2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

My 4Runner was involved in a collision where the airbags did not deploy, and I was knocked unconscious from hitting the steering wheel. The vehicle now shows an SRS fault code and is subject to an open Takata airbag recall. Toyota corporate initially stated they would cover towing for the recall repair, then reversed that decision, claiming an airbag fault does not prevent the vehicle from starting. Because of the failed airbag deployment and recall defect, the vehicle is unsafe to drive until the recall is completed. Toyota’s refusal to provide towing prevents me from safely completing a federally mandated safety recall. I am requesting NHTSA assistance in ensuring Toyota fulfills its obligations under federal recall law.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Toyota regarding their failure to notify me of a recall related to the clear coat peeling from my vehicle’s paint. I was never informed of this issue through a recall notice, nor did it appear in my vehicle’s history. I only became aware of the recall when a friend, who owns the same make and model in the same color, experienced the same problem and was able to have it repaired under the recall. When I contacted my local Toyota dealership, I was told that I am now outside the recall window and that the repair can no longer be completed under the recall. However, had I been properly notified in a timely manner, I would have taken my vehicle in for the necessary repairs. I believe Toyota’s failure to send me the recall notice has unfairly prevented me from receiving the repair I was entitled to. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in addressing this matter, as Toyota’s lack of proper notification has left me with an unresolved defect. Please advise on the next steps I can take to ensure Toyota takes responsibility for this issue. Thank you for your time and assistance.

I was told the paint on my 4 runner was recalled, but because it was a salvage title they where very rude and told me sorry but they can't fix it. I was so upset because when you spend 40,000. on a vehicle and something recalls it shouldn't matter if its a salvage title or not. So I left. I recently was getting some work done at a different dealership because a friend works there and I was explaining to him the situation and he said that isn't right and I needed to look more into and see about having Toyota fix the problem. I have sense called them back and they are still giving me the same run around and are still very rude. I haven't asked for a manager or anything but wanted to see if there was anything I could do first. It just upsets me because it runs so well but the paint looks horrible on it and it isn't my fault they have bad paint on there. Please help me

Car keeps running out of gas while driving, due to faulty readings on the gas gauge and electronic readout. I have been driving this car for 11 years and never ran out of gas until running out 3 times in the past 2 months. Today was the 3rd occurrence, gas gauge showed over 1/4 tank and 85 miles to go until empty. Previous incident was similar with 1/4 tank and showing 65 miles to go. (Pictures attached). The miles to go reading seems to be increasing with each incident (1st incident showed 25 miles, second incident 65 miles, then 85 miles today). No low fuel indicator light or warning has appeared on ANY of these 3 occasions. This is a very dangerous situation potentially causing loss of life as drivers have SECONDS to navigate their vehicle off the highway, while quickly losing speed and loss of steering. No indication that fuel is low, while instead providing incorrect (inflated) dashboard data. Vehicle is going into the shop tomorrow. Found multiple reports of this same incident on [XXX] [XXX] ) which indicate problem with sending unit. Please review and consider further action or communication to other 4Runner owners.

Frame is starting to rot despite undercoating. Has several soft spots.

I own a 2010 Toyota 4Runner VIN # [XXX]. I bought the vehicle late last year and found that the vehicle paint was peeling. I took my 4Runner to the one and only dealer here in Laredo, Texas. They told me to take it to their company body shop. The body shop looked at my 4Runner, took pictures and submitted everything to Toyota. This was late November or early December 2021. I called the body shop back in January. The body shop manager told me it had been approved to paint all the metal panels on the truck, but that I would have to wait until May of 2022. In May of 2022 I physically went back to ask the body shop manager about the truck getting painted. He said that it would not be painted until August, but that if I did not want to wait I could “take it somewhere else”. After waiting all of this time I did not want to start all over again somewhere else, so I told him that I would leave it there. Sometime in late June or early July 2022 I physically went to check with the to see if my truck could be painted, and the body shop manager told me that he did not know when but I was the "fourth one in line". I did not want to lose all my “wait time” and have to start all over again. I am very concerned that my 2010 4Runner will not get the paint job that Toyota already knows it needs before the expiration date of December 11, 2022. I have reached out to Toyota Brand Engagement Center and have spoken to them to exhaustion about the fact that it appears that my truck will not get painted (case# [XXX]). Toyota refuses to provide me with documentation that the claim for paint was submitted and approved (documentation I can use to protect myself should the expiration date come and go without getting painted). Toyota also refuses to extend the expiration date of the paint program to allow for paint job approvals that have not been completed. I have tried to make a claim on my own insurance which was subsequently denied. They said to contact Toyota. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5

