Consumer Description

THE 4RUNNER PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND DOES NOT STOP AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. THE PISTONS IN BOTH FRONT CALIPERS HAVE FROZEN UP TO SOME EXTENT. I HAVE CHECKED MANY FORUMS ON THE 4TH GEN 4RUNNERS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHY MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAN NOT A PROBLEM AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I PURCHASED REMANUFACTURED CALIPERS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED AND THEY ARE FREEZING UP AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
