When the road split to 4 lane I stepped on the gas to speed up from 55 to 65 and the vehicle studderd and lost all power. Many warning lights cam on and I think it said stop within .3 miles. We pulled to the side of the road and basically coasted to a stop. It was on hybrid power. We called the nearest Toyota dealership and they suggested restarting the vehicle and see if we could make it to them. The engine did restart still with all the warnings on and we were able to drive it to the dealer being really gentle with the throttle. They pulled codes and it was intake related. They removed the air filter and it was dripping wet. The raised intake ingests water when it's raining and if it's working hard enough it pulls it through the filter into the intake and causes the vehicle to suddenly lose power which could possibly cause a accident. I am also concerned about water pulling dirt with it into the motor and causing damage. I have driven the vehicle in the rain since this happened but not pulling a trailer and really working it and so far it hasn't shut down on me yet but I've pulled the filter and it was wet. I have brought this issue to my dealer but they said they are not aware of a problem. I will attach a video of the wet filter I pulled from the air box after driving in a rain storm and a video of the warning lights that appeared. I don't think the dealership I took it too has any records of it because it was just after closing and they used a handheld scanner. They just dried our filter off and cleared the codes.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"4RUNNER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]},{"odiNumber":11745185,"manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/12/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"06/19/2026","vin":"JTEVA5BR4S5","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"Purchased used car from champion motorsports.

This appears to be an intentional design feature; however, it creates a real-world safety concern.  Description of Safety Concern: In normal daily use, I needed to quickly access the rear cargo area (to retrieve my child\u2019s belongings) while parked with the vehicle turned off. The rear window was partially lowered, which prevented the tailgate from opening entirely.  This resulted in a delay while I attempted to determine why the tailgate would not open and then had to return to the driver\u2019s seat to raise the rear window before accessing the cargo area.  During this time, my child was left standing in a parking lot longer than necessary. While the vehicle was stationary, the inability to quickly access the rear compartment created an avoidable safety exposure.  Why This Is a Concern: The system does not account for vehicle state (e.g., parked, engine off, zero speed). A more appropriate design would allow the tailgate to open when the vehicle is stationary or automatically raise the rear window when the tailgate is activated.  Instead, the current behavior enforces a strict lockout regardless of context, which can delay access in situations where timely access is important for safety.  Requested Action: I request that this behavior be reviewed for potential safety implications and that consideration be given to a software update or design change that allows tailgate operation when the vehicle is stationary, or provides an automatic window-close function when opening the tailgate.  Additional Notes: This behavior may be present across multiple model years and could affect a large number of vehicles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"4RUNNER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]},{"odiNumber":11725125,"manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/10/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"03/18/2026","vin":"JTEVA5AR6S5","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"Brakes squeak/squeal very loudly and often, no matter if it\u2019s cold, rainy, hot or humid.

Within days, developed severe vibration at highway speeds (70+ mph) and rattling driver-side window. Vehicle was at dealership (AutoNation Toyota Winter Park) from 8/20\u20138/31/2025; during this time, odometer readings increased significantly without explanation and no mileage log was provided. Vehicle was returned unrepaired, with \u201ctake-off\u201d tires installed without disclosure. Issues persisted and vehicle was later taken to a second dealership (Seminole Toyota) from 9/2\u20139/13/2025. Dealer staff confirmed vibration linked to tire condition, but contradictory invoices and lack of transparency left safety issues unresolved.  Concerns: Vehicle stability and vibration at highway speeds. Window rattle impacting safety on uneven roads. Odometer irregularities during dealer custody (mileage logged inconsistent with actual travel). Dealer substitution of tires without proper disclosure.  Reason: Unknown \u2013 possible tires, suspension, or related system. Manufacturer and dealerships have not resolved after multiple service attempts.

The dealerships are not taking my owner complaints seriously and are refusing to honor warranty claiming that this issue is caused by road hazards when it clearly is not and is easily proven to be a defect or manufacturing issue. My air dam came loose on a interstate highway with 75 mph speed zones and became entangled in the undercarriage, further investigation revealed that several of the fasteners were missing and no evidence they were ever installed.  The dealership tried to accuse me of removing or tampering with the hardware which is absolutely ridiculous and potentially criminal to make these unfounded allegations.
