2004 Toyota 4 Runner

WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES, PEDAL VIBRATES AND GETS VERY SOFT. VEHICLES STOPPING DISTANCE IS MARGINAL AT BEST. ROTORS HAVE BEEN "CUT" ALREADY WITH JUST 13K ON THE VEHICLES DUE TO RUST BUILD UP.BOCH TOYOTA IN NORWOOD MASS. TELLS ME THAT THE BRAKE ISSUE IS "NORMAL" !! THERE IS ALSO A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL ALSO ! ALSO, THE TIRES HAD TO BE REBALANCED AT 13K AS I WAS TOLD THEY WHERE "CUPPING". SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A FRONT END ISSUE WITH THE 2004 4-RUNNER.*AK

I HAVE FRONT END PROBLEMS WHICH IS MAKING THE TIRES WEAR ( FEATHERING) ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF BOTH FRONT TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIRES WITH A NEW SET OF TIRES, BUT THE NEW TIRES ARE WEARING THE SAME WAY. TOYOTA STATES THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM, THAT THIS TIRE WEAR IS NORMAL. THIS WAS NOT NORMAL ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. THIS WILL BE MY LAST NEW TOYOTA VEHICLE PURCHASE, AFTER 5 NEW TOYOTA PURCHASES I AM DONE!!!!! *AK

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FRONT END ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SINCE DAY ONE. THE TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE FRONT END ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE EXTREMELY FAST. TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT THE NEW TIRES ARE WEARING VERY QUICKLY ( IT IS BEING DESCRIBED AS FEATHERING). TOYOTA OF RICHARDSON HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A FRONT END PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE HOW TO REPAIR THE FRONT END. I ONLY HAVE 7500 MILES AND SO FAR AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA DIRECTLY. THE FRONT END FEELS UNSAFE. *JB
