TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 24, 2008.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . i purchased a used 2001 toyota 4 runner 4 wheel drive last year with approx 88 k mile. prior to giving it to my daughter i replaced the tires ( goodyear) and took the vehicle to my local toyota dealership on 6-2-2007 requesting a full check of the vehicle to verify road worthiness prior to giving it to my 16 year old daughter. they suggested and performed 90 k maintenance package including suspension inspection and front end alignment. she returned to virginia and has been driving it daily on paved roads to high school. she has not taken it off road or used the 4 wheel drive. last weekend she was slowly turning into her friends driveway and the right front wheel broke off the axle collapsing the wheel and ripping out the front axel. a state trooper passing by indicated at highway speeds this likely would of flipped the vehicle. thank heavens she was going less than 10 mph. the vehicle was towed and at a local repair shop it was noted that the lower ball joint "dropped down" triggering the catastrophic front end failure. toyota recalled 210,000 axles on the prados vehicle ( not distributed in usa) which is on a similar platform as the 4 runner. blog entries describe similar failures with the wheels snapping off. i contacted my toyota service manager and described the failure. i requested he evaluate and asked if they missed this on their inspection in june. i also request that they cover the repair costs of approx. $600.00 to include a detailed inspection and l ball joint replacement. he indicated they would not cover the repair expenses. my concern is this failure should not have occurred if the joint was assessed as road worthy june 2007 and only approx. 9 k miles have been added since then with no pothole or off road trauma noted. how can i be assured that this won't happen again maybe at highway speeds with life threatening outcomes? have similar complaints been filed? does this warrant further investigation by your agency and or toyota? *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 98000 miles.

TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2009.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE . my 2001 4 runner with only 125,000miles has a rusted out rear differential. this was shocking to me because my truck is in otherwise excellent condition and has absolutely no rust on the body. i took it to toyota who said they can replace it for $2200 plus tax. i took it to my husband's mechanic to repair/patch it if possible. he said he has seen many vehicles with more miles than mine in much worse condition that have no rusted out rear differentials. he found it very unusual. he said the metal housing is very thin (from the factory that way) which is the root of the problem. the mechanic welded a patch over the hole; however this is not a good permanent fix for the problem. it also makes my 4 runner have next to nothing for trade in value for a truck that otherwise would have a nice trade in value. this makes it a double insult. after talking to many people and visiting the www.4runnerforum.com web site it seems to be a common problem in 4runners years 1999 to 2002. i would imagine more people have the problem than have reported it to the website. i would like to know if there is anything toyota can/will do to rectify the problem as it seems to be caused by a manufacturing defect. other than this problem, my 4 runner has been a great vehicle. toyota has a history of great vehicles. i know they recalled the tacoma trucks from the late ' 90's for frame rustout and gave the owners 2 x the trade in value towards a new toyota. because of this recall, i know toyota is willing to stand behind their vehicles. toyota offering a replacement of the defective part or "trade in value" towards a new toyota would be a great customer service and would go a long way towards keeping loyal customers. if they do nothing, it makes me hesitant to purchase another toyota not knowing if the metal housings on the rear differentials are manufactured any better in 2010.. *tr.Mileage was 125125 miles.

TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 07, 2012.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . on 7/7/12 i was driving for a dog rescue transport and noticed a strong fuel smell in the vehicle. i thought nothing of it at first since i had just filled up the truck and a gas can. what i did notice was my gas gauge was dropping incredibly fast so i looked for a clear area on shoulder that should the truck catch fire. (very dry in nj at the time) i found my area and shut truck off and drifted into the shoulder. exited the vehicle and began rushing to empty the seven dog crates (just in case) on the shoulder behind guard rail. once we were all clear, i walked over to vehicle and popped hood. there was fuel saturating everything, including still dripping from insulation material under the hood directly onto and around the exhaust area. by toyota design, there is a clip that retains/separates two hoses directly on top of the fuel line that had worn a hole into the fuel line. on 7/9/12 i went to toyota dealer to get the hose which i find out is part number 23801(p)-62071. it turns out there are only seven of this listed part in the whole united states and that it would cost me $75 and a week or more to get the part. i went home and browsed the net to find only one store that stocks this item and ordered through them to save about $20 but still the same turn around time (lost about $67 in fuel as tank is now bone dry plus a $250 flatbed tow fee. i am out almost $400). i has been a week my vehicle has been out of service due to a toyota design flaw, and they will not fess up to the design flaw or even offer a loaner car. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 67000 miles.

Toyota 4runner 2001 Power Train

Toyota 4runner 2001 Power Train Review #10667419

TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001 car safety problem was reported on Nov 30, 2012.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2001, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with POWER TRAIN . on the rear end differential housing, the back cover area (non replaceable) has become so porous because of heavy rust scaling and flaking that differential fluid seeps from it. the rest of the differential housing is made of thicker, heavier gauge metal and seems ok. this issue will cause the gear oil to drop below the required level causing differential failure or lock up and at highway speeds could be disastrous. when i realized i had this problem, i searched the toyota forums online and it appears to be a very common issue with these vehicles and toyota is aware but will do nothing about it. they will replace entire rusted out frames on trucks under recall, but refuse to address this issue? to add insult to injury they want $3000 to replace a known inferior/defective part. i have had to resort to makeshift repairs using brush on bed liner to stem the leaking and check the fluid to keep it full. but what about people who are not mechanically inclined or who are completely unaware?.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 138000 miles. Toyota 4runner 2001 problem was reported in LITTLE FERRY, NJ. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
