“I purchased my Toyota 4 runner sr5 and have around 89k miles on it. I've several articles about the horn clock spring being faulty. My dealership is quoting almost $1k to have it replaced. This is a safety issue and should be covered under a recall. Please advise”
NHTSA complaint #11325929, filed 2020-05, 85,000 miles“This involves the back up camera. It seems to work when it wants too. Most of the time it does not work. The dealer has not been able to find the problem. Sometimes when you open and close the lift gate it will work for a short time period.”
