Which Toyota FJ Cruiser years should you avoid?
Going by 908 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Toyota FJ Cruiser years to avoid are 2007.
- 2007593 complaints, 9.0× a typical FJ Cruiser year, most often about the body and frame.
Better bets: among years old enough for a low count to mean something, the 2014 drew the fewest complaints without an unusual share of serious ones.
How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
