Most common problems:

Brake calipers seizing

Over time, the calipers can seize due to corrosion or lack of lubrication, leading to uneven brake wear or reduced braking efficiency.

Brake disc warping

The front vented discs can become warped from excessive heat or heavy braking, causing vibration when braking.

Brake fade

The brake system may experience fade during extended periods of heavy braking, reducing braking power.

Dbs malfunction

Issues with the Dynamic Brake Support system may arise, affecting the vehicle's ability to provide additional braking force during emergency stops.

Engine misfire

The 1GR-FE engine may experience misfires due to ignition coil failure or spark plug issues, leading to rough idling and reduced performance.

Oil leaks

The V-shaped configuration of the engine may lead to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets or other seals.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain on the 1GR-FE engine may stretch or wear, causing timing issues and potentially engine damage.

Coolant leaks

The engine may develop coolant leaks from the water pump or radiator, leading to overheating problems.

Fuel injector problems

Sequential MPI system may experience clogged or failing fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel economy and engine performance.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold on the 1GR-FE engine may develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and increased emissions.

Transmission shifting issues

The vehicle may experience hard or delayed shifting, which can be related to the transmission control module or fluid levels.

Suspension wear

The 4-Runner's suspension components may wear out over time, leading to a rough ride or poor handling.

Electrical system faults

Common electrical issues may include problems with the battery, alternator, or wiring, leading to starting problems or accessory malfunctions.
