STEERING, WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE A COPIED A POST I FOUND REGARDING 2007 FJ'S, AS I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY '07 FJ, AND AFTER 6 MONTHS OF REPAIRS AND NO SOLUTIONS, I TRADED IT IN FOR A 2010 FJ, AND NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS, AS DESCRIBED BELOW: I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA FJ. THE STEERING SEEMS TERRIBLY WEAK AND UNPREDICTABLE. I'VE HAD THE WHEELS ALIGNED THREE TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. TOYOTA SAYS THE THERE IS NO ISSUE BUT THAT THE STEERING ON THIS STYLE VEHICLE IS JUST SENSITIVE. WHILE I REALLY ENJOY THE VEHICLE, I'M ALWAYS ON FULL ALERT WHEN DRIVING KNOWING THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THE STEERING MAY SUDDENLY TAKE THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT WITH NO PREDICTABILITY. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A NEWER VEHICLE THAT REQUIRES SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE STEERING. IT MAY GO LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE ROADWAY SURFACE CHANGES, WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN ROADWAY SURFACES, WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM WET TO DRY OR ICE TO CLEAR PAVEMENT, OR FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON AT ALL. OFTEN I FIND MYSELF ACTUALLY COUNTER STEERING (INPUTTING OPPOSITE TENSION ON THE WHEEL) TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING LEAVING THE LANE I'M TRAVELING IN. IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE WHILE CHANGING LANES. AS I BEGIN A SLOW MOVE TO AN ADJACENT LANE, THE STEERING MAY SUDDENLY JUST PULL ME OVER TO WHICH I THEN HAVE TO COUNTER STEER TO KEEP FROM GOING TOO FAR. I TOOK MY 2010 FJ TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT HERE IN ABQ, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OF COURSE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. WITH MY '07 FJ I HAD THE FRONT BRAKES DONE, ALL NEW LUG NUTS, NEW TIRES, NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS, 7 ALIGNMENTS, AND 3 ROTATION AND BALANCES (ON THE NEW TIRES), ALL WITHIN ONLY SIX MONTHS USING 5 DIFFERENT SHOPS, AND IT STILL WASN'T FIXED. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE ON THE ROAD IN MY 2010 FJ. PLEASE HELP. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, STEERING
THIS VEHICLE CAN NOT MAINTAIN SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55 MPH DUE TO SEVERE WHEEL SHIMMY. I HAVE ASK DAY TOYOTA, AND SPITZER TOYOTA AND I GET THE SAME RESULTS, NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE TIRES. I HAVE REPLACE BOTH WHEEL AND TIRES AND HAVE THE SAME RESULT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON TOYOTA FORUMS AND THE 2010 AND NEW TOYOTA FJ CRUISERS ARE HAVING A PROBLEM, AND TOYOTA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY CONCERN I LOSING CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE ABNORMALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE IN PROXIMITY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO REACT ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT WITH LIGHT BRAKING, FOR APPROXIMATELY A HALF BLOCK, THE ABS STARTED TO PULSATE THE FRONT BRAKES THUS CAUSING THEM TO LOSE EFFECTIVENESS. I TRIED TO PUSH HARDER BUT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE CONDITION. I THEN LET CLEAR OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO "RESET" IF YOU WILL, THEN I WAS ABLE STOP PRIOR TO RUNNING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN IN FRONT OF ME THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN A GOOD ONE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEELS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS NOT ADEQUATE BECAUSE THE TIRES WEIGHED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN WHAT WAS INDICATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE INCORRECT SIZED TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE REPAIRS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V148000 (TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS), HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE CORRECT REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. NO ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

