Gulf States Toyota, Inc. (GST) is recalling certain 2026 4Runner vehicles. The load carrying capacity modification label states the incorrect load carrying capacity. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Vehicle information center showed "Hybrid System Failure" while driving in heavy rain for 4 hours. All 4 wheels began violently shuddering and speed slowed down (limp mode?). It was very difficult to control vehicle during this time, and I was looking for an exit on the [XXX] in heavy traffic with no place to pull off. I found an exit some miles (~7 miles?) away and parked in an Outlet Mall (XXX Outlet shops). Repeated tries to start the vehicle still showed "Hybrid System Failure" on the vehicle information center. After about 1 hour, I tried starting the vehicle again and it was normal. I took it to a Toyota dealer the following day (Monday) and have attached the report. Vehicle had 5,000 miles on it and it was purchased XXX. The wheels violently shuddering, with no place to pull over in heavy truck traffic made this an exceptionally dangerous situation. I suspect that these hybrid vehicles cannot handle rain.

**Vehicle:** 2026 Toyota 4Runner SR5- -700Miles I am reporting a persistent vibration issue that appears to come from the engine bay and is transmitted through the driver's side floorboard into the driver's left foot and leg. The vibration is most noticeable when the transmission is engaged and the vehicle is under load. If the transmission is disengaged while the vehicle is still moving, the vibration disappears, even though the driveshaft, axles, and other drivetrain components are still rotating. This suggests the issue may be related to the engine or transmission rather than the tires or other rotating components. My daily one-way commute is approximately 30 minutes. By the time I arrive at work, I experience a noticeable vibration sensation in both feet, especially my left foot. The sensation continues for more than an hour after driving and is concerning enough that I believe it could have health implications if the issue continues over time. I have found reports from other owners describing similar vibration concerns, which suggests this may not be an isolated incident. I believe this issue deserves investigation because continuous vibration transmitted directly to the driver's foot and leg can affect driver comfort and may have potential health and safety implications during extended driving. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this complaint and determine whether this condition represents a broader vehicle defect requiring investigation.

The Toyota 4Runner (5th and 6th Generations) lacks a dedicated 'Approach Lighting' function, creating a critical personal safety and trip-and-fall hazard during nighttime entry. Users are forced to navigate the vehicle's perimeter in total darkness, increasing the risk of injury from unseen obstacles or security threats. I am requesting an investigation into this lighting logic omission and a remedy via a software update to the Lighting Control Module to ensure owner safety for all generations of the 4Runner platform.
