2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser complaints

WINDSHIELD HAS 2 CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM ROCK CHIPS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSED A SMALL ROCK TO STRIKE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AT 30 MPH. THE ROCK CAUSED A SMALL CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK HAS CURRENTLY INCREASED TO APPROXIMATELY FOUR FEET LONG AND SPANNED HALFWAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 62,000. AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. *AK

I HAVE 2 WINDSHIELDS FAIL IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS. MINOR PEBBLES HAVE CRACKED BOTH WINDSHIELDS AT LEAST 12 INCHES OR MORE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY OR MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. THERE IS A RISK SOMEONE WILL BE CRITICALLY HURT WHEN A LARGE STONE OR OTHER OBJECT HITS THIS GLASS. *JB

WINDSHIELD BROKEN. *JB

CRACKED WINDSHIELD @ 10K MILES. *JB

WITHIN 2500 MILES OF OWNING MY NEW FJ CRUISER A SMALL ROCK FLEW UP AND CHIPPED MY DRIVERS WINDSHIELD. WHILE IT IS NOT A VIEWING HAZARD AND HAS NOT EXPANDED YET I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD LOOK INTO USING A BETTER GRADE PRODUCT AS THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT IS COVERED WITH NO DETECTABLE UNDER MY INSURANCE BUT, OTHERS STATES DON'T HAVE THIS POLICY AND OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE A INFERIOR PRODUCT. *JB

I HAVE HAD MY FJ SINCE APRIL 23, 2006. THE WINDSHIELD ISSUE TOOK A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO CROSS MY PATH THAN IT SEEMS OTHERS. I WAS RIDING ALONG THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN I HEARD A SMALL SIZE PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. DIDN'T THINK THAT MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T VERY LOUD. WELL I WAS MISTAKEN. LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER IT HAD SPREAD TO A CRACK OF 6 INCHES. I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT REPAIRED. THAN I LOOKED AT THE FORUM AND SAW ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE BECAUSE I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE RECALL OR SUBSEQUENT REIMBURSEMENT. I DID HEAR OF A COMPANY CALLED CLEARPLEX WHERE THEY CAN STRENGTHEN THE WINDSHIELD BY ADDING A CLEAR THING PLASTIC PROTECTIVE COATING. DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE MY FJ, BUT THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THEY DID THE RIGHT THING WITH THE TIRE RECALL AND THAT WAS PROBABLY 750 PER CAR, REPLACING ALL 5 TIRES PLUS LABOR. I TRUST THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

WINDSHIELD CRACKED REPLACED, NOW 2ND ONE CRACKED. *JB

WINDSHIELD CRACKS WAY TO EASY. ASSUME IT'S THE ANGLE IT'S AT. I NEVER EVEN HEARD ANYTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND BELIEVE IT TO BE A STRESS CRACK, BUT THE DEALER DISAGREES. *JB

NEW TOYOTA FJ CRUISER 02-06-07 AND FIRST WINDSHIELD DAMAGED OCCURRED BEFORE 03-06-07 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON WEEKDAY MORNING ON OUTER LOOP OF 495 NEAR RT. 214. ABOUT SIZE OF PENCIL ERASER WITH CLEAR PATCH INSTALLED OVER TO KEEP CLEAN. EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS WASHED, CLEANED , ETC. MORE SCRATCHES, NICKS, WEAR AND TEAR IS APPEARING ON WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD WILL NEVER LAST AS LONG AS VEHICLE. BAD, CHEAP LAMINATE? ? ? SOMETHING?????? *JB

MY STORY IS THIS: AT ABOUT 3000 MILES I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ABOUT HALFWAY THERE (WE LIVE ABOUT 5 MILES OUT OF TOWN), I TOOK A ROCK CHIP. I PROMPTLY TURNED RIGHT AROUND, WENT BACK TO TOWN, WHILE THE GLASS SHOP WAS STILL OPEN, AND HAD THE CHIP REPAIRED. I PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND THAT VERY NIGHT IT CRACKED ABOUT 8". IT WAS IN THE FALL AS I REMEMBER, SO IT WAS NOT A PARTICULAR HOT NOR COLD DAY OR NIGHT. IT SEEMED TO ME AT THE TIME (AND STILL DOES) THAT THE WINDSHIELD MAY ACTUALLY BE "STRESSED" SOMEHOW, PUTTING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON IT, IN WAYS IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE. AT PRESENT, THE CRACK IS HOLDING STEADY (I FIXED THAT TOO). *JB