WHEELS, STEERING
VEHICLE EXHIBITS STEERING SHIMMY BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. DEALER HAS REPLACED 4 SETS OF LT TIRES AND 1 SET OR RIMS. AFTER EACH NEW SET OF TIRES AND A FRESH ROAD FORCE BALANCE THE TIRES AND A FEW HUNDRED MILES OF DRIVEN THE SHIMMY WOULD COME BACK. THE VEHICLE'S DOOR PLACE CARD FOR THE TIRES SAYS 33PSI AND 35PSI IN TWO DIFFERENT STICKERS. THE TIRES WOULD SELF DESTRUCT WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO BALANCE THEM AGAIN. THIS IS A RESULT OF UNDERIN-FLATION FOR "E" RATED TIRES. TOYOTA HAS SINCE CHANGED THE PSI TO 46 VS 35 VIA A RECALL. IN MANY CASES THE ECU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THIS RECALL TO BE PERFORMED. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES IS REFUSING TO PERFORM THIS RECALL GOING BACK TO 2008 ON VEHICLES NOT RUNNING THE OE TIRE. EVEN IF IT IS "E" RATED. THIS CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. RUNNING UNDER-INFLATED TIRES WILL HEAT UP AND RISK A BLOW OUT. RUNNING THE NHTSA PSI OF 46 WILL CAUSE THE CURRENT TOMS TO FAIL AND DEFEATS THE WHOLE MANDATED TPMS SYSTEM. *TR

WHEELS
2 WHEEL STUDS FAILED ON TWO DIFFERENT WHEELS AFTER APPLYING 80 FOOT POUNDS TORQUE TO THE LUG NUTS. ROUTINE RE-TORQUE AFTER THE DEALER ROTATED THE TIRES FOR A 10,000 MILE SERVICE. THE STUD METAL APPEARS TO BE TOO SOFT. EVEN IF THESE STUDS WERE OVER TIGHTENED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE WAY MORE THAN 80 FP BEFORE BREAKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE ALL THE STUDS ON THE VEHICLE AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. TAKING THE ISSUE UP WITH THE DEALER TOMORROW. I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL ALL THE STUDS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY. *TT

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
MY TRUCK SPEED WAS 60-65 MPH AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN WOBBLING. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. LAST WEEK I SERVICED MY TRUCK AND ROTATED AND BALANCED THE TIRES. STILL SAME STEERING WHEEL WOBBLING. IN HIGH SPEED MY STEERING WHEEL FEELS VERY LOOSE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM OR JUST SIMPLE TIRE BALANCE. OTHER PROBLEM IS MY BRAKES. WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I LIGHTLY PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP AND DRIVER SIDE WHEEL HIT A POT HOLE DEEP AROUND 2 INCHES, THEN MY TRUCK DIDN'T STOP WHERE I WANED IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENS ONLY AT CERTAIN TIMES. IF I HIT A POT HOLE OR BUMP PRESSING BRAKE.

AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT IN MY 2010 FJ CRUISER THE BRAKES SEEMED TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN IN THAT WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AND STOP REPEATEDLY I NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM FOR OTHER FJ OWNERS ON AN INTERNET FORUM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS. *TR

WHEELS
2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WHEEL STUDS FAILED WHEN REMOVING BOLTS TO ROTATE TIRES. AMERICAN TIRE CENTER OF PALMDALE CALIFORNIA ORIGINALLY INSTALLED FOUR NEW TIRES WITH LESS THAN 10K MI. ON ODOMETER. AT APPROXIMATELY 15K MI. WHEN SAME COMPANY ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE WHEELS FOR ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION THE WHEEL STUDS BEGAN BREAKING ONE AFTER THE OTHER. 4 OUT OF 6 WHEEL STUDS FAILED ON FRONT RIGHT WHEEL ALONE. AMERICAN TIRE CENTER REPLACED THE BROKEN STUDS, HOWEVER, WHEN OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO PERFORM PRECAUTIONARY WHEEL STUD REPLACEMENT THE DEALER, (WITHOUT PERFORMING INSPECTION) SAID IT WAS AMERICAN TIRE CENTER WHO LIKELY OVERTORQUED BOLTS AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. LUGS WERE ALL DEFORMED AT SPECIFIC POINT ALONG THE MIDDLE OF THE SHAFT AND HAD A STRETCHED "TAFFY-LIKE" APPEARANCE BUT ONLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LUG. REPLACEMENT COST FOR COMPLETE WHEEL LUG REPLACEMENT WAS ESTIMATED AT $600.00 BY HUNTINGTON BEACH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. BROKEN WHEEL STUDS RETAINED BY OWNER FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. FURTHER ACTION SUSPENDED UNTIL OWNER RETURNS FROM MILITARY DUTY OVERSEAS. VIN NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO COMPLAINANT DUE TO OVERSEAS DEPLOYMENT. *TR

