Since new, I have documented at least 20 occurrences of lack of acceleration, several times almost resulting in an accident. All occurrences happen from a stopped position, then applying at least half accelerator pedal, the truck will initially accelerate, then pause for several seconds, very scary when crossing traffic or going through an intersection. Happens on turns and when going straight.
Toyota knowingly uses a soy based wire coating that attracts rodents. Something chewed through the wiring harness making my vehicle shake uncontrollably and act very strange. This is a huge safety concern because what if the damage was only partial and then through normal use like highway driving the wire fully comes apart disrupting any and all safety features.
Bought a used 2016 4runner. Had it 3 weeks and a rodent chewed the wires on the main wiring harness. Toyota (that I have 2 warranties through) does not cover rodent damage even though the material that they use attracts rodents apparently from my research. I have $3500-$5500 in damage and my car has been at the dealership waiting for repair for 3 weeks now. The insurance company is fighting them on the repair and I am stuck without the vehicle. I do not have that kind of money to repair it myself. Toyota should be responsible for repairing and replacing the wires that they used since it is encouraging the damage! the vehicle was sitting in my carport. I live in the nicer part of a large town.
2016 Toyota 4runner with less than 5000 miles every once in a while I have noticed a lack of response to throttle when making a right hand turn. By this I mean no increase in engine rpm's proportional to throttle position. I have shrugged it off as my imagination. Now I have had two occasions where after coming to a stop at a stop sign on a steep incline where when I released the brake pedal and stepped on gas the vehicle rolled back even though I had at least 1/4 throttle applied. Not a good situation if there is a vehicle behind you.
This vehicle is junk. Has no power, excessive vibration, constant ticking, all over the road, cruise control speeds up uncontrollably, sits lopsided, extremely loud, brakes and steering lock up. ,lacks heat, poor visibility . All these and more occurr while starting and driving vehicle.
