more info To answer questions asked so far; 1. They did oil change, flush on coolant, trans flush, changed diff lube etc. along with all of the other things mentioned (BTW) they also changed a bad air-2-fuel sensor that showed issues. 2. I've taken it back to them and dropped it off asking...

update Took the 4runner out tonight and vehicle drove fine for about 10 minutes, and then under deceleration sounded like the transmission popped as it downshifted. Then once under acceleration it seemed smooth again, but died at stop sign again. I was able to get it back to the house without...

My last post asked about possible transmission failure, but now I'm not so sure. To re-cap; 01 SR5 4WD 4Runner with 143k having issues after recent work at shop. Vehicle had full service to include all fluid flush, belts changed, brakes done etc. After getting the vehicle back it would stall...

Well I went to my Toyota dealership today; not for the 4runner, but scheduled maintenance for the FJ. While there I asked their guys about the 4runner issues, and they immediately said "We would never do a full trans flush/refill on a 145K vehicle" I knew what the response would be, but I...

"Ever hear any whining from underneath the 4runner in the tranny area?" No not really; the only thing I can say is occasionally when you would get ready to move fwd the 4runner would torque up and then pop/jump fwd. It almost seemed like a drag car on a trans brake; vehicle would load up and...

Arrived home today and wife picked the vehicle up from the shop; vehicle drove fine until driveway and then it died right as she pulled onto the drive. The shop gave my wife a bag full of metal shavings, and IMHO If that came from the trans the thing is about to come apart. I've never tried...

Need help soon!!! I have an 01 4Runner (SR5 4WD) with 143K miles having serious issues. I’ve owned this vehicle for years w/o any issues; late last year I bought a 2014 FJ with plans of passing the 4Runner to my 16yr old son. My wife and son have been driving recently and mentioned it would...
