TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
BRENT BROWN TOYOTA IN OREUM UTAH PERFORMED A 60,000 MILE CHECK UP ON OUR 2002 4-RUNNER, THE STAFF WERE GREAT AND THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED CORRECTLY. AFTER DRIVING HOME OVER FIVE HOURS FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO OUR HOME, I THOUGHT THAT THE 4-RUNNER SEEMED TO BE RIDING ROUGH. UPON CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE, I FOUND EACH TIRE TO BE OVER INFLATED AT 70 POUNDS PER TIRE. I HAD A LOCAL TIRE SHOP, "CANYON LANDS TIRE" CONFIRM THE OVER INFLATED TIRES AT MORE THAN 70 POUNDS IN EACH TIRE. CANYON LANDS TIRE DID VERIFY THAT INDEED THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS AT 70 POUNDS AND MORE. THIS OVERSIGHT ENDANGERED MY WIFE AND I. THE TIRES COULD HAVE RUN OFF THE RIMS RESULTING IN INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WILL BE CALLING BACK. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
VEHICLE IS NOT HANDLING RIGHT; BODY FEELS VERY LOOSE AND UNSTABLE GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP WHO INDICATED THAT FRONT, RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINT WAS LOOSE, WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT BALL JOINT WAS ALREADY REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHEN PURCHASED IN 8/05 AS PART OF THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE WORK WAS ORIGINALLY DONE AND AFTER 3 HOURS THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE BALL JOINT DID NEED REPLACING. HOWEVER THERE IS ONLY A 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE REPLACEMENT AND THEY WANTED OVER $400 TO REPLACE IT. SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT I GET OVER 4 YEARS ON AN ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE BALL JOINT BUT ONLY 2 YEARS ON THE SUPPOSEDLY GOOD ONE? *TR UPDATED 09/28/07. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CONCERNING A DEFECT WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINT IN 2002 TOYOTA 4RUNNERS (REF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V225000). I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON 9 MAY 2006 TO BEGIN THE PROCESS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. MY SITUATION IS UNIQUE. I'M IN THE MILITARY AND CURRENTLY STATIONED IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA. THERE ARE NO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTH KOREA, HOWEVER, LEXUS (OWNED BY THE SAME PARENT COMPANY) IS LOCATED IN SEOUL. IT TOOK THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS TIL AUG TO NOTIFY ME THAT MY ISSUE HAD BEEN FORWARDED TO TOYOTA HQ IN JAPAN FOR RESOLUTION. IN SEPTEMBER I FOLLOWED UP SINCE NO ONE HAD CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE SITUATION. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT TOYOTA HQ HAD UP TO 4 MONTHS TO WORK THE ISSUE. TOYOTA WOULD ALSO NOT PROVIDE THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE OFFICE IN JAPAN HANDLING THE ISSUE AND ALSO WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE VENDOR THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE RECALL WORK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS I'M DRIVING MY WIFE AND ONE YEAR OLD CHILD IN THIS VEHICLE WITH AN IDENTIFIED DEFECT IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO HAVE TOYOTA QUICKLY RESOLVE THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *NM

DURING THE MONTH OF 08/06, THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND AND AN UNKNOWN LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE LEFT TURNS, OR SWITCHED LANES. THIS OCCURRED MANY TIMES, PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON 08/28/06. WHILE CHANGING LANES AT 55 MPH ON A DRY HIGHWAY ON 08/28/06, THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. ALSO, A VIBRATION WAS FELT COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE PULLED OVER AND WAS TURNED OFF. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CONTACT DROVE TO WORK, CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