I HAVE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD GLASS ON THE 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER AND ALREADY I HAVE A CRACK CLEAR ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD, 4 CHIPS AND PITS EVERYWHERE. THE WAY TOYOTA DESIGNED THE GLASS TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE LEAVES YOU VULNERABLE. IT'S A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW, BECAUSE YOUR WINDSHIELD IS ALMOST AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE ROADWAY AND ANY TINY STONE WILL CREATE A BAD SITUATION. TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM THE GLASS APPEARS TO BE EXTREMELY TOO THIN. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FLAW, NOT THE CONSUMER. ESPECIALLY SINCE A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD COSTS A MERE $1500.00 DOLLARS A POP. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A SAFE SPEED AND DISTANCE FROM OTHER CARS, WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE A ROCK CAME AT MY WINDSHIELD AND PUT A LARGE CRACK IN IT. THE WINDSHIELD OF MY TOYOTA 2007 FJ SEEMS TO BE INAPPROPRIATELY WEAK. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH A VERTICAL WINDSHIELD AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS INCIDENT I AM DESCRIBING IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER HAS A LOT OF PITS IN IT. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 7,000 MILES ON IT AND I THINK THE PITTING IS EXCESSIVE. *TR

TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD. MULTIPLE DEEP CHIPS. GLASS CAN NOT WITHSTAND MINOR STONE IMPACT. *TR

SMALL PEBBLE HITS WINDSHIELD AND CRACK IS ONE FOOT LONG.. THIS HAPPEN WITH 800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THERE IS NOW 2300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE COST IS 1500.00 TO REPLACE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION CHECK THREADS ON FJCRUISERFORUM.COM. MANY THREADS WITH PEOPLE HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH FJ WINDSHIELD. THANKS FOR ANY HELP! *JB

ROCK CHIP CRACKED WINDSHIELD ON TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. A MONTH LATER A SECOND CRACK NOT CONNECTED TO THE FIRST BEGAN TO FORM. THIS SECOND CRACK WAS NOT DUE TO ANY ROCK CHIPS. THE FIRST CRACK EXTENDED FROM SIDE TO SIDE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD, THE SECOND FORMED AT A DIAGONAL ANGLE FROM DRIVERS SIDE TO NEAR TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. *JB

2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. LARGE CRACK IN MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD FROM A ROCK. OTHER CRACKS ARISE FROM JUST SMALL TINY DEBRIS STRIKING THE WINDSHIELD. GLASS NEEDS TO BE SCRATCH AND DENT RESISTANT. REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELDS COSTS AROUND 1400 DOLLARS. THIS IS BECAUSE THE INSTALLATION INVOLVES REMOVING A TOP MOLDING PIECE THAT BREAKS EASILY AND THE UNIQUE CUT OF THE GLASS. IF YOU REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, THE INSURANCE COMPANY COULD REFUSE TO INSURE YOU AFTER MULTIPLE INCIDENTS LIKE THIS BLATANT DEFECT. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE OF GETTING THE CRACKS FIXED , COMPROMISES WINDSHIELD INTEGRITY. ALSO ONCE YOU REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD IT IS REPLACED WITH FACTORY OEM GLASS. WHICH CAN CRACK AGAIN! THIS IS JUST FROM CITY DRIVING NOT EVEN LONG DISTANCE DRIVING! *JB

MY NEWLY PURCHASED FJ CRUISER HAS A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. I HAD A CHIP REPAIRED A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND NOW I HAVE A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVIOUS CHIP. AS OF YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, I DIDN'T HAVE A CRACK WHILE I WAS CLEANING OUT THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. LAST NIGHT WHEN I GOT INTO MY FJ, I NOTICED A CRACK THAT STARTS 3' TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER AND ARCHES TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WIPER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. ON 4/21/07 WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE ROCK CAUSED A SMALL INDENTATION ON THE LOWER CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. ON 4/23/07 WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND LEFT A SMALL INDENTATION ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. ON 4/24/07, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE WINDSHIELD HAD A LARGE CRACK BETWEEN THE INDENTATIONS. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. *AK UPDATED 05/21/07. *JB

FREQUENTLY BREAKING WINDSHIELD ON THE 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. *JB

WINDSHIELD CRACK UNDER THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN MICHIGAN. SMALL ROCK STROKE AND WINDOW CHIPPED AND SPATTERED. WINDSHIELD CHIPPED AND CRACKED WAY TOO EASILY. *AK

