What owners wrote
Over the past 9-12 months I have owned the 4runner, I have noticed the floormats slide up behind the brake and acceleration pedal when I am constantly switching between the two (eg. Heavy traffic, long trips, etc.). I usually am able to pull them back down at a stoplight or stop sign; however, on tuesday, july 29th, I was involved in an auto accident that was not only in heavy traffic, but while on a 200+ mile trip as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota 4runner. After starting the vehicle, a high pitched audible alarm sounded and the ABS, traction control, and emergency brake sensors remained illuminated. Also, when depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the brakes malfunctioned and the pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was towed to jim hudson toyota (970 columbiana dr, irmo,sc) , but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 111,000.