WHEELS
WHEEL STUD BROKE OFF WHEN CHANGING TO WINTER TIRES. A TORQUE WRENCH WAS USED TO PREVENT OVERTORQUEING. THE CAR HAS 3247 MILES. NO ONE HAD TOUCHED THE WHEELS UNTIL TODAY. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SEEN WITH 2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER AND 2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER MODELS. NHTSA SHOULD ASK TOYOTA TO INSTITUTE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE DEALERS TO INSPECT AND REPLACE ANY DAMAGED WHEEL STUDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DRIVING A NEW 2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WITH APPROXIMATELY 600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MODERATE RAIN. WHEN TURNING OFF A PAVED ROADWAY ONTO A FLAT, WET, AND MUDDY SURFACE I HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF TOTAL MOMENTARY BRAKE FAILURE. THIS OCCURRED AS MY LEFT FRONT TIRE LEFT THE ROAD SURFACE AND HIT THE SLICK MUD. MY SPEED WAS UNDER 20 MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN BRAKING POWER BY RELEASING THE BRAKE AND THEN RE-APPLYING IT. MY ASSUMPTION AT THE TIME WAS IT WAS THE RESULT OF SOME KIND OF WEIRD ABS BEHAVIOR. I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES VERY LIGHTLY TO GRADUALLY SLOW MY VEHICLE. THE BRAKES BEHAVED NORMALLY UNTIL THE FIRST TIRE HIT THE SLICK MUDDY SURFACE. SOMEHOW THE SYSTEM CAUSED ALL 4 WHEELS TO LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
2010 FJ CRUISER STEERING WHEEL SHAKE/VIBRATION. ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE BETWEEN 55 MPH AND 65 MPH. DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON IDENTICAL ROAD CONDITIONS BELOW 55 MPH OR ABOVE 65 MPH DOES NOT CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKE/VIBRATION OCCURS DURING THE ABOVE MENTIONED SPEEDS, REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS SAFETY ISSUE. STEERING WHEEL SHAKE/VIBRATION OCCURS EVEN WITH DIFFERENT TIRE/WHEEL COMBINATIONS. *TR

