Toyota 4Runner 2011 — Problemas relatados

I am writing to report a serious safety hazard regarding the factory paint and primer on my 2011 Toyota 4Runner (Paint Code: [ 070 for Blizzard Pearl]). The vehicle is experiencing severe, widespread paint delamination where areas of factory paint are peeling cleanly away from the metal body panels while driving. This is a known manufacturing defect involving a chemical failure of the factory primer, which Toyota previously acknowledged under Customer Support Program ZKG. This manufacturing failure has created distinct, immediate safety hazards on public roadways. Blinding Glare / Driver Distraction: Because the paint has completely peeled away in sections on the hood, the bare, highly reflective eco-coat/metal underneath is completely exposed and getting worse day by day. During peak daylight hours, the sun reflects off these large exposed areas directly into my line of sight, causing sudden, blinding glare that severely impairs my vision while operating the vehicle. Toyota has refused to remedy this manufacturing defect case number : 260612000716, citing that the vehicle is outside of their arbitrary calendar-based extension program (ZKG), despite the fact that the underlying chemical failure and resulting safety hazards remain active and dangerous.

Received a letter about recall letter about peeling paint. Paint was ok at time of letter. A year later the paint is now peeling from every panel. Toyota says the campaign has ended and there is nothing they can do. But customer relations also said there are many people calling in after the fact with the same peeling problem. I would like Toyota to repaint the vehicle because they are aware that they have a problem. I will be trading my vehicle in for a new one in a year and my vehicle will not be worth anything in its current shape. Thank you

The paint on the outside of my 2011 Toyota 4Runner has recently been peeling significantly in various areas of the car, including the roof, the door below the window, and the front driver side panel. These areas are prone to rust, and many inhibit the safety of the car due to rust. Due to living near the ocean (within a mile), the salty air may increase the rust due to the paint peeling in various and significant areas of the car.

The Blizzard Pearl paint on my Toyota 4Runner is peeling in large patches, exposing the undercoat and compromising the vehicle’s integrity. Toyota issued a Customer Support Program (CSP) acknowledging this as a known defect affecting Blizzard Pearl paint, but I never received the notification. As a result, I missed the deadline to have the issue corrected, and Toyota has refused to assist. This widespread issue impacts resale value and could potentially lead to rust or corrosion. There should not be a time limit on addressing a manufacturing defect of this nature. Toyota should be held accountable for providing a lasting remedy, especially when customers like me were unaware of the CSP timeline.

Brakes ABS system failure affect the rear traction not feeding the brakes rear lines could be related to the proportioning sensing valve or other devices and the dealer says that the part it’s discontinued and service center says that the part cost around $2,000 plus labor. It’s very dangerous that someone have this issue on the road.

The conectors wire of the fuel pump was burn, inside the fuel pump the wire is melted. I thing is danger because the gas can involved.

Frame rotting, brake line connections rotting

I was driving my truck and needed to use the horn to warn another driver of a potential collision. My horn did not work. I later noticed that the horn only stopped working when the steering wheel was in the forward position. I researched this online, and it was stated that this was a known issue with many Toyotas including the 4runner. It is the clock spring in the steering wheel which needs replacement. Another issue is the price Toyota is charging for the clock spring at $800 which may deter customers from fixing it. I am fixing mine and ask for nothing except consideration in forcing a recall. This is dangerous. I can send you the defective clock spring if you would like it. I bought the vehicle but live in Canada.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota 4Runner. The contact stated as he arrived at his residence after driving 40 MPH, his father noticed that something was hanging underneath the vehicle. The contact stated that he noticed that the gas tank strap had detached, and the main guard was rusted. The contact replaced the gas tank strap himself. The contact stated that the hatch release was corroded. The contact also stated that the bottom of the liftgate of the vehicle was severely corroded and had holes. The contact stated that the inside of the front passenger’s side door of the vehicle was corroded. The contact also stated that the skid plate was severely corroded. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who took photos of the failure and sent a report to the district manager. Then, the vehicle was taken to South Hills Toyota Service (2403 Washington Rd, Canonsburg, PA 15317) who advised the contact to report the failure to the manufacturer and the manufacturer would follow up with him. The manufacturer followed up with the dealer and informed the contact that the dealer advised that the failure was due to the climate. The vehicle was then taken by Rohrich Toyota (2020 W Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15226) who referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000. Consumer stated rust has eaten through the interior metal of the door and has made its way to the back side of the exterior metal of the door.

The frame is rusting out. The vehicle and steering shake excessively. It increases with speed and feels as if the suspension is braking or the wheels are coming off. Feels unsafe to drive. Has been this way since I purchased the car. Has gotten progressively worse.

