"JBL audio amp was replaced under warranty. Problem was intermittent, radio would lock up and nothing but static from the speakers. None of the buttons would work. only way to reset the radio to work would be to turn off car and restart it. I finally got the bright idea to video it on my phone and submit it to service when I brought the car to TOYOTA for service."

"There has long been a design defect in Toyota 4Runner seats whereby when all the way back it makes a significant clunk sound under acceleration and deceleration. If you move the seat even a half inch forward it goes away. But that's a pain in the knees when leg room is already tight. They finally admitted to the problem but say that because it is a design defect they don't have to fix. If you search forums, you will see many complaints by people who bought used 4Runners and erroneously assumed it was a wear issue. It was apparent in my 4Runner from day one and got progressively worse."
