2014 Toyota 4runner Other Problems

Three of your four door locks stop working on and off, making it impossible to open the doors with either your key or key fob. This is a serious safety concern — your car was broken into because of the faulty locks, and you won't be able to access your vehicle in an emergency. Fixing this typically requires replacing the faulty door lock actuators or entire lock assemblies.

Your left rear brake caliper failed and needed replacement. Additionally, both front struts and both rear shocks were found to be worn out and required replacement. These repairs involve replacing the brake caliper on the left rear wheel and both suspension components.

Your door lock actuators are failing on multiple doors, starting with the front passenger side ($950 repair) and now the front driver side won't lock either. The replacement actuator on the passenger side is also malfunctioning, causing the door to open and close improperly. This creates a security risk since unlocked doors make your vehicle vulnerable to break-ins. Fixing this will require replacing the faulty door lock actuators, likely at a dealership or with an aftermarket replacement part.

Your 4Runner's hands-free calling system produces heavy echo and distortion that makes it impossible for you or the other person to understand each other during calls. This makes the hands-free feature unusable while driving. The issue likely involves the vehicle's microphone, audio processing system, or Bluetooth connectivity, which may need troubleshooting, recalibration, or component replacement.

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.

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.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AND WIND COMING FROM THE SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND REMAINING GLASS WAS POINTED AWAY FROM THE ROOF. THE VISOR FOR THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. TEMPERATURE ABOUT 90F AND NO CLOUDS, TIME OF DAY ABOUT 6:00PM. SHE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH.

MY VEHICLE IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT THAT THE FRAME IS DEFAULTS AND EXCESSIVELY RUSTED AND WILL NOT PASS ANOTHER INSPECTION, IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2000 TACOMA THAT HAD THE FRAME RECALL. WE HAVE OWNED SIX TOYOTAS AND WHAT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. I AM AWARE OF AN ACQUAINTANCE IN AUGUSTA MAINE THAT YOU HELPED BY REPLACING THE FRAME AND HE PAID $1000 TOWARDS THE EXPENSE. I AM JUST AN AVERAGE CONSUMER PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP. I CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION.IF NEEDED. YOUR HELP WOULD GO S LONG WAY TO PURCHASE FUTURE TOYOTAS AND PROMOTE YOUR BRAND WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED COWORKERS AS WELL AS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. PLEASE HELP.

Your 4Runner's blue paint is peeling, similar to issues Toyota has recalled for white paint on this model. You're concerned that Toyota should cover this defect under warranty or recall rather than requiring you to pay for repairs out of pocket.