I TURNED IN THE IGNITION AND WASN'T EVEN AROUND THE BLOCK FROM MY HOME, WHEN I NOTICED MY SEAT OVERHEATING ALONG WITH A STRONG BURNING ELECTRICAL/WIRE SMELL. THE HEAT WAS HOTTER THAN THE HIGHEST SETTING BECAUSE IT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE TO REMAIN SEATED. I CHECKED THE POWER SWITCH, WHICH WAS OFF, THEN TOGGLED IT ANYWAY TO SEE IF IT WOULD TURN OFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS THE SEAT WAS TOO HOT AND FEARED IT INJURE ME AND/OR WOULD IGNITE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, THE HEATING STOPPED. HOWEVER, I GOT BACK IN AND STARTED TO DRIVE, IT HEATED UP AGAIN. I RETURNED HOME TO LOOK UNDER THE SEAT BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING UNUSUAL, EXCEPT FOR THE STRONG BURNING WIRES SMELL. ALSO, MY SKIN WAS RED WITH A LINGERING STING IN TWO AREAS WHERE THE HEAT WAS MORE INTENSE. I CONDUCTED ON ONLINE SEARCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED OTHERS EXPERIENCED THE ABRUPT OVERHEATING SEATS.

THE SUNROOF GLASS SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND HEARD GLASS HITTING THE TOP OF THE SUN SHADE. I INSPECTED THE TOP OF THE SUNROOF AND NOTICED THAT THE GLASS WAS PUSHED OUTWARD, AS IF IT EXPLODED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO HAIL AND NO OBJECTS ABOVE THE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE FALLEN. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN AN OPEN DRIVEWAY WITH NO TREES.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE SEAT STARTED GETTING HOT. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE SWITCH WAS OFF. IT WAS, BUT I TURNED IT ON THEN OFF, JUST TO MAKE SURE. THE SEAT HEATER STAYED ON AND GOT HOTTER, AND I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I STOPPED, GOT OUT, AND CHECKED UNDER THE SEAT BUT COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING UNDER THERE. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME, BUT HAD TO ROLL MY WINDOWS DOWN THE SMELL WAS SO BAD...AND THE SEAT WAS UNPLEASANTLY HOT! MY HUSBAND DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. HE PULLED THE FUSE THIS MORNING...I'LL SEE IF THAT FIXED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY.

2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

TAKATA RECALL: WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG ON OUR 2011 4RUNNER OVER A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE INQUIRED AND OPENED AN ISSUE FOR IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WE ARE VERY FRUSTRATED, AS THIS IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE WE USE WHEN COMMUTING AND GOING ON TRIPS, BUT CANNOT DO SO. WE WERE OFFERED A RENTAL, BUT I AM CONCERNED WITH LEAVING OUR VEHICLE ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT. WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY, STATING THAT THE COMPANY WHO MAKES THE AIR BAGS, TAKATA, HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY IN THE US. WE ARE STUCK N A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE NOW AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, JUST TO GET LOANER VEHICLES FOR A FEW DAY TRIPS WE HAVE DONE. THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND WE WANT THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2011 AND BEEN TAKING IT TO ALLEN TOYOTA IN GULFPORT, MS FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. LAST WEEK, AT THE 120,000 MILE OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED TOYOTA HQ AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2016. I ASKED WHY I HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED PREVIOUSLY, SINCE . (I HAVE NOT CHANGED ADDRESSES). JADE, THE TOYOTA REP SAID THAT THE DEALERSHIP PROBABLY DID NOT INFORM ME BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD A REPLACEMENT PART. SHE ALSO SO THAT IT WAS THE NHTSA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM ME OF THE RECALL. I FIND THE FORMER REASON A POOR EXCUSE SINCE IT RESULTED IN ME AND MY FAMILY DRIVING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR. IF THE LATTER REASON IS TRUE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NHTSA DID NOT SEND ME A RECALL NOTICE. THANK YOU FOR ANY INVESTIGATION, EXPLANATION AND FORMAL COMPLAINT NOTICE TO TOYOTA.

TOYOTA TAKATA RECALL AND SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY: 2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER HORN STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THIS VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO NHTSA, IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. ON SEPT 2, 2017, TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY AS CAUSE OF HORN FAILURE. GIVEN THE FAULTY SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY AS THE CAUSE OF THE HORN FAILURE AND THE APPARENT CAUSE OF THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION, THIS FAULTY PART RAISES TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES: NO HORN, POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE AIRBAG. FOLLOWING THE DEALER SERVICE, WE FILED A CONCERN WITH TOYOTA ON SEPT 5, 2017. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE INSISTED ON SEPT. 12, 2017 THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.
