| 2006 toyota 4runner. i was quoted $1,500 for a time cover oil leak repair in lakeland, fl. there was a tsb issued 2007 (eg049-07). apparently, most of the charge is for labor, the replacement part is not expensive. i understand the avalon has the same problem. this repair cost is astronomical, especially considering that it's a commonly known problem in toyotas - possibly from poor design. i don't think the consumer should have to absorb the cost of this repair. hopefully, something is being done to help the consumer. | |||

| I had a 2006 toyota 4 runner, limited. the brake system never was right and that is why we got rid of the car. at a light, car would continue to inch forward. i complained to the dealer several times and when it lurched forward when stopped in a school zone this past spring, we immediately got rid of it, since the dealer kept telling me nothing was wrong. *tr | |||

| Not until i read the article on yahoo (inside washington missed signs in toyotas recalls) did i realize i do have a problem with my 2006 toyota 4runner. my 4runner constantly lurches foward as i have my foot on the brake in a stopped postion. i always thought it was just the way the truck was made since it was my first toyota. now i realize what the problem is. but how do i get it fixed? i do not see the 4runners as having the recall on them. *cn | |||

| I was coming into dewitt arkansas on highway165 on 12/13/09 at about 12:30pm with my cruise control on at about 60 mph. i tapped the brake to disengage the cruise control and slowed down to make a right hand turn into an exxon mini mart. my 2006 toyota 4runner suddenly accelerated as i attempted to stop near the front door. as i applied pressure to the brakes i heard the anti lock brakes clicking and suddenly the 4runner lunged forward striking a large pole that was in front of me. the rear wheels were spinning wildly and the back end was bouncing up and down. the 4runner was bouncing to the side and i slammed the shift lever into park. the power to the back wheels stopped. i sat back and took my foot off the brake pedal, then i noticed that the engine was still running wide open throttle. i reached up and turned the key off. i looked at the floor mat and it was in its normal location with no contact with the gas pedal. the two hooks were attached holding the floor mat in place. there was no way it could have been involved. two employees came out and asked if i was okay. i told them i was okay, but scared to death. i told them i had heard about toyotas having a sudden acceleration problem, but i never thought i would be involved in one. i had to walk around a while to calm down. i got the employees names and phone numbers in case i needed them. i went back outside and started the 4runner up again and it ran normal. i drove it to my dad's and left it there. i called the toyota dealer the next day and had them come pick it up. the dealer had a local technician check it out. they said they could find nothing wrong and said i should come and get it. i told them that was unacceptable. they had a regional specialized field technician evaluate it. he said that there was no safety hazard with my 4runner. the dealer wants me to come and get the vehicle. nothing has been fixed or repaired.*tr | |||
