Two problems related to suspension have been reported for the 2014 Toyota 4Runner. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Toyota 4Runner based on all problems reported for the 2014 4Runner.
The vehicle is equipped with the x-reas system which inter links the struts on opposite corners of the vehicle to provide flatter cornering. Toyota says the system should last well over 100,000 miles. But there are numerous complaints that the shocks start leaking from the center joint at less than 50,000 miles. Leaking shocks need to be replaced as a full set of 4. The cost for this repair is prohibitive, in excess of $3000 currently. Loss of shock performance can cause excess bounce and sway, potentially causing a crash.
Vehicle shakes "violently" upon putting brakes while driving at or above 60 mph. I took my vehicle in to Toyota several times for this same problem and they keep telling me it's a brake pad/rotor problem. The first time I took this in to Toyota my vehicle had maybe 28,000 miles, I took it in today 3/20/17 and it has 35,000 and they said the same thing so I took it to a brake repair shop and explained what Toyota had said, the employee and actual owner of the shop told me "I would love to take your money however it will not fix the problem because your brakes and rotors are perfect. That is actually what the another shop employee told me when I took it in back in 2016. I am hoping if anyone else out there has this same problem they will find a solution before something terrible happens to anyone.
