2016 Toyota 4Runner owner complaints

Driving last week and check engine light along with traction control light came on. Hooked my ob2 scanner to port but came up with no codes. Drove it a few more days and eventually lights went out. Fast forward a week and lights came back on. Same routine with the ob2 but this time the code p2443 came up. Googled it and " secondary air injection system switching valve stuck closed bank 2". Found out there is a huge history with this problem not only with my 4runner but with tacomas, tundras and sequoias. With certain years of tundras and sequioas, Toyota has paid for this fix. Why not the 4runners and tacomas??same problem!! This whole thing is a big sham . It will cost about $2000 plus for this issue to be fixed. Where I come from, this is robbery. Knowingly selling vehicles with a expen

Massive fuel leak from the soy-based fuel lines. Allegedly an animal chewed thru them which was attracted by the soy-based product (rather than the petroleum based lines of the past) I have great fear that the incident will repeat itself. Fuel lines sprayed out about 8-10 gallons of fuel during 30 minutes while driving.

I have a 2016 Toyota 4Runner at 143,011 miles. When it hit 125,000 mile mark the backup camera stopped working intermittently. The screen in the car goes blank. Turning the car on/off or changing gears does not affect this issue. It’s random and seems to becoming more frequent as more miles are put on. I will take it in however when I called them they said since it’s not a known issue I will have to replace it and it’s not cheap!

Driver door actuator not working to lock door. Still works to unlock. Light and audio doesnt work either when locking. Have to use key. This occures when trying to lock the door with keyless entry.

Sunroof exploded while driving. Not around any cars.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota 4Runner. The contact stated that while attempting to reverse, the rearview camera displayed a blank screen. An independent mechanic or dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,293.

Whenever I go over potholes and bumps my car makes clunking noises and sounds horrible.

X-REAS sport enhancement system is failing in a vehicle (2016 Toyota 4 Runner) with 58,000 miles that has always been driven on city streets. Front struts and rear shock absorbers are both leaking and require replacement.

The 2016 4runner trd pro is a limited production model. Toyota source the suspension components from an outside vendor. My right front spring failed, breaking I four places. The car has 41,000 miles and has only been used in normal highway driving -- no off-road. The front spring design is deficient. There is no taper at either end of the coil spring, leaving a knife edge touch the adjacent coil -- right where the spring broke. There are numerous examples of the same problem on the internet. The part was back ordered requiring more than a week to get it, suggesting many others have had the same problem. The left spring will likely fail, and the right will probably fail again. This is a safety issue affecting stability.

75 MPH impact on interstate, 4 runner complete loss. Engine protruded into foot well and not a single airbag was deployed. Injuries include - concussions, broken nose, head lacerations, head and neck problems.

Rodents chewed up wiring harness for fuel injector. Vehicle parked in encoded garage.

Bought a used 2016 4runner. Had it 3 weeks and a rodent chewed the wires on the main wiring harness. Toyota (that I have 2 warranties through) does not cover rodent damage even though the material that they use attracts rodents apparently from my research. I have $3500-$5500 in damage and my car has been at the dealership waiting for repair for 3 weeks now. The insurance company is fighting them on the repair and I am stuck without the vehicle. I do not have that kind of money to repair it myself. Toyota should be responsible for repairing and replacing the wires that they used since it is encouraging the damage! The vehicle was sitting in my carport. I live in the nicer part of a large town.

The wiring inside of the engine was chewed through by rodents. I drive the vehicle every day and it was serviced two days before. After performing some research, I found out that Toyota and other companies use soy based products to make wiring. This apparently attracts rodents as it is basically food for them.the vehicle was parked in front of my home in a marked parking spot. I have parked other (older) vehicles in front of my home for approximately 10 years without this problem. I have only owned my Toyota for one year and the wiring was destroyed by rodents to the tune of needing a new wiring harness.

I hit a car that pulled out in front of me on the highway. I was going north bound and they attempted to take a left from a side street to go south bound. I was going 45 miles per hour and the other car was at a dead stop in front of me. I hit them just behind the drivers seat. My vehicle is not driveable, but yet the airbags did not deploy.

The passenger side curtain air bag partially deployed. When this occurred it blew the door ajar. The a pilar was moved and weather stripping mis lodged. My vehicle was moving approx 15mph at the time.

My vehicle was parked in front of my home and when I went out in the morning to take my children to school my vehicle started misfiring all the checks engine lights were lighted up every warning light on my panel lit up. I had my vehicle towed back to the dealer. Come to find out that all my wiring under the hood had been eaten or chewed up by rats. It cost me $500.00 dollars to have it fixed (taped) less than 6 months later it happened again . And less than 3 months after that it happened again! I read somewhere that your vehicles are known to attract rats and that I'm not the only customer to have had this problem. Is there any way you guys are planning to fix this problem any time soon ? It's becoming very expensive for me .

Throttle control system failure on 2016 Toyota 4runner. While driving the vehicle the orange service engine amd trac orange loght illuminated. Once that happen d the throttle body became totally non-responsive. No matter how much I pressed the throttle it was non-responsibilve. I was able to safely pull off the road. I had to restart the vehicle twice, on the second restart but the warning lights remained on but throttle appeared to be functioning normal. The dealership was able to replicate the issue and advised the vehicle was not safe to drive and provided a loaner. The service tech and service advisor explained how rare this is especially on a 12 month old vehicle with under 30k miles on it. They ordered a new throttle body and we'll see if it fixes the issue. Given Toyota's

Started with shaking while driving, then they say they couldn't reproduce the same feeling. Then the front car would squeak like and old coil, they say they can't reproduce that. Now they said I needed new brakes and then the ABS, brake, and skid control lights keep coming on and off which coincides with a coil/click feeling under the brake and gas pedal. Car still shakes and squeaked. Toyota keeps saying my car is fine.

It is a common complaint on the 4runner forums, the low beam head lights don't generate enough light to see at night. One video i saw measured the out put at less then 250lumns. The average halogen bulb put out 700lumns of light. I am constantly having to use high beams to see down the road. Consumers are forced to purchase and install after market head lights. It posses a safety risk not only to the drive but to anything on the road. I had my 2016 4runner a month before the need to drive at night arose, and I was shocked at how poor the illumination was.

The tforce fender flares have become extremely loose, and rattle when driving. I am afraid of them flying off on the interstate and causing damage to a following vehicle.
