The 2018 Toyota 4Runner was hailed for being reliable and rugged. The newer models claim to be designed for “when your adventures require more,” but many owners are unhappy with what these adventures look like. Instead of enjoying the ride, they are dealing with defective steering systems, poor visibility and a shoddy structure

Some people use the 2018 Toyota 4Runner for off-roading, while others simply want well-balanced on-road steering dynamics, but no one seems happy right now.
Here is what one Edmunds review states, “I bought this 2018 Toyota 4Runner SR5 premium last fall. It currently has 10,000 miles on it and I’m ready to trade it off. It handles something terrible. If there is a 10+MPH cross wind on the highway, it takes two hands to drive it at 75 MPH. It darts all over the road worse that a Ford Pinto with bias ply tires on it. It’s been to the dealer twice for this issue and they say it’s normal.”
What’s not shocking is the recall affecting this model. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V67000 states that the suspension and steering fasteners were improperly tightened. If they come loose, they can cause a loss of control or allow accessories to become detached from the vehicle. Either scenario leads to an accident in many cases. Apparently, this “adventure” Toyota wants to create involves parts flying off of the SUV while driving.
It could be argued that the windshield is one of the most important components on any vehicle. After all, without it, drivers wouldn’t be able to see where they were going. With the 4Runner, this vital part is defective.
An NHTSA complaint states, “The windshield is cracking without the temperatures being so high. The vehicle was parked but turned on, when we turned on the heat and drove it for a little bit (6 miles) we noticed the windshield cracking and we turned off the heat. Temperature was at 40 degrees the lowest.”
Toyota hasn’t responded to concerns that the windshield hasn’t been properly constructed. Instead, the automaker has chosen to remain quiet. It could be an effort to keep any more attention from looking at the brand, especially since this 4Runner already has a total of five safety recalls. Toyota will do anything from having to issue yet another notice that something is wrong with this 4Runner. Instead, the company diverts attention by telling drivers how much of an adventure they can have – if they can see out of the windshield.
The 4Runner might not be the most expensive SUV on the market, but it isn’t the cheapest either. Owners expect it to be constructed of high-quality parts that are going to last, but their expectations are incorrect.
One short and to the point comment on the NHTSA website says, “Driver door opened while driving.”
It would be easy to think at this point that this problem was an isolated incident, but there’s a structure-related recall that leads everyone to see how defective this SUV is. NHTSA Campaign Number 17V763000 says that the billet grille overlay can come detached while driving. The cause of the failure is a defective U-nut securing the overlay grille. If this part detaches while driving, it can create a road hazard and lead to an accident. It seems that the 4Runner knows how much of a lemon it is that it continues to drop parts while driving. From the suspension to the body parts, there might be more of this 4Runner on the streets than actually on the vehicle itself.
Think you have a lemon? Sit back and let the experts work out your lemon case at no cost to you. The law makes Toyota pay legal fees. You may be able to get your lemon out of your life. Every year, auto manufacturers buy back, replace or pay cash settlements to thousands of ‘lemon’ owners like you.

Description | On7/2022 when I came out of my house in the evening my 2018 4runner was not been running for hours but I heard my fuel pump running with no keys in the switch would not stop running until I turned the switch on and then turned it back off and then fuel pump stopped running I reported to my dealer but they didn't seem interested so I am sending this to you any thing I tell the dealer where I got my 2018 4runner service dealer seems to go unheard. I got my 2018 4 runner brand new in 2018 and I was having issues with the 4runner shaking in the front end and steering wheel and took it back more than 5 times but only to be told it was nothing but. I am still having problems with it but they have not fixed it or anything |

Description | The front differential in our 2018 toyota 4runner failed. This caused damage to one of the front axels of the vehicle. The failure can cause difficulties in turning the vehicle. The failure can lead to catastrophic failure of the axels, leading to the wheels to lock up. The problem is reoccurring in model years 2016-2019. Toyota is aware of the problem and has issued bulletins (see toyota technical service bulletin t-tci-5185 rev. 1, dated 4/5/2019). Yet, toyota refuses to offer a cost free repair of the failure/damage. The failure was inspected and confirmed by an authorized toyota dealership on 2/9/2022. The failure had no warning signs/indicators. The failure began approximately 30-45 ago with a faint grinding sound coming from the drivetrain while driving. |

Description | I noticed a crack forming in the windshield without seeing any signs of an impact. I took it in and toyota had found a small indentation along the crack line that they claimed to be what caused the crack. This indentation along the crack line was superficial and did not have any of the "spider legs" type crack lines out of it. I have had older vehicles in the pacific northwest without this issue, and I thought this was odd so I took it to a 3rd party master window repair technician not associated with toyota and they diagnosed it as a stress crack related to the heating element. |

Call them to see if they happen to know what was going on and they told me that the were working on it doing the recall service (again). Next day they call me and said they did the recall (which there is not remedy available at this time 3-8-21) and the transmission was the problem and that I need to pay to get it fix it because they found metal debris on it. Went there right away they explained to me what they said it looks to be the problem. Fast forward they call me again and said problem was different (getting other party involved). The 3rd party went in to check the problem they said it was to be told a very different history saying they found gear oil inside transmission and they were sure (not because any testing) but because it looks and smells like it (when the oil they showed me at firs was burned oil) very different from what they told me before and now the truck transfer case was on the problem as well.

