general problems of the 2005 Toyota 4Runner

Upon moving with the flow of traffic at about 30 to 35 mph a car shot from a driveway straight in front of me causing me to hit that driver in the rear quarter panel of the passenger side putting him into a 360 spin not causing my airbags to deploy at that rate of speed in my opinion that is a huge fault of my system from my vehicle at that rate of speed my airbags should have went off to protect me as if I didn't have my seat belt on but thank god I always wear my seatbelt.

This Toyota dealer at plaza Toyota 2699 nostrand aveue brooklyn new york 11210 told me there is a recall on my 2005 Toyota 4runner sr5 4. 0l v6 . I said to the service manager what recall I never get a letter from NHTSA stating that. Can you verify if this Toyota has a recall thank you for your cooperation.

Inquiring about a recall notice received back in Feb. 2016 and still no info. On fixing airbag problem. Do not understand why Toyota is taking so long to get parts out to local dealerships to fix a dangerous problem.

Nhtsa recall number: 16v065 recall date: February 2, 2016 - it has been 10 months since this recall was issued with no resolution by Toyota. My complaint is the amount of time it is taking to fix this recall and/or trying to ignore it because my vehicle is an older model.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 Toyota 4runner. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v065000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Cracks in the dashboard began to appear of which I first noticed after 90k miles in the area of the fr passenger air bag. I first thought the air bag may be defective and ready to explode. As the cracks increased in number and size, they began to appear all over the dashboard. I notified both the local dealer and the main Toyota office in California, they made an offer to replace the dashboard but I would have to cover more than half of the cost. They did not admit to any problem that Toyota is responsible for. I was informed though that Toyota used recycled plastics in the manufacturer of some of the interior parts. At that point, being uneducated in the use of recycled plastics I began to do some research and, this is what I found; Toyota has used recycled plastics for the manufacturer of its automobile and truck parts for sometime and are considered experts in the recycling field. I also found that due to environmental concerns we have different types of recycled plastics being used "virgin, recycled and degradable. " this has presented a problem of which my Toyota 4runner is a victim, through no fault of my own. The users of recycled plastics in the manufacture of long life span products (my dashboard) has to be sure that degradable (short life span) plastics feedstocks do not get mixed in together. What you have if you allow this to happen is a dashboard that disintegrates before its time, like a bottle made to be disposed of in a landfill. I believe this happened since Toyota is in the business of using all of the different types of plastics feedstocks for manufacturing including creating equipment that is used in all aspects of the recycling industry. I believe this is a safety issue since a faulty, disintegrating dashboard could affect the safe use of my airbag in the case of an accident. The correction of this should not be on the consumer.

A small crack started to appear on the dashboard above the instrument panel back on may of 2011. As time passes by the crack has been growing past the top part of the gauges towards the passenger side. New cracks have also appeared around the air vents, above the radio and the passenger air bag area. I have tinted windows and always use a sun visor when vehicle is parked. I believe this is caused by the swelling of the high density foam used to manufacture the dashboard.

When accelerating it feels like the frame shifts on the body lots of rust,, as well as the power steering was a little low I added power steering fluid next thing you know it stopped working and driver seats is falling apart and collapse in woodson within itself as well as the airbags didn't go off upon rear-ending a vehicle they came to a sudden stop in front of me at least 25 miles per hour.
