2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. LARGE CRACK IN MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD FROM A ROCK. OTHER CRACKS ARISE FROM JUST SMALL TINY DEBRIS STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD. GLASS NEEDS TO BE SCRATCH AND DENT RESISTANT. REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELDS COSTS AROUND 1400 DOLLARS. THIS IS BECAUSE THE INSTALLATION INVOLVES REMOVING A TOP MOLDING PIECE THAT BREAKS EASILY AND THE UNIQUE CUT OF THE GLASS. IF YOU REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, THE INSURANCE COMPANY COULD REFUSE TO INSURE YOU AFTER MULTIPLE INCIDENTS LIKE THIS BLATANT DEFECT. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE OF GETTING THE CRACKS FIXED , COMPROMISES WINDSHIELD INTEGRITY. ALSO ONCE YOU REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD IT IS REPLACED WITH FACTORY OEM GLASS. WHICH CAN CRACK AGAIN! THIS IS JUST FROM CITY DRIVING NOT EVEN LONG DISTANCE DRIVING! *JB

MY NEWLY PURCHASED FJ CRUISER HAS A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. I HAD A CHIP REPAIRED A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND NOW I HAVE A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVIOUS CHIP. AS OF YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, I DIDN'T HAVE A CRACK WHILE I WAS CLEANING OUT THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. LAST NIGHT WHEN I GOT INTO MY FJ, I NOTICED A CRACK THAT STARTS 3' TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER AND ARCHES TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WIPER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. ON 4/21/07 WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE ROCK CAUSED A SMALL INDENTATION ON THE LOWER CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. ON 4/23/07 WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND LEFT A SMALL INDENTATION ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. ON 4/24/07, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE WINDSHIELD HAD A LARGE CRACK BETWEEN THE INDENTATIONS. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. *AK UPDATED 05/21/07. *JB

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I FREQUENT A FORUM CALLED FJCRUISERFORUMS.COM. WE HAVE TONS OF PROBLEMS WITH WINDSHIELDS ON THE FJ CRUISER. CRACKS ARE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE WINDSHIELDS. I OWNED A JEEP WRANGLER FOR 4 YEARS. I HAD ONE TIME THAT I RECEIVED A CRACK TO THE WINDSHIELD. SO, THE ANGLE OF THE WINDOW ON THE FJ IS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT MUST BE A CHEAPER GRADE OF GLASS. A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WEBSITE LISTED ABOVE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR WINDOW SEVERAL TIMES. I FORTUNATELY ONLY HAD ONE CRACK AS OF YET. BUT, I AM SURE THERE WILL BE MORE. THE CRACKS DEVELOP INTO A SPLINTERING EFFECT WHICH REQUIRES THE WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED. SO, INSURANCE PAYS AND PREMIUMS INCREASE OVER CHEAP GLASS. *AK

2247 MILES ON VEHICLE, IN 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD IS PITTED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS, SOME ARE STARTING TO CRACK. THE FIRST ONE OCCURRED BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN 500 MILES.*AK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CONCERNS PROPER VISIBILITY AND WINDSHIELD INTEGRITY. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH A NEAR VERTICAL WINDSHIELD LIKE MINE, AND THEY ARE NOT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE GLASS IS REALLY FRAGILE ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON A NEW WINDSHIELD TO COME INTO STOCK SO THAT IT CAN BE REPLACED.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A DAMAGED WINDSHIELD DUE TO A STONE HITTING THE WINDSHIELD ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 8500 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WINDSHIELD SA TVERY VERTICALLY, BUT THE ISSUE SEEMED TOYBE MORE OF A SUBSTANDARD QUALITY OF GLASS. I BELONG TO A FORUM IN WHICH NUMEROUS WINDSHIELD FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED, AND SOME WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. ANY ATTENTION GIVEN TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.*AK

BROKEN WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY A TINY PEBBLE. PITTING CAUSED BY SAND AND TINY PEBBLES ON THE ROAD. THE TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD SCARES ME DUE TO HOW FRAGILE THE GLASS IS. I CAN NOT SEE HOW THESE WINDSHIELDS COULD HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES WITH NEAR VERTICAL WINDSHIELDS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD THEM CRACK THIS EASY. I EVEN SCRATCHED ONE OF THE WINDOWS WASHING BIRD DROPPINGS OFF OF THE GLASS. I ENDED UP REPLACING THAT WINDOW AS WELL. SOME ONE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS GLASS.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES RPM GAIN WHEN TRYING TO STOP, AND A THE RPMS NEVER RESIDED BETWEEN SHIFTS OF GEARS OR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS BELOW 5 MPH. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING EMERGENCY SAFETY STOPS THE VEHICLE HAS ACTUALLY ACCELERATED DURING THE BRAKING PROCESS. TOYOTA EXPLAINED THAT THESE RPM CONDITIONS WERE DUE TO NEW TECHNOLOGY IN AUTOMOBILES.*AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 20 DEGREES THE CLUTCH HAD A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE CLUTCH DIDN'T COME OUT WHEN RELEASED, JERKING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY CALLED TOYOTA, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT THEY WERE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 450.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE ACCELERATES TO 1500 RPM WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE THROTTLE WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (UNDER 1500 RPM). THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) TO SPEED UP INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE "ENGINE BRAKING" THAT ONE WOULD EXPECT. I FEEL THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND / OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS. *JB