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I FREQUENT A FORUM CALLED FJCRUISERFORUMS.COM. WE HAVE TONS OF PROBLEMS WITH WINDSHIELDS ON THE FJ CRUISER. CRACKS ARE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE WINDSHIELDS. I OWNED A JEEP WRANGLER FOR 4 YEARS. I HAD ONE TIME THAT I RECEIVED A CRACK TO THE WINDSHIELD. SO, THE ANGLE OF THE WINDOW ON THE FJ IS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT MUST BE A CHEAPER GRADE OF GLASS. A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WEBSITE LISTED ABOVE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR WINDOW SEVERAL TIMES. I FORTUNATELY ONLY HAD ONE CRACK AS OF YET. BUT, I AM SURE THERE WILL BE MORE. THE CRACKS DEVELOP INTO A SPLINTERING EFFECT WHICH REQUIRES THE WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED. SO, INSURANCE PAYS AND PREMIUMS INCREASE OVER CHEAP GLASS. *AK

WINDSHIELD BREAKAGE. *AK

BAD WINDSHIELD GLASS, HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS AND HAD TWO CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD FROM VERY SMALL PEBBLES, HAD A LOT OF VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED SO EASILY. ALSO, BELONG TO AN OWNER'S S ONLINE FORUMS, AND THERE WERE HUNDREDS THREADS ON BRAND NEW FJ TOYOTA CRUISER WINDSHIELDS CRACKING. YOU CAN SEE OTHER DOCUMENTED WINDSHIELD PROBLEMS HERE: WWW.FJCRUISERFORUMS.COM. *AK

WINDSHIELD CHIPS WITH SLIGHTEST STONE OR DEBRIS. GLASS SEEMS OF INFERIOR QUALITY. SIDE DOORS GLASS HAS IMPERFECTIONS. *JB

CRACKED WINDSHIELD ON FJ CRUISER I AM ON WINDSHIELD NUMBER 2 AND THIS ONE IS ALSO CRACKED AT 1200 DOLLARS FOR REPLACEMENT. *JB

DRIVING ON LOOP 250 IN TOWN FOLLOWING A OTHER CARS, CLEAR DAY,DRY ROAD WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY SMALL ROCKS KICKED UP BY OTHER CARS.. ONE HIT TOP OF WINDSHIELD WHICH HAS CRACK THE GLASS DOWN AND OVER TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT 5-8 INCHES..THE OTHER IS ON THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT.. DIME SIZE DING NO CRACK. *JB

CRACKED WINSHIELD FROMA SMALL PEBBLE HIT. *AK

2247 MILES ON VEHICLE, IN 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD IS PITTED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS, SOME ARE STARTING TO CRACK. THE FIRST ONE OCCURRED BEFORE I HAD DRIVEN 500 MILES.*AK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CONCERNS PROPER VISIBILITY AND WINDSHIELD INTEGRITY. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH A NEAR VERTICAL WINDSHIELD LIKE MINE, AND THEY ARE NOT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE GLASS IS REALLY FRAGILE ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON A NEW WINDSHIELD TO COME INTO STOCK SO THAT IT CAN BE REPLACED.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A DAMAGED WINDSHIELD DUE TO A STONE HITTING THE WINDSHIELD ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 8500 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WINDSHIELD SA TVERY VERTICALLY, BUT THE ISSUE SEEMED TOYBE MORE OF A SUBSTANDARD QUALITY OF GLASS. I BELONG TO A FORUM IN WHICH NUMEROUS WINDSHIELD FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED, AND SOME WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. ANY ATTENTION GIVEN TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.*AK

BROKEN WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY A TINY PEBBLE. PITTING CAUSED BY SAND AND TINY PEBBLES ON THE ROAD. THE TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD SCARES ME DUE TO HOW FRAGILE THE GLASS IS. I CAN NOT SEE HOW THESE WINDSHIELDS COULD HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES WITH NEAR VERTICAL WINDSHIELDS IN MY LIFETIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD THEM CRACK THIS EASY. I EVEN SCRATCHED ONE OF THE WINDOWS WASHING BIRD DROPPINGS OFF OF THE GLASS. I ENDED UP REPLACING THAT WINDOW AS WELL. SOME ONE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS GLASS.*AK

MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES RPM GAIN WHEN TRYING TO STOP, AND A THE RPMS NEVER RESIDED BETWEEN SHIFTS OF GEARS OR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS BELOW 5 MPH. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING EMERGENCY SAFETY STOPS THE VEHICLE HAS ACTUALLY ACCELERATED DURING THE BRAKING PROCESS. TOYOTA EXPLAINED THAT THESE RPM CONDITIONS WERE DUE TO NEW TECHNOLOGY IN AUTOMOBILES.*AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 20 DEGREES THE CLUTCH HAD A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE CLUTCH DIDN'T COME OUT WHEN RELEASED, JERKING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY CALLED TOYOTA, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT THEY WERE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 450.*AK

