“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. …”

NHTSA complaint #10967305, filed 2017-03, 26,000 miles

“The vehicle is equipped with the x-reas system which inter links the struts on opposite corners of the vehicle to provide flatter cornering. Toyota says the system should last well over 100,000 miles. But there are numerous complaints that the shocks start leaking from the center joint at less than 50,000 miles. Leaking shocks need to be replaced as a full set of 4. The cost for this repair is prohibitive, in excess of $3000 currently. Loss of shock performance can cause excess bounce and sway, potentially causing a crash”
