2014 Toyota 4RUNNER Steering Problems

“When applying the brakes, the vehicle / steering wheel shakes violently . Almost to the point that it is hard to hold on to the steering wheel. And if I'm driving at highway speeds the vehicle is extremely hard to stop. I have had to swerve around the vehicle in front of me numerous times because my brakes could not stop my vehicle in time. In an attempt to fix this issue I have had a certified mechanic replace the front rotors at 71k miles, 83k miles, 100k miles with the last time being with genuine Toyota rotors. …”

“My 2014 Toyota 4 runner has what I call a death wobble. As you start down the road and get up to speed, 55-65 MPH, the front end shakes violently and pulls to the right. I am almost scared to drive it. I have had a few mechanic shops look at it and no one can figure it out. They have done alignments, checked transfer case (4wd), cv axles on front, control arm bushings, swapped tires, replaced rotors and road force balanced tires. The last mechanic said I should park it until it's figured out but I cannot afford another vehicle as I'm still paying on this one and it's my only vehicle. …”

“Vehicle shakes violently upon putting brakes while driving at or above 60 MPH. I took my vehicle in to Toyota several times for this same problem and they keep telling me it's a brake pad/rotor problem. The first time I took this in to Toyota my vehicle had maybe 28,000 miles, I took it in today 3/20/17 and it has 35,000 and they said the same thing so I took it to a brake repair shop and explained what Toyota had said, the employee and actual owner of the shop told me I would love to take your money however it will not fix the problem because your brakes and rotors are perfect. …”

“The steering became almost unresponsive and I could not turn the steering wheel while driving. I brought it to a repair shop and they said the intermediate steering shaft and u-joints were rotted out and rusted to where it seized up. The vehicle only has 55k miles on it and I don’t live by the ocean. The parts were repaired by a shop and steering feels like new again. Had this seized up on the highway or at high speeds it could have been very bad. There were no warning lamps or issues with steering before”

“Vehicle handles poorly,worse above 55 MPH,raining,or windy. Vehicle wanders and requires constant course corrections to stay in lane. Tires are feathering on outside edges and are prematurely worn out at under 10,000 miles. According to Toyota everything is perfect.”
