLY,WORSE ABOVE 55 MPH,RAINING,OR WINDY. VEHICLE WANDERS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT COURSE CORRECTIONS TO STAY IN LANE. TIRES ARE FEATHERING ON OUTSIDE EDGES AND ARE PREMATURELY WORN OUT AT UNDER 10,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD ON THIS VEHICLE HAS CAUSED EYE STRAIN, DIZZINESS AND HEADACHES AFTER DRIVING LONG DISTANCES OR COMMUTING REPEATEDLY. IT IS UNNOTICEABLE DURING SHORT TRIPS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD WITH A NEW TOYOTA GLASS FACTORY WINDSHIELD, AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THERE IS EITHER A WARP IN THE GLASS OR SOMETHING ABOUT THE YELLOW TINT USED THAT IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE SEVERE EYE STRAIN. DRIVING OTHER VEHICLES ON MY COMMUTE DO NOT EFFECT MY EYES AT ALL, IT IS DEFINITELY JUST THIS WINDSHIELD.

THE MOON ROOF GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BESIDE US. THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND THAT WAS LIKE A GUN SHOT. OPENED THE COVER ON THE MOON ROOF AND NOTICED THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED. SHORTLY THERE AFTER SEVERAL LARGE PARTS AND NUMEROUS SMALLER PIECES FELL DOWN. THE REMAINING SECTION OF GLASS WAS BOWED UP.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET ON 12/24/18 WHEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM (ENGINE, ELECTRICAL ETC.) COMPLETELY QUIT. I WAS NEAR A STOP LIGHT, SO I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND RESUMED TRAVEL. ON 12//27/18 I WAS IN MOTION IN A PARKING LOT AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME NO SYSTEMS WERE OPERABLE INCLUDING LIGHTING AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART WITH THE IGNITION KEY. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES THE VEHICLE RESPONDED TO THE IGNITION KEY AND RESTARTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. NO ISSUES WERE FOUND DURING THE TEST AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY DID AND AUDIO SYSTEM UPDATE AND I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP ON 12/28/18.

12/30/2018

TOYOTA SENT OUT A SAFETY RECALL NO. 20V-012 FOR THE FUEL PUMP STATING "IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." YET, THEY HAVE NO REMEDY NOW, AND NO REMEDY IN THE FUTURE TO FIX THIS. *TR

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW, THE BRAKES ON MY 2014 TOYOTA 4RUNNER GRAB WHEN ANYTHING OTHER THAN LIGHT PRESSURE IS APPLIED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, NO MATTER THE SPEED. INITIALLY I THOUGHT MAYBE MY MODEL DIDN'T COME WITH ABS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT IT DOES. BUT IT ALSO COMES WITH BRAKE ASSIST, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY CONCERN. WHEN THE TRUCK COMPUTER INTERPRETS YOUR PRESSURE AND SPEED OF THAT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IS "URGENT", BRAKE ASSIST TAKES OVER, AND IN MY OPINION, LOCKS UP THE BRAKES! THIS IS TERRIBLY DANGEROUS!!!!! THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I FELT THE SUV WOULD TURN OVER BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL ON DRY PAVEMENT AND ALL OF THE MOMENTUM HAS NO WHERE TO GO. I COME TO A SCREECHING HALT AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HAS TO BELIEVE THAT I ALMOST REAR-ENDED THEM. AT LEAST IF THE PAVEMENT WAS WET I WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOVER FROM A HYDROPLANE SITUATION. I AM TAKING MY 4RUNNER INTO THE DEALERSHIP THIS SATURDAY TO SEE IF THE SENSITIVITY CAN BE ADJUSTED OR EVEN JUST TURNED OFF. THIS CONCERNS ME ENOUGH THAT I'M ACTUALLY SHOPPING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

MY 2014 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER HAS WHAT I CALL A DEATH WOBBLE. AS YOU START DOWN THE ROAD AND GET UP TO SPEED, 55-65 MPH, THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD A FEW MECHANIC SHOPS LOOK AT IT AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. THEY HAVE DONE ALIGNMENTS, CHECKED TRANSFER CASE (4WD), CV AXLES ON FRONT, CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, SWAPPED TIRES, REPLACED ROTORS AND ROAD FORCE BALANCED TIRES. THE LAST MECHANIC SAID I SHOULD PARK IT UNTIL IT'S FIGURED OUT BUT I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS ONE AND IT'S MY ONLY VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT DOES THIS AND I HAVE HAD ABOUT 20 VEHICLES! I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE A BUNCH OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS IN ONLINE 2010-2018 4 RUNNER FORUMS. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END. SOMEONE IS GOING TO WRECK BECAUSE OF THIS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF AND LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIPS ISN'T ANY HELP AT ALL. THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM EITHER AND JUST PAWN IT OFF UNTIL A WARRANTY RUNS OUT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP FIGURE THIS OUT. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT I'M REALLY STARTING TO BE SCARED TO DRIVE IT.

Stumbling/Studering and hesitation when accelerating took it to dealership and they performed a tune-up and complete fuel system service when to pick it up and still doing the same thing. Dealership rechecked it and said Torque converter was faulty. Had to replace transmission.
