TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2009 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2009.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i have a 2009 toyota 4 runner, purchased new in november '09. the car currently has 1800 miles on it, however i noticed the problem at about 400 miles. the problem is the transmission slips when shifting up at about 10 miles per hour. it does not do this from a complete stop, only after de-accelerating (example, slowing down to make a right turn) and accelerating back up, then it will slip. nothing has been done to correct this defect because the dealership says they have never heard of this problem with the 4 runner and toyota has not issued a technical service bulletin. *tr.Mileage was 400 miles.

TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 14, 2009.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i am filing this claim to report a potential safety problem with the transmission in the 2009 toyota 4runner. i bought my 2009 4runner new in may of 2009 and from the first week noticed a problem with the transmission slipping, and it is progressively getting worse. it happens consistently each time i slow down (but don't stop completely) to turn corners and then continue to accelerate,. the transmission doesn't respond, the car just sits there, and the engine goes from 1500 rpms to up to 2500 rpms before the transmission catches up with the engine again and the car then moves. i am concerned each time this happens, especially when there is traffic following behind me in the turn. i brought it in to the dealership to check it out right after we bought it. they ran a diagnostic and told us that everything checked out ok. i had the technician drive it, and i went with him. he said that he couldn't feel what i was talking about, even though i felt it when he slowed to make a turn. he then told me that it was probably because it took the new electronic transmission a few seconds to communicate with the car's computer. sounded like he was guessing at what might be causing the problem. i have since contacted customer care at toyota, and received a response in e-mail telling me to contact the dealership in my area, and that toyota had already done so on my behalf. he said if i didn't hear from the manager at my dealership by feb. 11, 2010, to contact toyota again. i haven't heard from my dealership as of feb 13. i have talked with other owners of this model, and they experience the same thing, and they have gotten the same runaround from the company. *tr.Mileage was 3500 miles.

TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2009 car safety problem was reported on Sept 10, 2009.TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . i was driving in the left/fast lane on a toll road when another vehicle who was speeding in excess of 55mph entering the toll road crossing and cutting off the other lanes of traffic running into me on the passenger side forcing me into the concrete wall/barrier head on. his vehicle swung into again into my passenger rear side then bounced off. i was stunned, in shock, unable to exit on my side and didn't see it coming. i was thrown left into the frame and window and jerked around even though i had my seat belt fastened. the air bags did not deploy. i had front and side curtain airbags and had only just purchased the 4runner a few months prior. it was declared to be totaled. i permanently injured my neck, back and broke my nose. in addition, i have anxiety and panic attacks about driving. the other driver was cited at fault for failure to control speed and unsafe lane changes and his insurance paid for my totaled vehicle and what little insurance coverage he had for my personal injuries. i was just now notified that there was a problem with my vehicle's air bags and sensors (a recall), now that it is almost exactly 4 years from the accident, there is nothing i can apparently do to hold toyota at fault due to statute of limitations. this very upsetting. i am fully disabled now and will be on pain management and periodic physical therapy for the rest of my life, and can no longer even perform simple chores. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 11261 miles.