ON APRIL 17TH AT 5:45 AM WHILE DRIVING ON I-465, I FELT A LOSS OF STEERING IN THE WHEEL. I DID NOTHING TO THE WHEEL, AS ONE WOULD NORMALLY DO WHEN DRIVING ON ICE. I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE HIGHWAY DIVIDER AND THEN CAREENED OFF THE ROAD. A CARMEL POLICE OFFICER CAME TO THE SCENE AND AN ACCIDENT REPORT WAS ENTERED. FRONT BALL JOINT(S) FAILED AND FRONT WHEEL FOLDED UNDER VEHICLE; THIS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF STEERING AND CRASH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HIT THE CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDER AND THEN BOUNCED ACROSS THE INTERSTATE AND OFF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED AT THE REPAIR FACILITY IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS THE FAILURE OF THE BALL JOINT. IT APPEARS THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT(S) WERE NOT REPLACED. THE OLD ASSEMBLY(S) DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. THERE IS A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF RUST ON THE ASSEMBLY(S) AND NUTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DISTURBED. I SPOKE WITH A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE ID WAS A PART OF THE RECALL SSC 50J OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V225000. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE WORK HAD BEEN COMPLETED AT OBRIEN TOYOTA ON SEPTEMBER 9TH 2005. THE SSC 50J COMPLETION LABEL WAS NOT APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST PART OF MAY AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, DAN JOHNSON, WHO ASSURED ME THAT THE PART HAD BEEN REPLACED ON BOTH FRONT SUSPENSIONS. HE STATED THAT THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BY JOE, WHO WAS ONE OF HIS BEST MECHANICS. MY COMPLAINT IS EITHER THAT THE RECALLED PART WAS NOT REPLACED OR THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART DOES NOT WORK. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THIS SITUATION COULD BE FATAL, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS INJURED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED A FAULTY RHEOSTAT IN THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE RHEOSTATE FAILURE CAUSES THE BUTTERFLY VALVE TO CLOSE, THUS NOT LETTING ENOUGH AIR INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. DUE TO THE LACK OF AIR, THE ENGINE "STALLS OUT", CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE VERY QUICKLY. REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, WITH NO FURTHER INCICENTS OCCURING.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DT: 2002 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER - THE OIL IS GETTING THICK AND GELLING. THE VEHICLE IS USING A LOT OF OIL, AND BLOWING BLACK SMOKE CAME FROM THE TAIL PIPE. THE DEALER SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SOME TOYOTA OF THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODELS, AND TOYOTA DID HAVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE CONSUMER COMPLAINT WEBSITE. IT STARTED TO BLOW THE BLACK SMOKE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A OIL GELLING PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE MOTOR WOULD HAVE TO BE TORN TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THIS WOULD BE AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP THE CONSUMER WITH THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE, AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED DUE TO THE MAINTENANCE THAT HAD DONE ON THE VEHICLE. *AK

SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 4 RUNNER, I NOTICED A DISTINCT SHAKING AND SHUDDERING OF THE FRNT END AND ESPECIALLY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT REALLY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE T TAKE HE VEHICLE OVER 65 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS ALWAYS TOLD THE SAME THING. THERE IS NO PROBLEM . I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR, NEW BRAKES AND YET THE CAR CONTINUES TO VIBRATE TO THE POINT THAT I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE STERING IS ABSOLUTELY MADDENING AND I FEAR A FATAL CRASH. TOYOTA FOLSOM LAKE REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING. THE 2002 TOYOTA WA RECALLED FOR THE SEALS FAILING ON THE WINDOWS. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE SEALS. THEY NOW HANG DOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE. GREAT IMPRESSION FOR TOYOTA MANUFACTURING COMPANY.WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE WHOLE CAR GOES INTO SPASMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART. THE TOYOTA 4 RUNNER IS A PIECE OF TRASH AND DEFINITELY A LEMON FROM DAY ONE. I FOR ONE, WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JAPANESE MADE CAR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTIES. I HAVE HEARD EVERY EXCUSE MADE TO MAN, AND IN THIS CASE, WOMAN. WHAT THEY FAIL TO REALIZE IS WORD OF MOUTH IS THE BEST FORM OF ADVERTIZING AND SALES IN THE WORLD. WOULD YOU BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA? NOT ON YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO COSE ME AND MY CHILDREN GREAT BODILY HARM. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE HIGHWAYS OF THE USA. FORTUNATELY WE SURVIVED A TIRE BLOWOUT AND PUT ALL NEW TIRES ON THE CAR.
