Chronological view of owner reports
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.
PASSENGER SIDE LOWER DOOR SEAM IS RUSTING. NOTICED RECENTLY. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT & FREQUENTLY WASHED. PREMATURE RUSTING. ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT. RUST IS ALSO PRESENT ON REAR LIFTGATE HATCH. VEHICLE STATIONARY.
REAR UNDER CARRIAGE / FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION THAT SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDER NORMAL WEAR. TRUCK WAS EARLIER RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF LEAF SPRINGS DUE TO POTENTIAL FAILURE FROM CORROSION. LIKEWISE, DO BELIEVE FRAME, LIKE SOME EARLIER MODELS OF TACOMA'S, SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. FIRST SIGNS OF CORROSION/RUST BEGAN @ 2014 AND HAS BEEN PROGRESSING STEADILY.
I HAD MY GREAT GRANDSON IN REAR BACKSIDE ON RIGHT HAND SIDE, PLACE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON WHILE HE WAS WITH ME UNTIL I RETURNED HIM TO HIS MOTHER. TRIED TO REMOVE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS UNABLE. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA OF MCDONOUGH THEY STATED THAT SOMETHING WAS BROKE. I PURCHASE THIS TRUCK FROM OVER $38,000.00 IN 2011 NEVER USED THE CHILD LOCK UNTIL MY GREAT GRANDSON. TOYOTA OF MCDONOUGH SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TELLING ME THAT I WILL BE PAY AROUND ABOUT FIGURE OF $300.00 TO 600.00 TO HAVE THE PART REPLACE. I FEEL THAT SINCE I HAVE NEVER USE THIS UNTIL I HAD MY GREAT GRANDSON WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTINUE TO HAVE MY SERVICE DONE AND NOT JUST THAT I HAVE ALSO PURCHASE A 2014 CORILLA OVER $27,000.00 BOTH VEHICLE BRAND NEW. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEED BACK ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS REAR CHILD SAFETY LOCK.
TOYOTA 4 RUNNER HAS A VIBRATION KIND OF AN ENGINE VIBRATION. IT HAPPENS WHEN WE ACCELERATE THE SUV. IT'S NOT THE TIRES.