The undercarriage of my truck is so rusted, that parts are starting to fail. I can not install new tires on the truck at this point until $3000 of rust-damaged parts are replaced and possible frame replaced. I was told that the damage is so extensive, the costs outweigh the repairs, and that in the near future the truck will not be driveable.

Heated seat on drivers side was hot but heater was turned off. After a 1/2 hour drive smoke started coming out of the center console. Driver parked and exited the vehicle and called for help. Fire department arrived and put water on the fire then disconnected the battery. The insurance company determined the vehicle is a total loss. There were no personal injuries. Toyota Case #211004001272 I am not pleased that Toyota is treating this as a claim instead of a safety concern when I clearly stated this is a safety concern.

IN 2017 I WAS REPORTING THAT THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. IN 2018 THE SOCKET ASSEMBLY COMPLETELY FAILED AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY REPAIR (MILAGE WAS LESS THEN 100,000). IN MARCH 2021 THE BAKE LIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE FAILURE IS INTERMITTENT BUT THAT THE SOCKET ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

03/04/2019- I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DRY ROAD IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH. A GRADUAL TURN, AND I STRESS GRADUAL, CAME UP AND UPON TURNING THE WHEEL TO TAKE THE SLIGHT CURB THE VSC/ ANTI SLIP BRAKING KICKED IN AND THE COMPUTER 'SENSED' I LOST CONTROLLED AT WHICH POINT IT TOOK OVER AND LOCKED THE BRAKES UP. THIS ACTION TAKEN BY THE COMPUTER TOOK AWAY ALL OF MY CONTROL, STRAIGHTENED MY CAR OUT SENDING ME OFF THE ROAD INTO A DRIED UP RIVER BED TOTALLING MY TRUCK COMPLETELY. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, FRONT END DESTROYED, THANK GOD I WASNT SERIOUSLY INJURED, BUT TRUST ME WHEN I SAY IT COULDVE BEEN MUCH MUCH WORSE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IVE READ MULTIPLE, ALMOST IDENTICAL STORIES INVOLVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS, UNPREDICTABLE AND HAS LEFT ME VEHICLELESS IN A FINANCIAL BIND. I WILL ALSO MENTION THIS WASNT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED UNWARRANTED. THIS JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE FIRST TIME IT CAUSED SERIOUS ISSUES.