Description | My 2018 4runner stalled 12/12 amidst my having made a turn out of my drive way and commencing acceleration of the vehicle. My speed couldn't have been in excess pn 20 mph. I did not loose electrical functions. The vehicle simply lost mobility. I shifted the vehicle to neutral and juggled the accelerator and regained acceleration, without any further such incidents of the kind. The following day 12/14 the vehicle stalled yet again at a point of accelerateation at approximately 15 mph. On this occasion I was turning yet again at low speed. The succession of stalls seems to occur at low speed while on the process of turning. Arrangements have been made to return the vehicle to lowe toyota in warner robins to leave the vehicle for further observations. I will be personally driving the vehicle. |

Description | I bought my 2018 4runner new in november 2018. Shortly after I noticed the steering wheel would wobble to the left and right while driving 50-60 mph. I have taken the vehicle to my local toyota dealership three times but they are unable to fix the issue even after rebalancing the tires every time and doing an alignment once. The dealership states that this is normal on 4runners. This is definitely not normal on a new vehicle and toyota needs to fix the issue. Many people have reported having similar problems with their 4runner while driving at the same speeds. |

Description | Purchased vehicle brand new with 18 miles on it. I get it serviced like clockwork and have never missed a maintenance appointment. A little over a week ago, the electrical locking system on the drivers side door stopped functioning. Toyota is telling me that there are no recalls and it will cost me almost 00. 00 to repair. Now, the electric locking system for the passenger side door is not working and toyota is still saying it is nothing they can do because there is no recall and the vehicle is no longer under warranty. This is not acceptable. One minute the locking system was working with no obvious signs that something was amidst, then all of a sudden, my 4 runner doors are not locking. Now the cost is double and they are saying that the other doors will soon follow. |

Description | We purchased a new 2018 toyota 4runner with vin [xxx] in late 2017. In october of 2019 we noticed that the bumper kept separating from the body of the vehicle. At that time the vehicle had 31k miles. Jim hudson toyota tried to fix it. The bumper is held on by small clips that come loose while driving. They said it was a known defect but not a recall and the design was changed for the 2019 model, so it is unique to the 2018 model. Toyota gave the dealership 3 ways to fix this issue. They were supposedly going to replace the vehicle if the 3 fixes did not work. We took the vehicle in a total of 10 times over the course of over a year. They tried all 3 of these plus another 5 ways to try to fix; some did not work, and some were merely cosmetic and did not hold during normal driving conditions. The last 2 times jim hudson paid a body shop to fix it as if it had been in an accident, which it has not. We are stuck with a vehicle that has lost value due to toyota (defect as well as history of repairs) as well as questionable safety due to the bumper continuously detaching.. All we asked is that they purchase the vehicle from us for what we owe. We financed through toyota. Toyota corporate refuses to do anything further after reviewing for 2 months. They claim that because it took them so long to work on it, that they are no longer liable since the vehicle now has more than 35,000 miles on it a year after initiating the process to fix it, even though it did not have that many miles on it when the process was started.

However, toyota regional reps after only doing a visual inspection decided the rust 'does not compromise the seats integrity at this time.' they ignored the recommendation of their mechanics to replace. They also refused to clean and seal. The regional reps will not replace until the integrity is compromised. This is a willful selection to ignore the safety of the occupants. Thank you. |

Description | The rack & pinion or steering does not return to a "home" position. Simply put, if you turn around a corner, the steering wheel does not easily return to "straight". If you are driving down a straight path and turn the steering even one degree, let go of the wheel, it will continue that path until the vehicle runs off of the road. This car has 2100 miles on it. The dealer has checked the camber, the tow, the numbers on the electronic actuated rack & pinon. The service manager drove the car and agreed it was not correct; however it was "in the limits" of toyota specifications. He said he drove other new vehicles and they react the same. If you drive down any straight away, you have to constantly be correcting how the car steers. There is no home position which is unlike any vehicle I have driven. I think an accident is waiting to happen and it looks like toyota is not willing to admit they have a problem. |

Description | Driving legally at 70 mph on ohio interstate, sharp cross winds during a period of ambient wind of 23 mph, caused vehicle to cross dividing lines in an unsafe manner. Vehicle is known to have "soft" or "sloppy" steering, which is "characteristic" of that vehicle according to the dealer, and under normal circumstances does not affect safety. However, in the wind, the reaction time to correct from a cross wind is sufficiently effected to the detriment of safe handling. In other words, by the time you react to being forced over the dividing line of traffic, its already too late, whereas a normal steering ratio on a passenger vehicle would allow you to correct before being blown far enough to cross the dividing traffic lane. This is a very unsafe vehicle under those circumstances and should be immediately recalled and re-engineered. |

Description | Vehicle has constant transmitted engine vibration in steering wheel. Vibrations are causing tingling, numbness and joint pain. Vibrations are worse with increased engine rpm. Vibrations have been constant since car was purchased new in april, 2018. Car has 2400 miles on it currently, 5/23/18. Long trip (900 miles) was first time there was tingling and numbness which were unbearable at the 450 mile mark and the return trip was quite distracting and uncomfortable to say the least. For 2 weeks afterwards, tingling and numbness remained. Now after approx. 3 weeks, it takes about 10 minutes of driving for the tingling and numbness to return now feeling mild joint pain as well. Vehicle has been brought in for repair 3 times so far for this condition and the dealer and toyota refuse to acknowledge the condition! I have already scheduled the 4th. Appointment at the dealer so I can commence my arbitration/lemon law claim. I purchased a vibration analyzer and the readings off the steering wheel far exceed safe recommended vibration levels established by n. I. O. S. H,/o. S. H. A. By a factor of at least 3 to 4 times! If I keep driving this vehicle it will turn into a personal injury lawsuit vs. A simple lemon law claim. |

My 4 runner windshield has been cracked with gravel on 5 separate occasions. The second chip was just before arriving in Colorado with below freeze temps. That one spread and we had to replace the windshield. It can’t be the glass because 3 have occurred with new glass. We think the angle is wrong on windshield. We have driven 2 tundra, solars, Avalon, Seqoia and T100 with never a windshield ping.
