1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2019 Toyota 4Runner

Failure Date: 01/24/2024

My vehicle is throwing the abs light and slamming my breaks. I’ve taken it to Toyota, it’s not showing any codes so they can’t diagnosis it to fix the issue. It may go two weeks and drive fine, and then it does it again. Whether I’m going 10mph or 55mph, it will do this. Very scary and very unsafe.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2022 Toyota 4Runner

Failure Date: 08/13/2022

On numerous occasions, while driving in a straight line with our adaptive cruise control on, our 2022 Toyota 4runner will automatically actuate the vehicle's brakes when approaching a slower or stationary vehicle that is either to the left or right, but not directly in front of our vehicle. This sudden speed reduction has almost caused any following vehicles to almost collide with the back of our 4runner. It has happened to us at speeds between 30 mph and 65 mph. When it happens, one has to quickly tap the brakes to deactivate the adaptive cruise control then get on the accelerator pedal to avoid a collision with any following vehicle. We have taken our 4runner into two separate Toyota dealerships on three separate occasions to have this problem diagnosed and repaired. The first dealership told us repeatedly that there is no issue. The second dealership pulled data from our vehicle and made an adjustment to the 4runner's forward camera system. Unfortunately, the day after this adjustment was made our 4runner irrationally applied the brakes when we were driving 35 mph on a straight road with no other vehicle in front of us. The problem is not fixed. We are now waiting for a response from Toyota corporate.
