Mechanical issues began early in the life of this new 2021 Toyota 4Runner. With just 3,400 miles on the odometer, the customer brought the 4Runner to an authorized Toyota dealership due to red fluid leaking from the rear of the transmission area. The dealership replaced a leaking transmission output seal and performed a multi-point inspection.
While this initial repair was meant to address the issue, the vehicle continued to experience fluid leaks.
The transmission fluid continued to leak, prompting the dealership to replace the entire transmission assembly. Even after this extensive repair, a check engine light appeared, which was traced to a faulty park/neutral position switch and subsequently fixed. The vehicle was in the shop for 29 days during this repair visit alone.
A few months later, the 4Runner developed a new issue—this time with a leaking front stabilizer control cylinder. Despite replacing the cylinder and bleeding the suspension control system, several warning lights persisted, indicating unresolved issues with the KDSS system. The vehicle was back in for repairs again within days.
