When driving at 70 mph, the vehicle vibrates on the highway. i have taken the vehicle constantly to the dealership for over two years complaining about this problem and they always told me that nothing was wrong. today (5/10/14), the mechanic at the dealership put the truck on a rack and ran the car at 45 mph and there was visible vibration coming from the drive shaft and a loud noise that i could never hear from within the vehicle. all this time, i have been driving a vehicle that i was unaware could have snapped apart. the sound cannot be heard in the cabin, so i could not even report that as a problem until today. i purchased three sets of new tires, had shocks and struts replaced, and brake pads to no avail. finally, after searching the web yesterday, i realized that this is a common problem with other vehicles of the same make and model. i'm not sure if this problem has caused injury to others, but there should be a recall. this could cause a potentially fatal accident if that shaft breaks. i read that for similar models (toyota and lexus), the manufacturer replaced the parts under warranty, but nothing for the 4runner. the dealership is charging over $700 for this repair. *tr
