Owners/service Manual Problems of Toyota 4Runner

Frame issue. Crack measuring approximately 8 inches long was discovered when a brake service was being performed. Crack location was located on passenger side frame rail rearward of the curved section of frame where it meets the straight frame section. Toyota motor sales was notified as per owner's manual. No service advisory has been found on this issue. Owned this 2006 4runner for less than 1 year, paid $8000 for vehicle it now is junk. Please notify other owners of this issue. Vehicle cannot be driven, citing possible frame breakage and subsequent loss of control as the result. Thank you for this reportng system. Potential buyers should thouroughly have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic and/or certied welder before purchase. Hopefully my loss of a substantial amout of money for purchase, remaining loan amount and repairs during the time of ownership will be enough tuition for others to learn from this poorly designed and questionable steel quality used in this vehicle. Look for something else. My chevy suburban of the same vintage has not had this kind of issue.

The lock actuators on my 2014 Toyota 4 runner have failed multiple times causing the door to not lock when prompted or unlock when prompted ( must be manually done). This is a safety issue if one had to exit the car in an emergency situation. Also the security of the vehicle is compromised.

Door lock actuators keep going out resulting in safety issues. Doors cant be locked or unlocked with remote or by pressing button. Must be locked and unlocked manually. There have been numerous complaints of this issue mainly with only this year model. Toyota will not fix the problem, dealer will not fix the problem if warranty has expired. Multiple reports of people that have had it fixed and it tears up again. Dealer wants est $800 per door to fix and 4 of my 5 doors have stopped working. This is a major safety issue, especially with children in backseat. Dealer even agrees that recall should be issued. I have contacted the dealer multiple times, and have contacted Toyota who stated that they cannot issue a recall, it must be done here. So I am begging that you research this issue on 2014 Toyota 4runners and issue a recall for the door lock actuators. My issue started approx 11/2 yrs ago and they keep quitting 1 at a time.

Drivers door latch mechanism would not permit driver to exit the vehicle. Door would not unlock, though all electric and manual actions to unlock the door appear to work, latch handle would not move. This condition was normal for the vehicle when new if the door was locked. All other doors in the vehicle would open from the inside if locked. Drivers door latch failed prohibiting driver from exiting the car and was replaced. Replacement latch would permit emergency exit from the vehicle if the lock was activated.

I bought a new 2003 Toyota 4 runner on 8-23-03. The vehicle was delivered to me with the "vsc track" warning light on. During the test drive, I inquired about the light and was told by the salesman that is was part of the traciton control system. I was led to believe that the light being on was a normal condition. The vehicle had 25 miles on the odometer when I took delivery. When I got the vehicle home and read the owners manual, I found that the light was not supposed to be on and that it was an indicator of a potential problem with the vsc system. The vsc system is a skid control system that monitors the vehicle and under certain conditions, modifies the vehicle performance by controling the throttle or brakes in an attempt to prevent skid, or loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle has less than 1000 miles on it, and 3 repairs have been attempted by the dealer, none of which have fixed the problem. So far they have replaced the ecm, the steering wheel position sensor, and a disc which the steering wheel position sensor "reads" to determine the steering wheel position. The problem still exists and I am about to return the vehicle for a fourth attempt at repair.
