2024 Toyota 4runner — Known Issues & Recalls

Your 4Runner's running boards don't extend far enough from the body, making it difficult to step up into the vehicle and creating a safety hazard when stepping down—your heel can slip off the rounded edge because the stepping surface is only 2¾ inches wide. The boards are 6 inches total width but only 3 inches extend beyond the rocker panels, with no adjustment available on the mounting brackets. Fixing this would likely require replacing the running boards with extended aftermarket versions or modifying the existing brackets for greater extension.

Your rear passenger-side seat belt strap detached while driving at 25 mph, with no warning light. The dealer found this happened because a child safety seat was used improperly and damaged the belt attachment. The seat belt attachment point may need inspection or replacement to restore proper safety restraint function.

I'm unable to provide a translation because the complaint references an attached document that isn't included in the information provided. Please share the specific details of the structural issue you're experiencing with your 2024 Toyota 4Runner so I can help translate it into clear, plain English.

While slowing down for an exit on dry pavement, your brakes vibrated severely and didn't slow the vehicle effectively, forcing you to swerve and hit a retaining wall at 24 mph to avoid hitting another truck. Your airbag failed to deploy in the collision, and no warning lights or error messages appeared before the braking problem occurred. You've filed a case with Toyota regarding the brake failure and airbag non-deployment. The brake system may need complete inspection for fluid leaks, worn pads, or internal failure.

Your 4Runner's brakes make a very loud squealing noise, especially when braking normally in reverse, and you've had to change how you drive to avoid it. The noise is less pronounced when you brake hard, but normal braking causes the brakes to squeal loudly. The fix may involve inspecting the brake pads, rotors, and brake hardware for wear or contamination, and potentially replacing brake pads or having the brake system serviced.

Your 360-degree camera system displays a distorted image that makes it difficult to see yellow and white lines, pedestrians, and obstacles while parking. The system isn't working properly and doesn't provide a clear view as it should.

Your factory Yokohama Geolander G96 tire experienced an inner sidewall blowout on the driver's rear, with no visible puncture or road debris damage. The dealership service representative refused to properly inspect the tire by dismounting it, instead dismissing the failure as impact damage based on normal wheel casting marks found on all five wheels. The tire appears to have failed structurally rather than from external impact, and Yokohama has a documented history of recalls for this tire line involving sidewall geometry issues. Resolution would likely require a full tire inspection by a qualified technician, possible warranty claim with the tire manufacturer, and potentially replacement tires.

When you adjust the beep volume setting for your key fob lock/unlock sounds in your 4Runner, the wireless key fob lock and unlock buttons stop working entirely — though your key fob will still start the car and work when you're near it. To fix this, you'll need to visit a Toyota dealership to have them reset your key fob's wireless functionality.