STRUCTURE
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I AM WRITING TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION AN ISSUE THAT I FEEL SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA DUE TO THE SIMPLE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES FOUND IN SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET DATING BACK TO 2007. VEHICLE: 2010 TOYOTA MODEL: FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD: UNREASONABLE/PREMATURE CRACKING VIN #: [XXX] THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE WINDSHIELD IS MOUNTED IS OF GRAVE CONCERN TO ME, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MY RECENT EXPERIENCE 2 DAYS AGO. WHILE DRIVING TO THE GYM I RECEIVED 2 MERE PEBBLES HITTING MY WINDSHIELD, AND IMMEDIATELY 2 CRACKS DEVELOPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT LONG RUNNING CRACKS, I AM NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE KIND THAT SPREAD LIKE SUN RAYS IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. BUT I AM MERELY SAYING THAT THE MARKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD HARDLY EVEN SHOW AN INDENTION IN THE GLASS. AND YET THE CRACKS ARE DEEP IN THEIR SINGLE SPOTS AND AS OF YET THEY HAVE NOT STARTED TO SPREAD. I AM NOT A TAIL GAITER, NOR WAS I TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE IN FROM OF ME WHEN THIS EVEN TOOK PLACE. CONSIDERING THE SOUND THAT IT MADE WHEN I HEARD IT I SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THAT HAS OCCURRED. IF YOU SIMPLY DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD ISSUES/COMPLAINTS" YOU WILL FIND A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS/BLOGS/RANTS & RAVES ABOUT HOW THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM 2007 ONWARDS AND ALL COMPLAINTS HAVE SEEMINGLY FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. REPAIRS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM AROUND $500 - $1200 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GO TO REPLACE IT. AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THAT AFTER SPENDING $38,000.00 ON A VEHICLE THIS SIMPLY SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HONDA FACED IN CERTAIN YEAR/MODEL "HONDA ELEMENTS". NOT ONLY WAS THERE ISSUE COMPLAINED ABOUT ENOUGH TO GET FREE REPLACEMENTS BUT IT ALSO SPURRED HONDA TO TOTALLY RE-DESIGN THE WINDSHIELD FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUES AS I AM SORELY DISAPPOINTED. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD COME OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR NOR THAT OF MY INSURANCE COMPANY!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED 2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER 4X4 AUTOMATIC. IT HAS PART TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM INCLUDING 4H AND 4L. I SET INTO 4H (HIGH SPEED 4WHEEL DRIVE) AND TRIED TO PARK AT THE OPEN PARKING LOT. I FOUND OUT CAR GOES SLOW AND STOP BEFORE FITTING INTO THE SPOT. WHEN STEERING IS NOT STRAIGHT, CAR SLOWLY STOPS WITHOUT BRAKING UNDER NO ACCEL. AFTER THAT I TRIED TO MAKE A CIRCLE WITH MY CAR, IT DID NOT WORK. I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE A CIRCLE. IN 2WD, I DON'T NEED TO MAKE CIRCLE WITH GAS PEDAL ON "D" DRIVE. ON 4WD, TO MAKE A CIRCLE, I HAVE TO PUSH GAS PEDAL AND TIRE GETS SQUEAKING AND MAKING NOISE. I TESTED MY COUSIN'S 4 RUNNER WHICH I KNEW THAT BOTH CARS HAVE SAME MECHANISM. ON 4RUNNER, WE DON'T HAVE NO PROBLEM. THE CAR GOES VERY SMOOTH ON 4WD EVEN MAKE A CIRCLE. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT. FIRST, "L" DEALER, THE GUY SAID THAT 4H HAS CENTER DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED. SO UNDER 4WD, ALL WHEELS ARE GOES SAME SPEED. SO I SHOULDN'T PUT 4WD ON THE PAVED ROAD. 4WD IN ONLY FOR THE OFF-ROAD. I ASKED HIM "HOW ABOUT RAINY DAY?" HE SAID MOST OF CARS ARE 2WD. I WENT TO "N" DEALER. HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING. I JUST DROPPED THE CAR AT "C" DEALER NOW FOR 5K SERVICE. WE TALKED LONG TIME FOR 4WD SYSTEM. HE DOES NOT KNOW. HE SAYS THAT IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FROM 4 RUNNER AND CHARACTERISTIC. PERSONALLY, I THINK 4WD SYSTEM HELPS ON RAINY ROAD AND ALSO HELPS ON CURVY ROADS ON THE MOUNTAIN. SO I PUT 4WD TIME TO TIME. I DON'T THINK THE CAR SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO HAVE ALL DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED ON 4WD. HOW DO I MAKE A SHARP TURN WITH 4WD? I HAVE TO HEAR TIRE SQUEAKING AND FEEL LIKE HARM THE CAR. I FEEL BAD. IF IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC ABOUT THE CAR, I AM OK WITH IT UNLESS IT HARMS MY CAR. BUT, IT POSSIBLY SOMETHING NEED TO IMPROVE, CAN YOU FIND OUT? I WAS ABOUT TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THEY MIGHT SAY AGAIN "IT IS CHARACTERISTIC. YOU DRIVE 2WD ONLY ON THE ROAD." THANK YOU. *TR
