 Have had the vehicle for a month now. i went back to the dealer after the first week with noticeable vibration in the steering wheel and the vehicle in general from approx. 45 mph and above. dealer balanced wheels. returned again another week later with same symptoms. dealer again attemped to balance tires and analyzed rims, speed balance, etc. and determined it was the tires. after the song and dance about the dealer being unable to replace the tires without a long drawn out process, i was directed to the local bridgestone dealer for tire replacement. had tires replaced the following tuesday. same symptoms re-occurred after a few days. back to the dealer a third time this past friday. re-balanced the new tires again, service manager drove it afterwords and said everything was fine. left that afternoon on a trip, and the symptoms re-occured again. have had enough ! i am filing a lemon law notice to toyota this week with one last chance to repair. if unsuccesful, will be filing for arbitration to receive a refund.*ak

 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
