The lock actuator motors on 4 out of 5 doors have stopped working. only the drivers and rear door have exterior key entry, this dramatically inhibits the access to the back and front passenger seats in the event of an emergency.
The door lock actuators fail at an alarming rate. my driver side door lock actuator failed after only 50,000 miles. this prevents the car door from locking, which is a safety concern during a crash or just to prevent forced entry.
The front passenger side door will not lock or unlock. i am sure you can understand the safety hazards with this issue. this door will not lock or unlock with key fob or with the locking system inside the car.
The 4runner's electrical system shuts down completely while driving; as if someone was suddently turned the car off while driving then turned it back on. all dash lights, instrumentation, headlights, radio, etc... shut down and then it restarts automatically shortly thereafter. this happens multiple times daily. it occurs both while the car is in park or reverse or driving usually below 555mph since much of my commute is city vs. highway. it started with the radio head unit only then the issue has progressed to the entire electrical system. this should be investigated as this is a major safety issue and could lead to injury.
Door actuator locking out driver, to where key doesn't even work. either the door will not lock, or unlock. the fob is fine and sends the signal as you can here the actuator trying to move. and when it doesn't unlock, you can't even unlock the door with the key. i would think this would be a safety issue. i've read a number of complaints on a variety of sites such as below, that it is a known issue? if it's a known issue, why isn't there some kind of safety recall? suppose all of the actuators didn't work and there was a kid in the car. this would be the third of 4 bad actuators, so that is a possibility. https://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/4runner/2014/electrical/auto_door_locks_not_working.shtml
2015 toyota 4runner - door lock actuators. at around 36,000 miles the rear driver's side door actuator began to fail intermittently. within a couple months it failed completely and the rear passenger door lock actuator began to display the same problems. at 40,000 mileages all of the door lock actuators have failed. this is a non-problem and a major safety issue. it is also very expensive to repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 toyota 4runner. while driving in the left lane at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle lost power. the contact stated that the vehicle seized and was unable to be moved. the engine was still running, but the vehicle would not accelerate. all the indicators on the instrument panel illuminated at the time of the failure. modern toyota (3178 peters creek pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27127) diagnosed the vehicle, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 28,000. *tt *tr
Entune radio/navigation system continually crashes and stalls while driving causing safety hazard if driver has to continually reset the radio power while driving. this usually happens more so when the navigation system is engaged. it will crash out of no where, use to just happen with instructions were being given through the speaker now its random. happens also when with just music playing, will be unable to change stations or control volume with buttons or nobs. this seems to be happening to a large amount of customers who have no way of solving the issue. might be need for safety recall as people may need to continually reset or try to figure out whats wrong while driving. other sites forums with customers complaining about issue; http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/177008-entune-trouble-lets-get-fixed-2.html http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/333-3rd-generation-2014/873962-entune-nav-radio-rebooting-s-own.html http://toyota-entune.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2965 https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/updated-am-i-the-only-one-with-this-issue-media-system-restarting-without-reason.397207/ *tr
Rodent chewed through injector 3 wire. 4 days later, after i paid for the first repair...several other wires were chewed through. the previous connector repaired with "rodent deterrent tape" was not damaged.
