All four of my door locks have stopped working with the automatic system. Each required a new lock actuator to be installed on each door. The failures occurred at 26,598 (7/16/04) - front driver, 50,327 (6/10/05) - rear right, 67,878 (12/30/05) - front right, 81,435 (05/2006) - rear driver. If a user does not notice the failure, the potential exists for children in the backseat to open the door - as the driver believes that the door is locked, but it is not. *nm

2003 toyota 4runner: jack and equipment are not safe and suitable for this type of truck. I have had to use the jack equipment 2 times to change flats, the first time the equipment does not raise the front of the car high enough to change the tire and the wand used to jack it up bent in half. The second time the wand bent again and the screws to connect the wand were stripped causing an unsafe place to change the tire. The equipment is not suitable for this size truck. *nm

I was sold pre-owned toyota 4runner without its being inspected and then i felt ill treated to be recalled to sign a new purchase agreement with an increased interest percentage, just because i am black! *nm

I purchased a new 2003 4 runner from toms river toyota. All service of the vehicle performed there. Over a year ago we complained low a low brake pedal. Dealer said nothing was defective. Recently dealer recommended rear brake service. Problem still not resolved. On last service visit the dealer advised me that toyota issued a service bulletin requiring a pad spacer being installed. But now due the mileage being over the 50000 mile warranty, dealer requires >$ 250. Be paid by owner to repair this issue. No such service bulletins were found on this website search. *nm

2003 toyota 4 runner trailer hitch came apart. *ts when the trailer came apart it struck the vehicle in the rear. The trailer remained attached to the vehicle by the safety chains . The receiver ball slid out of the receiver of the hitch due to the clip coming off pin and pin falling out. *nm

I presently have my 2003 4 runner v8 limited in for the second time in less then a year for air suspension problems. In both cases the air suspension stays in the fully inflated position. They replaced the compressor the first time in (21 days to get parts), and this time they tell me it?S the air release portion of the compressor. Which means their replacing the compressor again (7 days and counting waiting for parts). I also had the vehicle in for a wobbling sound, the problem was a driveshaft that was installed backwards on the assembly line. Toyota indicated that this occurs once in a while during assembly. *ak
