The blizzard pearl paint on my Toyota 4runner is peeling in large patches, exposing the undercoat and compromising the vehicle’s integrity. Toyota issued a customer support program (csp) acknowledging this as a known defect affecting blizzard pearl paint, but I never received the notification.   Read details...

The Hatchback/liftgate Support Device problem

Toyota high lander, 2011. The power liftgate arm on the real trunk is detached from the liftgate. It looked to me as if the screw became stripped and came out of the hole. And they said it isn't covered and they will charge to the owner and it costs around $3500.   Read details...

The Hatchback/liftgate problem

Upon attempting to lift the rear liftgate, the door would not stay in open position. The day before 03/08/2013, it worked fine. It appears the rear liftgate struts failed. This is dangerous because if these struts failed in the open position it would have resulted in serious injury.   Read details...
