Severe rust under carriage including fuel tank straps and suspension components. Number is rusted and skid plates. Rust basically covering under vehicle.concerned about integrity during a crash
From acceleration; between 30mph and 45mph my vehicle shudders and shakes. I believe the issue is coming from the transmission and or differential of my vehicle.
December 17, 2014 i was enroute to work between 9:00-9:30 am. And as i am driving along hughey road approaching robinson street a cross road the light turned yellow, so i applied my brakes while going over the rail road tracks and i loss my brakes ending up in the intersection and my front end in the pedestrian walk way nearly running over two pedestirans, they were so close they could touch my truck.it was a three lane road and i was in the middle the two other cars were able to stop but i wasn't and kept going with my foot planted firmly on the brake. I could feel the grinding of my brake pedal like it was a computer thinking.i called the toyota custer care center and they gave me a case #[xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
In the 60-70 mph range the steering wheel shimmied back and forth as much as 1-2 inches.the vehicle feels unstable in this range.
Vehicle has a shimmy or shaking as felt in the steering wheel at speeds of 45 mph or higher. This seems much more pronounced when driving on a curve than on a straight highway.have had the front tires balanced by the toyota dealer 3 times so far, and the balancing is spot on (i watched them balance them), but shaking in the steering wheel still continues. The tires did not take excessive weights either. I have stock trd wheels with bf goodrich 265-75/16 tires - which came with the 2013 team trails edition.i don't believe this is a tire balancing problem, but something loose in the steering or suspension.
Frame rust, rear bumper rush, under carriage rust, front lower a-arm rust, differential rust.
The frame and gas tank straps and rear bumper are rusting to an unsafe condition.vehicle is 2013 with only 66000miles. I am spending countless dollars yearly to prevent the rust and it isn't getting any better. Other vehicles that share the same frame have had recalls on the frame and this vehicle should also be included

The frame on my vehicle is incredibly rusty. Upon further research, i've found that this is a chronic problem fj cruisers. Many frames have rusted to the point where there is structural damage thereby rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. I know that toyota issued a recall for tacoma trucks for this very issue, and i would like to have a recall issued for the fj as i'm incredibly concerned for my safety.
Excessive rust on frame, chassis, tie rod ends and all other metal parts, although car is maintened properly, only 40k miles, garage parking, no off-road usage and no salt exposed.
When driving in snow conditions the windshield wipers build up amazing amounts of ice. I spoke with dealership and they claim it does that because of the angle of the windshield. I was having to pull over and stop to break the ice off my wipers because they stopped clearing the windshield and i would loose visibility. Also, the underside of the fj cruiser builds up and collects ice like nothing i have ever seen. I am a over the road truck driver and have driven in all types and levels of bad weather, i have never seen ice build up like it does on the fj cruiser.. The first time i thought it might have just been a fluke but it repeated the ice build up yesterday when it snowed again.

I purchased a used toyota fj cruiser in june 2019 with 25,441 miles on it from luv toyota in lakewood, ny. The car was purchased sight unseen with cash from a toyota dealership and shipped to me in sugar land, tx. When the vehicle arrived it was covered in frame and total underbody rust.the vehicle is completely unsafe to drive and i have driven it less than 1000 miles since it was purchased 2 years ago. After numerous attempts to receive a refund from luv toyota and toyota motors corp i have given up. A 5 year old vehicle with less than 30,000 miles should not be completely rusted out. This is a complete fraudulent transaction. Toyota corp does not stand by their vehicles or their franchise dealerships.
Severe frame, structural and fuel tank strap rust.
