ONE OF THE WHEELS HAS A CRACK IN IT. IT IS A STRANGE LOOKING CRACK WHICH I FOUND WHEN WASHING THE CAR. THE WHEEL IS NOT DAMAGED, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SCUFFING OR DINGS AND DENTS IN IT. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 1 1/8" LONG THEN TURNS 90 DEGREES AND ABOUT 1/2" LONG AT THAT END.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Toyota 4RUNNER Hybrid verdict →
