Owner complaints3
STRUCTURE
Owners of the 2024 Toyota 4Runner report issues primarily related to the vehicle's structure. A common complaint involves the running boards, which some describe as not extending sufficiently from the body, making it difficult to enter and exit the vehicle safely. This issue is highlighted by a narrow surface area of 2 3/4 inches, leading to potential slip hazards. Another reported issue involves a rear passenger-side seat belt strap detaching, attributed to misuse with a child safety seat, occurring around 2,038 miles. These complaints suggest potential safety concerns, particularly regarding entry and exit stability and seat belt functionality.
Owner complaints2
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2024 Toyota 4Runner report issues with the vehicle's electrical system, specifically the camera system and key fob functionality. Complaints frequently mention that the camera system, including the rear and 360-degree views, is distorted, making it difficult to see painted lines, pedestrians, and obstacles while parking. Additionally, multiple owners describe a problem where adjusting the "Beep" volume affects the wireless key fob's ability to lock or unlock the car, though the proximity feature and engine start remain functional. This issue has reportedly persisted since 2022, requiring dealership intervention to restore key fob functionality. No specific mileage ranges or direct safety implications, such as crashes or fires, are noted in the complaints.
