2015 Toyota 4RUNNER Problems, complaints & recalls

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota 4Runner. The contact stated that while braking from 40 MPH, the instrument panel flickered until the vehicle completely stalled. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V659000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 199,000.

Drove the car on empty tank and I had issues the following day after I refilled $60 gas.Car stalling/ hard to turn on, doesn't stay on.

Front Coil Spring Cracking (TRD Pro Models) I observed cracking of the front coil spring, a design defect in the spring's termination and how it sits on the top hat and bottom perch. This can lead to a sudden loss of control and a crash. Furthermore, pieces of the broken spring coil can fly out underneath the vehicle and cause serious injury to person and/or damage property, when vehicle is driven at highway speeds.

My transmission went off with no warnings and my vehicle has been serviced at the Toyota dealer since I bought it and they never mentioned to me there was an issue with my transmission which is very odd. So I was wondering is this is normal or if there others owners with the same problem. Now I don't have a vehicle because the transmission is in back order and I can't even get a rental car because it wasn't an accident or a recall. So I would like for you to look into this issue for this Toyota model.

I was just in my second front end collision and for the second time, my front airbags did not deploy. The first instance, I hit a deer head on going 75 mph on the interstate. Last week, I T-bone F150 at 35mph - hard enough to make that truck spin around - and had injuries to my head, knee, and hand, and yet the airbag did not deploy once again. In both cases, my car sustained over $10,000 and damage to the front end.

All of a sudden it was so difficult to steer I ended up off my driveway and almost took out my chain link fence. Two hands on left side of the steering wheel and yanked with all my strength. Then across my drive to the left. If this had happened turning onto a highway someone could have been killed.

The door lock actuators have failed on both the driver side and passenger side front doors. Unfortunately this is a know issue across this model along with others and can be found in several forums. The problem is that the actuator gets stuck and at one point I was locked inside my car and once I was locked outside my car. If there was an emergency it could put mine and others safety at risk if the lock fails. The vehicle was inspected by Toyota who stated the actuators need to be replaced at $805 a piece and will not fix it themselves even though it is a known problem. This happened within the last month.

Rusted Frame and radiator support cross member!

My 4 runner was hit on the passenger side while crossing a intersection. The truck that hit my 4 runner was going at least 40 miles per hr and was a heavy duty pickup truck. On impact the airbags did NOT deploy but the 4 runner went haywire.

Steering shudder at 58-70 MPH has become almost unbearable. No warning lights whatsoever - ever! Vehicle has had this issue since 30K miles (110K currently) and Toyota always is "unable to replicate the issue" or tells people this is common on the 4 Runners and Tacoma's. I won't go to dealers anymore since Toyota knows it's a problem and they direct the dealers not to report to keep the issue cluster diluted. Any visible wheel shake, no matter what speed should not be considered "common". Just replaced all 4...

Three of the four locks do not work on a consistent basis. The fourth lock works on occasion. Neither the key fob or the actual key will open the doors on the vehicle. The front driver door lock was replaced while under warranty, but broke again in under a month. The front passenger door lock was replaced at an out of pocket cost, but it also in a stopped working in a matter of weeks. There are times when the only access to the vehicle is through the trunk. The safety for all passengers is at risk because you...

Noticed the frame on the passenger side of the vehicle is rusting and I'm concerned about a safety issue. I know there was a rust-related class action on earlier model Toyota's. The rust is most prevalent on the solder joints, which has me concerned about driving safety.

'The "KDSS" (kinetic dynamic suspension system) valve located on the frame under the driver's door had corroded to the point where the oil in the system had begun to leak out. The warning light did come on the dashboard days prior to the leak. Vehicle was taken to a Toyota dealership, where they assessed there was low pressure in the system. The service advisor advised that if the system loses all the fluid, the suspension and handling may be affected when steering or braking at high speeds or when making sharp turns.

Steering wheel shake and vibration at approximately 55-65mph. Alignment and multiple wheel balancing appointments have not fixed this problem.

This is our third Toyota 4Runner with the "X-REAS Sport Enhancement Suspension System". There has been some type of failure of this system on all 3 of the 4Runners we have owned. The latest problem with this suspension system on our 2015 4Runner was discovered during a Toyota dealership service appointment at 42,091 miles. It was recommended the full X-REAS system, front and rear shocks with lines and actuators be completely replaced since both front shocks are leaking fluid at a cost of $4,000. Since this is...

Toyota 4 runner had a recall for the fuel pump. I have been having starting issues with it ever since. The power is good and the starter tries to turn the vehicle over. But the vehicle won't start. I have taken it to multiple locations for service through out the chicago land area. Also once the vehicle finally does start. The R.P.M.s will suddenly increase and decrease to the point that the vehicle turns off while in drive. I can provide print outs when the vehicle gets fixed, if ever. I purchased the vehicle as CPO.

The dealership is not responsive to our request to have the car repaired.

The fuel pump failed during driving which was described in a recall but toyota will not fix or reimburse the repair

My children and I almost died twice! 4 Runner almost caused serious injury or death. 9/24/20, 6:15 Pmish, vehicle in motion for approximately over an hour, 70mph cruise control set, beginning to climb up a large mountain westbound interstate 8. Engine hesitates/stalls briefly, steering became difficult, car shuddered, was difficult to maintain control of vehicle, only lasted seconds. At a slower speed engine back up and all was fine, assumed it was not a major issue. Continued driving the vehicle for the next two...

I have had 3 sets of tires on my 4runner and each set has worn down prematurly despite purchasing good quality tires with a 60k mile warranty. I have the tires rotated, balanced and aligned at the required service intervals and as needed. The vehicle does not stay aligned very long. I even went to multiple tire shops to get different opinions. I've been told by multiple tire shops that the 4runners are difficult to adjust and do not hold an alignment. Each set of 60k warranty tires only lasted 30k miles and I was...

When the vehicle is put in reverse the computer screen rear view camera image becomes blury, the image shakes rapidly and static with neon lines would appear distorting the camera footage. It made the rear camera screen view unusable and unreliable. This happened off and on for over 2 years and during each service I would ask toyota of san luis obispo, ca to diagnose and fix the problem. They would tell me they were not able to duplicate the problem and that they updated the computer chip and it "should be good"....

The front driver seat plastic skirting clips broke causing the seat skirting to twist upward against the drivers leg. Seems like a design flaw where the power seat will move more than the plastic clips can handle resulting in wear then broken clips. Toyota of san luis obispo, ca replaced the skirting while the vehicle while was under warranty. One month later the clips broke again. Toyota of san luis obispo, ca told me there was no fix for this and it would just continue to happen and a second replacement would not be approved.

This is a toyota limited model that has a proprietary xreas suspension. This car has been regularly serviced at the intervals recommended by toyota at their dealership. At approximately 55,000 miles the service tech found that all four struts were leaking and required $4,500 to repair and replace. A visit to a second dealership confirmed the diagnostic outcome provided by the first dealer. I contacted toyota who stated the warranty had lapsed and expressed no desire to investigate why at 55,000 the suspension...

I contacted nhtsa but haven't heard back. It's been over 2 months now and nothing from toyota about the recall.
