2004 Toyota 4 Runner

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER SE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS CONSTANTLY CLICKING AND SHIFTING UPON ACCELERATION, BRAKING AND TURNING. THE TECHNICIAN'S AT THE DEALER SAY IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND THEY ALL DO IT. THE CAR HAS 7500 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES FOR THE SAME AND IT IS GOING BACK AGAIN FOR IT ON 5/27/05. I FEEL IF IT MOVING THIS MUCH WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE WHAT WILL IT BE DOING IT A COUPLE OF YEARS FROM NOW. I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMETIME THE SEAT WILL ACTUALLY MOVE BACK A NOTCH WHILE ACCELERATING AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE STEERING AROUND A CAR THAT HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. AS FOR THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL I ALSO GET THAT WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN MOSTLY AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING AS IS THE DRONNING OF THE DRIVETRAIN OR DIFFERENTIAL UPON ACCELERATION, THAT I HOPE WILL BE ADDRESSED AT THE NEXT SERVICE DATE ABOVE. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR A LOOSE SEAT IT IS RIDICULOUS WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY OUT THEIR THAT THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR SUCH A SIMPLE PROBLEM.

AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FROM AN OIL CHANGE LAST OCTOBER, MY VEHICLE STABILTY CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEM ZEROED THE CALIBRATIONS IN EFFECT SHUTTING THIS SYSTEM DOWN. AS A RESULT, THE CAR WENT INTO A SIDEWAYS SKID AND NEARLY ROLLED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO RECALIBRATED THE SYSTEM AND ACCUSED MY OF INDUCING THE SKID AND INFORMED ME THE SYSTEM IF SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF IF A TIRE STARTS TO SPIN FASTER THAN ANOTHER. IN MAY, AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP FROM ANOTHER OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE VSC SYSTEM AGAIN ZEROED THE CALIBRATION WHILE BEING DRIVEN FROM THE SERVICE BAY TO THE FRONT. THIS TIME FOR KNOW KNOWN REASON. THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA TECHNICAL SUPPORT HAVE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR, DRIVE IT AND "SEE WHAT HAPPENS". THIS SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING ON A 13,000 MILE FREQUENCY AND WHEN THE SYSTEM DOES TURN OFF, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 9 DAYS NOW.

2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKS MEANING THE SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES AND ALL THEY SEEM TO DO IS CHECK THE SPARE TIRE AND RESET THE WARNING LIGHT AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER 1 DAY THE WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK ON. ON ANOTHER TOYOTA 4RUNNER I TEST DROVE I NOTICED THE SAME BLINKING TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT.

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

PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2003 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER 4X4..ON SNOW,ICE AN WET ROADS THE FRONT END VIBRATES AN BUCKS. ITS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE, AN TWICE WERE TOLD THE TRUCK CHECKS OUT FINE(OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THAT, BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS IN WEATHER MENTIONED ABOVE) AN THEY HAVE NOT TEST DRIVEN IT IN SUCH WEATHER. *JB
