2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER Complaints

I OWN AN 07 FJ CRUISER AND MY WIFE AN 08, THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE PRIUS. WHEN EVER I GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEED AND BRAKE THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE CAR IS ON A BUMPY OR SLIPPERY SURFACE, OR WHEN IT DRIVES OVER POTHOLES I GET THAT SAME THING. I HAVE 26K ON THE VEHICLE AND LOVE IT BUT NOW IM CONFUSED ABOUT THAT BRAKE PROBLEM OR IF THERE IS ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM! HELP!!!!!!!!!! *TR

TOYOTA FJ CRUISER CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS WHEN COLD. THE TRUCK BECOMES UNPREDICTABLE OF WHAT ITS GOING TO DO. TOYOTA SAID ITS BEEN WORKING ON A FIX FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. IF YOU LOOK AT TOYOTA FORUMS THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT ABOUT 35 MPH I EXPERIENCE SUDDEN APPLICATION OF THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE AND THE SKID INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE CAUSED ME THE SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. HAD I BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED I SUSPECT THAT THE FJ WOULD HAVE ROLLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE TO ALMOST 90 MPH. WHEN HE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, HE SAW THAT THE FLOOR MATS SLID UP AND WERE PUSHING AGAINST THE GAS PEDAL. THE FLOOR MATS WERE NOT PROPERLY HOOKED TO PREVENT THE ACCELERATION. HE HAS NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER TO-DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO-DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,939. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000. UPDATED 03/01/10. *LJ UPDATED 06/11/10

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE INNER FENDER LINER METAL FRACTURED AT THE CRUMPLE ZONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

WHILE OPERATING A 2007 TOYOTA FJ (59,956 MILES) ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT AS IF IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. YOU WOULD PRACTICALLY HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION. FOR SOME DRIVERS, IT WOULD BE EASY TO ASSUME THAT THE BRAKES WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THIS LOSS OF BRAKES COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT. TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR SERVICE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE 'ABS HYDRAULIC BOOSTER', PART NUMBER 4705035052, HAD MALFUNCTIONED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT. IT IS ALSO A COSTLY PART AT $2,145.99, PLUS LABOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT HAS A 2004 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SPORADICALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE LOSES TIRE PRESSURE. IF THE TIRE LOSES AIR PRESSURE IT MAY LEAD TO A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED BY A REPRESENTATIVE THAT HIS VIN NUMBER DID NOT FALL UNDER RECALL #06V235000,(TIRES:BEAD), THEREFORE HE WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY REPAIRS. THE TIRES FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10.

DEFECTIVE PAINT. EXCESSIVE CHIPPING OF PAINT ON THE VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY AROUND THE FRONT WINDOW AND SIDE PANELS. NOT DUE TO ROCKS. LOOKS LIKE POLKA DOTS ALL OVER. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER AND THE FRONT INNER FENDER ARE BULGING AND TEARING AT THE CRUMPLE ZONE. I'VE CONTACTED RIVERSIDE AUTO WHERE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO TO FIX THE ISSUE, TOYOTA HAS REDESIGNED THE INNER FENDER 3 TIMES SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER HAS A DESIGN FLAW IN IT'S FRONT FENDERS. THE INNER FENDERS BULGE AND TEAR WHICH CAUSES THE FENDERS TO BIND ON THE DOORS, ETC. THE BULGES AND TEARS ARE IN THE "CRUMPLE' AREAS OF THE INNER FENDERS DESIGNED TO BUCKLE DURING A CRASH. THIS DEFECT WEAKENS AN AREA THAT SHOULD BE INTACT . *TR
