2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING A FREEWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND DISABLED THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. I VERIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD 1/4 TANK OF GASOLINE AND ALL OF THE FUSES CHECKED OUT OK. CALLED TOYOTA ROADSIDE SERVICE AND THEY DISPATCHED A TOW TRUCK AND DROPPED OF VEHICLE AT THE NEAREST DEALER. *NM

I PURCHASED AN FJ CRUISER TOYOTA IN MAY 2006, I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES,AND NOTICED THE TIRES WERE GETTING LOW AND THEN I WOULD ADD AIR AND AGAIN THEY WOULD LOSE AIR. I WENT TO WHEELWORKS AND REPLACED THE TIRES. I THINK THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE IN THE RECALL. *JB

WHEN DRIVING MY BRAND NEW FJ CRUISER IT STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER. I WAS FORCED TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS ON A SECLUDED HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP THEY STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE DIAGNOSED IT AS THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR PARTS TO BE DELIVERED. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN 6/2006 AND HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT. I WAS NOT GIVEN A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM IN SAN JOSE, CA. AFTER THREATENING NOT TO PAY FOR THE TOW-THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED PAYMENT-IT WAS ISSUED ON 8/14/06. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #06V235000) FOR BEAD DEFECT ON THE TIRES. AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER INSPECTED THE TIRES. THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE DEALER'S MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT ONLY THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WOULD BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPER WEAR OF THE TIRES IF THEY WERE NOT ALL REPLACED.

THE VEHILE JUST STOPPED RUNNING AT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND STEERING BRAKES FAILED AND COASTED TRYING TO START CAR NO START TRANSMISSION DAMAGED BY EXTENSIVE COAST TO STOP AND STARTER DAMAGEG BY TRYING TO START ON HUGHWAY. THIS WIL CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY--THIS IS A COCEPT VEHICLE PUT OUT TOO EARLY! *JB
