NHTSA Complaint #11097675 — 2018 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT TRANSMITTED ENGINE VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL. VIBRATIONS ARE CAUSING TINGLING, NUMBNESS AND JOINT PAIN. VIBRATIONS ARE WORSE WITH INCREASED ENGINE RPM. VIBRATIONS HAVE BEEN CONSTANT SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL, 2018. CAR HAS 2400 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY, 5/23/18. LONG TRIP (900 MILES) WAS FIRST TIME THERE WAS TINGLING AND NUMBNESS WHICH WERE UNBEARABLE AT THE 450 MILE MARK AND THE RETURN TRIP WAS QUITE DISTRACTING AND UNCOMFORTABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. FOR 2 WEEKS AFTERWARDS, TINGLING AND NUMBNESS REMAINED. NOW AFTER APPROX. 3 WEEKS, IT TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING FOR THE TINGLING AND NUMBNESS TO RETURN NOW FEELING MILD JOINT PAIN AS WELL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES SO FAR FOR THIS CONDITION AND THE DEALER AND TOYOTA REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONDITION! I HAVE ALREADY SCHEDULED THE 4TH. APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER SO I CAN COMMENCE MY ARBITRATION/LEMON LAW CLAIM. I PURCHASED A VIBRATION ANALYZER AND THE READINGS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL FAR EXCEED SAFE RECOMMENDED VIBRATION LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY N.I.O.S.H,/O.S.H.A. BY A FACTOR OF AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES! IF I KEEP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT WILL TURN INTO A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT VS. A SIMPLE LEMON LAW CLAIM.
