THE EMERGENCY BAKE ON MY TOYOTA 4RUNNER-2005 DO NOT HOLD .THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN FOWARD OR IN REVERSE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ON.MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 33,000. MILES. THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WAS REQUESTED TO FIX THE BRAKES TO NO AVAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT THAT THE WAY THEY ARE & LIVE WITH THEM. *CN
1998
SUSPENSION
REAR BEARINGS HAVE FAILED. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY NHTSA #02V021, WHICH SITED THE REAR SUSPENSION PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON ALL 1996-1998 TOYOTA 4RUNNERS. THE PROBLEM WAS FOR 2WD BUT WAS ISSUED FOR 4WD VEHICLES ALSO TO AVOID CONFUSION. (MINE IS A 4WD) MY QUESTION IS, IF THE SPRINGS WERE UNDER-SIZED, WILL THIS CAUSE DAMAGE OR UNDUE STRAIN TO THE REAR BEARINGS? ALSO, TOYOTA REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL STATEMENT FROM THE NHTSA THAT STATES THAT "TOYOTA WILL RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO AVOID PUBLIC CONFUSION AS TO WHICH VEHICLES SHOULD RECEIVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS." *TR
