2015 Toyota 4runner Other Problems

Your door locks frequently fail to work with either the key fob or physical key, leaving you unable to enter or exit your vehicle reliably. You may only be able to access your 4Runner through the trunk at times. Even after the dealer replaced the driver and passenger door locks under warranty and out-of-pocket, they failed again within weeks, creating a serious safety concern if you need emergency exit or entry.

Your engine is stalling and hesitating during highway driving, causing loss of power steering and difficulty controlling the vehicle. This happened twice — once briefly while climbing a mountain at 70 mph, and again for about 10 seconds in heavy traffic, nearly causing accidents. The owner believes this started after a fuel pump recall part was improperly installed at a Toyota dealership. The fix will likely involve the dealership properly reinstalling or replacing the fuel pump assembly and related components.

Your 4Runner's frame and radiator support cross member are showing signs of rust. This is a structural issue that should be inspected and addressed to prevent further corrosion and potential structural weakness. Repairs will likely involve rust removal, treatment, and possibly welding or replacement of affected frame components.

THE DRIVER DOOR ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING. $700 TO FIX. APPARENTLY THEY ALL WILL GO AT SOME TIME. COST WILL BE $2800.00! APPARENTLY THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL!

PURCHASED A 2015 IN DEC. 2014.. IN 2015 (NOT SURE OF THE FIRST DATE BUT KNOW IT WAS WHEN GOING TO GRANDDAUGHTER'S SOCCER GAME) WE TOOK A TRIP USING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RADIO. THEY SYSTEM STOPPED FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS AND STARTED AGAIN BUT HAD TO REENTER THE NAVIGATION. WE ASKED ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKE A CELL PHONE THAT STOPS IN SOME HOT SPOTS. IT DID NOT HAPPEN A LOT AT FIRST BUT EACH TIME WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A HOT SPOT. THE PROBLEM KEPT GETTING WORSE. WE INQUIRED AND WAS TOLD SERVICE WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTICS ON IT BUT A COST. WE WERE NOT WILLING TO PAY OVER $100 TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. AND NOW IT IS 2018 AND WE ARE CHECKING ON THE INTERNET SEEING THAT IT IS NOT HOT SPOTS BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. ONLY OUR WARRANTY IS OUT AS OF DEC. 2017. 2 MONTHS.. IT IS A DISTRACTING WHEN IT GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GET DISTRACTED. WE TAKE A MAP AND PRINT OUTS FROM GOOGLE DRIVE TO HELP WHEN IT GOES OUT. AS PER REFERENCE NUMBER: TSB#5B0035-16... MANY TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS...#1802282446... THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP... EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM IN THEIR PRODUCT ON SEVERAL VEHICLES. THOUGHT TOYOTA WAS BETTER THAN THIS...

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA 2015 4RUNNER FOR MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT SERRA TOYOTA IN BIRMINGHAM,AL ON 3/15/17. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THE CAR HAD TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD - NO THAT IT DID NOT HAVE THESE AIRBAGS. I KNEW TO ASK THIS QUESTION BECAUSE OUR HONDA 2011 CRV HAD THEM AS WELL AS OUR 2010 LINCOLN MKX. I HAVE RECEIVED 2 LEGAL NOTICES FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS CONCERNING MY DAUGHTER'S TOYOTA 4RUNER. I TYPED IN MY DAUGHTER'S VIN NUMBER ON THE WEB SITE WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM AND IT SAID ACTIVE RECALL ON MY DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE. IT SAID RECALL INCOMPLETE ON CAR. MANUFACTURER RECALL # 14V828. SUMMARY SET 014. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A DEALERSHIP COULD SELL A CAR TO A 19 YEAR OLD THAT HAS SAFETY ISSUES. SHE DRIVES IT BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE IN VA. PLEASE CHECK ON THE STATUS OF HER CAR FOR ME. WHEN BUYING HER CAR, ALL THAT I CARED ABOUT WAS THE SAFETY OF IT. I WILL BE EXTREMELY UPSET IF HER 2015 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER HAD RECALL ISSUES THAT HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. I WILL BE FURIOUS IF IT HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS. IT WAS SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/14/17. AT THAT TIME I ASKED A PERSON IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SERRA TOYOTA IF IT HAD TAKATA AND I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER.

THE LOCK ON DRIVER SIDE WORKED ERRATICALLY, PUT IN SHOP COST OVER $600. WEEKS LATER PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE KEY. INSTALLED MYSELF $300, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH 40,000 MILES. THE CONCERN IS IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD HAVE A DIFFICUT TIME REMOVING A PERSON FROM THE VEHICLE . THE PART IN BOTH CASES WAS THE DOOR ACTUATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A MILDEW ODOR WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE OCCUPANTS BECAME ILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ODOR WAS CAUSED BY MOLD COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

1ST INCIDENT - REVERSING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME, WANTED TO PULL UP SOME SO CHANGE THE GEAR TO DRIVE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO REVERSE BACKWARDS FOR A COUPLE OF FEET.