MY FRAME IS RUSTING AWAY. THE UPPER REAR CONTROL ARM BRACKET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. THE FRAME IN FRONT OF AND AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM IS RUSTING AWAY WITH A LARGE HOLE JUST IN FRONT OF THE BRACKET. IN A MATTER OF TIME THE BRACKET WILL SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME. THE FRAME WELD SEAMS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE ABOVE THE REAR AXLE ARE EITHER MISSING OR FULL OF POROSITY. ALSO, THE REAR SWAY BAR RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE RECENTLY.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT SLOWER SPEEDS THE ENGINE SEEMS TO QUIT FOR ABOUT 5SEC THEN IT COMES ON AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE CONTACT, AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, PLANNED TO INSPECT AND TEST THE BRAKE SYSTEM HIMSELF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES HAD BEEN BLED EXTENSIVELY; HOWEVER, THE REAR BRAKE CYLINDER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED ANY BRAKE SYSTEM RECALLS; HOWEVER, A TSB WAS ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2013 (T-SB-0141-13) FOR THE BRAKES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED: FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS THE STATIONARY AND MOVABLE WINDOWS AROUND MY FORERUNNER THE RUBBER SEALING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THEM, THAT PREVENTS WATER FROM GOING INSIDE THE BODY AND THE DOORS, HAVE BEEN CURLING UP THE FALLING OFF. SINCE THERE IS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE DOORS THIS CAN CAUSE AN EXTREME ELECTRICAL FIRE, AND POSSIBLY INTERFERING WITH THE COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM THAT COULD EFFECT THE VEHICLE DRIVING ABILITY. ALL FOUR DOOR OUTSIDE LOWER WINDOW RUBBERS HAVE FALLEN OFF WHICH HELPS PREVENT WATER FROM GETTING IN WHEN IT RAINS. I'M, NOT POSITIVE BUT COULD THIS CAUSE, IN RAIN STORMS, LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM? MY '99 TOYOTA FORERUNNER ALL THE WINDOW RUBBERS ARE STILL PERFECT, WHICH PREVENTS RAIN WATER FROM RUNNING DOWN INTO THE DOOR OR THE WINDOW PANELS. THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. SINCE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME DUE TO DISABILITY, I'M UNABLE TO REPLACE THEM. MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I WENT DOWN TO 2 MILES AND HOUR WHILE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. VIN NUMBER NOT VALID UPDATED 10/26/18*JB

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V024000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. TOYOTA OF SANTA FE (1500 ST MICHAEL DR., SANTA FE, NM) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT RATED HIGH, EVEN THOUGH IT COST MORE MONEY THAN COMPETITOR MODELS. RELIABILITY IS WORTH IT TO ME. HOWEVER, THE FRAME STARTED HAVING SIGNIFICANT RUST AFTER JUST A FEW YEARS AND WAS CAUSING SOME EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. FIRE SHIELD RUSTED OFF AND WAS REMOVED. NOW THE MASSIVE SKID PLATE BRACKET RUSTED OFF. TOYOTA SERVICE JUST REMOVED THE ENTIRE UNREPAIRABLE SKID PLATE DUE TO THE LEVEL OF RUST. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO ATTACH TO. THE MECHANICS SAID THEY WERE AFRAID TO SCRAPE OR CHIP ANY MORE RUST BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID THAT OTHER STUFF WOULD FALL OFF AND MAKE THE VEHICLE EVEN MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY INDICATED THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THEIR OFFICIAL TOYOTA REPAIR ESTIMATE TO FIX THE RUSTING, FAILING FRAME AND MAKE IT SAFE AGAIN IS $17,783.71 WHICH IS HALF THE VALUE OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE! TOYOTA CORPORATE SAID, SORRY, WE HAVE RECALLED MANY OTHER RUSTING FRAMES ON OUR OTHER MODELS BECAUSE THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU, WE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND YOUR 4RUNNER THAT YOU PAID $34,500 FOR. I AM TOLD THAT IT IS THE SAME FRAME AS SOME OF THE OTHER RECALLED MODELS. THE TOYOTA CORPORATION TRIED TO COMFORT ME BY ENSURING ME THAT THEY LOGGED MY CASE WILL CONTACT ME VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL IF THEY EVER DO DECIDE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND MAKE GOOD ON MY $17,000 PILE OF UNSAFE, USELESS RUST.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED AL HENDRICKSON TOYOTA (5201 W SAMPLE RD, COCONUT CREEK, FL 33073, PHONE NUMBER: (954) 972-1100) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL IS MUCH TOO SENSITIVE. AS A TURN IS TAKEN AT SPEED THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS TAKE OVER AND CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF TURNING ON A CURVE TO THE RIGHT, IF IT SENSES A TIRE ROTATION DISCREPANCY IT STEERS THE VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS REPRODUCIBLE DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS IS THE WAY THAT IT IS DESIGNED AND NOT AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. CHANGING TIRES HELPS SOMEWHAT BUT DOES NOT MITIGATE IT ENTIRELY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES TO TOYOTA UNDER WARRANTY AND NOTHING IS FOUND AND NOTHING IS DONE TO IMPROVE IT. ONLINE HELP DIRECTLY WITH TOYOTA LIKEWISE HAS NOT LEAD TO ANY IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY REASONS INCLUDING DIRECTING THE VEHICLE INTO TRAFFIC AND IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING TO SUDDENLY HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEN NEGOTIATING A TURN, PARTICULARLY ON NARROW ROADS OR SHARP TURNS. I EVEN HAD TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (AUTONATION TOYOTA ARAPAHOE, 10531 E ARAPAHOE RD, CENTENNIAL, CO 80112) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY UNTIL 2019. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE SATELLITE RADIO ANTENNA HAS FAILED. IT ONLY RECEIVES A SIGNAL WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS, BASED ON CHAT BOARDS. THE DEALER "FIX" RUNS OVER $1000, AND INVOLVES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF ANTENNA HARNESS; UNDERNEATH HEADLINER.

