NHTSA Complaint #10765272 — 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

PURCHASED NEW A 2015 TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRAIL PREMIUM. SINCE NEW IT HAS A HORRIBLE HOOD SHAKING / VIBRATION. HAVE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE HOOD METAL IS TOO THIN AND THAT IT IS THIS WAY TO SAVE WEIGHT AND FOLD IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SHAKES AND VIBRATED UP AND DOWN SO MUCH I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAINT WILL START CRACKING AND OR HAVE THE HOOD VIBRATE OFF. I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES, AND NEVER HAD A HOOD SHAKE LIKE THIS. NEVER THE LESS TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP SAY IT IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. PRETTY UPSET I PAID $41,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT CORRECT RIGHT OFF THE FACTOR LINE. WAITING FOR HOOD TO FLY UP AND CAUSE ME TO NOT SEE ROAD AND HAVE ACCIDENT OR WORSE.
