The contact owns a 2024 Toyota 4runner. The contact stated while driving at 25 mph, the rear passenger-side seat belt strap detached. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that the failure occurred due to an outside interference from the misuse of a child safety seat. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,038.
Last October we purchased a new 4 runner (VIN jtesu5jr6r6305337) and to date we have a little over 200 miles on it. The primary issue surrounding the lack of usage is that the running boards “platform" does not extend far enough out from the body. My wife has an extremely hard time both entering and exiting the vehicle, as the surface area is too narrow at 2 3/4". Even placing your foot parallel with the board is a challenge. On exiting there is a safety hazard as one's heel slips off of the rounded edge. The boards are six inches wide with three inches under the rocker panels. Not certain why this was designed this way as there is zero adjustment on the brackets. This is a potential slip and fall issue. /users/johnbuonaiuto/desktop/screenshot 2025-08-09 at 1. 36. 55?pm.
