I PURCHASED A TOYOTA 2015 4RUNNER FOR MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT SERRA TOYOTA IN BIRMINGHAM,AL ON 3/15/17. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THE CAR HAD TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD - NO THAT IT DID NOT HAVE THESE AIRBAGS. I KNEW TO ASK THIS QUESTION BECAUSE OUR HONDA 2011 CRV HAD THEM AS WELL AS OUR 2010 LINCOLN MKX. I HAVE RECEIVED 2 LEGAL NOTICES FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS CONCERNING MY DAUGHTER'S TOYOTA 4RUNER. I TYPED IN MY DAUGHTER'S VIN NUMBER ON THE WEB SITE WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM AND IT SAID ACTIVE RECALL ON MY DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE. IT SAID RECALL INCOMPLETE ON CAR. MANUFACTURER RECALL # 14V828. SUMMARY SET 014. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A DEALERSHIP COULD SELL A CAR TO A 19 YEAR OLD THAT HAS SAFETY ISSUES. SHE DRIVES IT BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE IN VA. PLEASE CHECK ON THE STATUS OF HER CAR FOR ME. WHEN BUYING HER CAR, ALL THAT I CARED ABOUT WAS THE SAFETY OF IT. I WILL BE EXTREMELY UPSET IF HER 2015 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER HAD RECALL ISSUES THAT HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. I WILL BE FURIOUS IF IT HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS. IT WAS SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/14/17. AT THAT TIME I ASKED A PERSON IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SERRA TOYOTA IF IT HAD TAKATA AND I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER.

WHEN ACCELERATING THROUGH A TURN FROM A STOP, IF FOR ANY REASON YOU LIFT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN REAPPLY PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, NO ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE. IT IS IF YOU ARE NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PRESS. THIS HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN SEVERAL COLLISIONS BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER ACCELERATING AND IS JUST COASTING. TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY LEFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND REAPPLY PRESSURE. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO THIS MORE THAN ONCE. VERY DANGEROUS.

WHILE BRAKING AGGRESSIVELY ON A DRY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE, THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THEN IT RELEASED THE BRAKES ALL TOGETHER - RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL BRAKING CAPABILITY.

ON 2017/10/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY A TOYOTA AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THEY HAD NOT IDENTIFIED ANY FAULTS AND CLAIM THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS EXPECTED.

TAKATA RECALL: CONFLICTING INFORMATION FOR DETERMINING IF VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL. CALLED AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT CENTER AND THEY SAID AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL AND DEALERS MAY NOT YET BE AWARE OR HAVE INFO TO CALL IN VEHICLE. CALLED DEALER AND SERVICE REP. INDICATED THEY HAD NOT NOTICE MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS WEBSITE DID NOT RECOGNIZE MY VIN NUMBER WHEN PUT IN AT THE START, CALLING MY VIN ENTRY AS INVALID. WITHIN THIS CLAIM FORM IT RECOGNIZED MY VIN NUMBER AS VALID!? I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL AND NO NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT TO DEALER. MEANWHILE MY FAMILY MAY BE SUBJECT TO SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT WILL BE RECALLED, AND WHEN. THE WHOLE PROCESS OVERLOOKS THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE ACTIONS OF OTHER DRIVERS, AND MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RECALL PROCESS AGAIN REPRESENT THE CONCERN FOR THE COMPANIES INVOLVED AND NOT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE INDIVIDUALS.

BRAKES DO NOT ADEQUATELY GRAB. BRAKES ALSO ARE SLOW TO REACT WITH ABS ON CORNERS, MAKE SOUNDS AND BRAKES ARE SUBSTANDARD FOR MODEL. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED UNDER AT 15K AND 23K IN MY CAR. DEALER SAID IT''S A KNOWN ISSUE AND TELLS PEOPLE TO DOWNSHIFT (IN AN AUTOMATIC!) INSTEAD OF BRAKE. MANY COMPLAINTS IN INTERNET FORMULA REGARDING THE SAME. PEOPLE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT WITH THESE ISSUES. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR BRAKES AND A STRONGER BRAKING SYSTEM ISSUED.

I HAD 20,000 MILES AND BOUGHT THE VEICHLE BRAND NEW AND WENT TO LEAVE WORK AND MY VEICHLE WAS STRUGGLING TO STAY GOING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHINING. WHEN I'D GO TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULD STRUGGLE AND ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. I HAD TO GO 20MPH ON THE SIDE ROADS ABOUT 15 MILES TO THE DEALER. THE RPM SHOULDN'T SHIFT. IT WAS CAUSED BY A MOUSE I GUESS? SINCE THEY USE SOY BASE AND SEE THIS A LOT. SO FUSTRATING WHEN YOU PAY $38,000 FOR A VEICHLE. I'D MUCH RATHER DRIVE MY OLDER 2010 HONDA THAT NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH SO CALLED A MOUSE. THEY OF COURSE WOULDN'T COVER IT. TO TOP IT OFF I HAD A MAJOR OIL LEAK AT 19,000 MILES CAUSING ABOUT $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. WHICH WAS THE FACTORY'S FAULT THEY SAID. IT WAS COVERED BY WARRENTY, BUT STILL IT'S RIDICULOUS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. WITH 1 MILE ON IT, FRESH OFF THE TRUCK. AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA. I'M AFRAID MY VEICHLE WILL BREAK DOWN ON ME. WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL WHEN I BUY A NEW CAR. SO DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
