2004 Toyota 4RUNNER visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
-hatchback electronic closure fails for the second time within a one year period -replaced motor once because vehicle does not operate without--exhaust fumes come through the hatchback, unable to lock vehicle, lights don't automatically shut off, water during rain or snow gets inside vehicle, etc there is no manual over-ride to enable closing the hatchback there is no purpose for an electronic closing device--you still manually pull down the hatch, and once closed, the motor engages to latch it shut! The part wasn't covered under warranty, despite other hatchback complaints (poor aerodynamic design with lots of dirt thrown up on hatchback), so there have been issues with using the key lock, being unable to roll down the window, and now the vehicle is rusting around the window.
Windshield continue to crack starting each time mid way the wind shield wiper on driver side. I am my third windshield and it is cracked again also lots of tundra trucks are cracking the same identical place.
While driving at any speed driver's side mirror vibrated uncontrollably. This caused poor visibility. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the mirror needed to be replaced, and replaced it three times. However, the problem recurred. This information was provided by mrs. Zamani's husband mr. Touradj zamani.