TAKATA RECALL - OVER A YEAR AGO TOYOTA SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO HAVE ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS IT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY DUE TO AN AIRBAG DEFECT. FOR OVER A YEAR I HAVE COMPLIED WITH THIS DIRECTIVE AND NOT BEEN FULLY ABLE TO UTILIZE MY VEHICLE AS IT IS NOW ONLY A FOUR PERSON VEHICLE VS. 5 PERSON. RECENTLY I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE STATING THAT TOYOTA WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THE NOTICE DIRECTED ME TO CONTACT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE SEVERAL PARTS REPLACED. UPON CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALER I WAS TOLD, "THEY SHOW THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER AT THE MOMENT SO THERE IS NO ETA ON THE EXACT DATE OF WHEN THEY WILL BE IN BUT THERE WAS ONE ORDERED FOR YOU SPECIFICALLY SO WHEN THE PARTS DO COME IN WE WILL CONTACT YOU." SO BASICALLY I WAITED OVER A YEAR FOR TOYOTA TO TELL ME THEY COULD FINALLY FIX THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE ONLY FOR TOYOTA TO TELL ME THEY REALLY CAN'T FIX IT AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL BE ABLE TO. THAT'S NOT OKAY. IT'S FALSE ADVERTISING AND A FARCE TO CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN ASKED TO NOT USE THEIR VEHICLE AS PURCHASED. ADDITIONALLY, MY VEHICLE HAS 95,000 MILES ON IT AND I WILL WANT TO SELL IT SOON (PREFERABLY BEFORE IT HITS 100,000 MILES, BUT WHO IS GOING TO BUY A VEHICLE THAT CAN'T BE USED IN THE MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS INTENDED. THIS ISSUE IS BEING UNFAIRLY ADDRESSED.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM STILL AWAITING THE DEALER IN OUR CITY TO TELL ME IT IS ALRIGHT TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. SINCE ORIGINALLY GETTING THE RECALL NOTICE IN 2016 AND RECEIVING A SUBSEQUENT RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE PARTS FOR MY VEHICLE ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE AND I NEED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED. IT IS WORRISOME THAT CAR OWNERS ARE STILL BEING FATALLY INJURED AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE DEALER SAY THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE USED DUE TO THE POSSIBLE CASE OF INJURY IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. IS THERE SOME WAY TO GET THIS RECALL REPAIR DONE MORE QUICKLY?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE YET TO GET A RECALL NOTICE OR ANY SOLUTION/FIX FOR MY 4-RUNNER. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT WHEN SOMETING WAS GOING TO BE DONE OR WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO FIX THE AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD FIX IF ANY AND TO JUST NOT RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY 4-RUNNER TILL THEY FIXE THE RECALL.
