    4-Runner Sudden Acceleration

    Exactly. This actually did happen to me in my 03 Sport and caused me to hit the car in front of me at a stoplight. I had leaned over to take a bite of my sandwich, taking my eyes off the road, and the A/C compressor kicked in causing the engine to surge and the car lurched slightly forward and...

    '04 4Runner Sunroof problem

    Carefully read nauticalniremor's first paragraph. That is exactly what I did when my sunroof locked open AFTER the warranty ran out. Toyota stepped up and did the right thing and replaced it free of charge (although I am scared to use it any more...) Do not freak out at the rep you speak...

    Sunroof dead - help!

    To follow up.... Toyota is doing the right thing and covering me, even though I am out of warranty. My 4R is only two years old, but I am over 36K. I take it in next week to get the sunroof replaced and I'll let you know how it works out. Props to Toyota USA.

    Yeah, that's where the motor is too. The mech. at the stealer tried that already.

    Sunroof dead - help!

    Oh, and I certainly don't see any access panel in which to stick an allen wrench. You could possibly fit one in the drive for the motor, but I doubt this would do any good (although I'm willing to try anything at this point...) I think the moonroof panel is absolutely jammed beyond all hope.

    It just lowers the deflector, then raises it again. I've pushed the button about 100 times. A few times it made this horrendous clacking sound, but most of the time I just get the deflector movement and nothing from the actual panel.

    Sunroof dead - help!

    Re: Get on the highway Yeah, I tried to close it at highway speeds after reading that that worked for someone else on this board, but no luck. It doesn't budge even a millimeter.

    Sunroof dead - help!

    I guess it's my turn to have the sunroof puke on my 03 Sporty. Died last night - wide open and no amount of tugging will budge it. Went by the dealer today to see if they could just get it closed, but no luck. They want to keep it for a while :( To make matters worse, my warranty ran out a...

    Power Outlet Inverter

    Re: Re: Power Outlet Inverter Uh, I don't think you understand. The cover on the outlet in the vehicle (and the manual) say the max output of the outlet is 120 watts.

    Power Outlet Inverter

    I've read a couple of threads where some of you are claiming to run a PS2/other game console for the kids through a power inverter plugged into the 12V cig lighter/outlet. I want to do this with a XBox, but my outlet claims it will only provide 120 watts of power. This is not going to be...

    Oh, so the "Transfer Case" and the "Torsen Center Differential" are one and the same?

    Both? There are three. Front, rear and center.
