| I have a 2004 toyota 4 runner that has a problem with its rear wiper blade not working and rear defrost. i had to bring it in for them to reset it after the reset it worked for about a week then stopped working again. i was told that there's a glitch in the wiper and rear defrost computer that needs replacement but was not recalled yet so i had to pay for it myself. not have the money to do so it still not working and find it very hard to drive in inclement weather. *tr | |||

| After about 12months of normal/ typical use, the sun visor (on the driver side) will no longer stay up; it constantly drops. this is a huge distraction and obstructs the field of view. *tr | |||

| -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. *tr | |||