ENGINE ACCELERATES TO 1500 RPM WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE THROTTLE WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (UNDER 1500 RPM). THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) TO SPEED UP INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE "ENGINE BRAKING" THAT ONE WOULD EXPECT. I FEEL THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND / OR ICY ROAD CONDITIONS. *JB

MY VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH FAILING TO QUICKLY RETURN TO IDLE SPEED WHEN I LET OFF THE THROTTLE OR SHIFT GEARS. IT DOES THIS CONSISTENTLY AND REPEATEDLY. THE OTHER DAY IT ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. WHEN I LET OFF THE THROTTLE, THE RPMS WILL CONTINUE AT A RELATIVELY HIGH RPM OR ACTUALLY CLIMB. THEN ABRUPTLY THE THROTTLE WILL "STAIR STEP" DOWN. IN THE SITUATION WHERE IT BECAME VERY DANGEROUS. I AM CRUISING ALONG ABOUT 40-45 MPH IN A DIFFERENT AREA. I POP OVER A LITTLE RISE AND ALL I SEE ARE TAIL LIGHTS AND CARS SPINNING AND SLIDING EVERYWHERE. I EASE OFF THE THROTTLE AND LIKE USUAL, NOTHING HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY. PRECIOUS FEET ARE CHEWED BEFORE THE TRUCK EVEN BEGINS TO SLOW. INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN GRACEFULLY, THE RPM HANG ACTUALLY ACTS ALMOST LIKE A CRUISE CONTROL. AS I JUST START TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE TO ACTUALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE, THE ECU FINALLY DECIDES TO CHOP THE THROTTLE. BY CHOP I MEAN ABRUPTLY CUT OFF FUEL TO THE MOTOR. AT THIS POINT I AM NOTHING BUT GLARE ICE, GOING DOWN HILL ON AN OFF CAMBER TURN. SO INSTEAD OF A GRADUAL REDUCTION AND SMOOTH SHIFT OF WEIGHT, THE CHOPPED THROTTLE ALLOWS THE TAIL TO NOW SLIDE OUT TO THE RIGHT QUITE A BIT. I DON??T DARE TOUCH THE THROTTLE TO TRY AND FINESSE IT A BIT SINCE IT DOESN'T LISTEN TO WHAT I WANT TO DO. THE NON-LINEAR THROTTLE RESPONSE PUT ME IN A SITUATION THAT I ALMOST DIDN'T RECOVER FROM. IT WAS ALMOST AS THOUGH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, I JAMMED ON THE REAR PARKING BRAKE TO SLIDE THE REAR AROUND.

TL *- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE INSTALLATION OF DUNLOP TIRES. THE CONTACT CURRENTLY HAS NO TIRE DAMAGE, BUT WASCONCERNED THAT A BULGE COULD DEVELOP AT ANY TIME AND CREATE A PROBLEM LATER. THE CONTACT WANTED ALL FIVE TIRES REPLACED AS STATED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 12000.*AK

2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WAS DRIVEN ON EDGE OF TERRA COTTA PIPE WHILE PULLING INTO A DRIVE WAY AND GOT STUCK. AFTER BEING PULLED OUT, VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THE NEXT DAY. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES, VEHICLE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. OWNER OF VEHICLE CALLED A MECHANIC WHO FOUND THAT THE FRAME HAD BEEN TWISTED AND THE RADIATOR WAS BUSTED WHICH CAUSED $15,500 WORTH OF BODY AND ENGINE DAMAGE. INSURANCE AND MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY REFUSED TO COVER ENGINE DAMAGE. VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED AS EXTREMELY DURABLE 4X4 WITH PICTURES ON WEBSITE DEMONSTRATING VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN ALL TYPES OF TERRAIN SUCH AS MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS. VEHICLE HAS NO COVER PROTECTING BOTTOM FRONT OF RADIATOR AND CROSSMEMBER IS NOT VERY DURABLE. VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT HAVE A LOW COOLANT DETECTION SYSTEM IN CASE OF COOLANT LOSS. COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER ENGINE OVERHEATING IN CASES OF COOLANT LOSS SO OWNER HAD NO IDEA ENGINE WAS BEING DAMAGED. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P0300 ENGINE MISFIRE WAS ONLY CODE STORED IN PCM MEMORY. PCM DID NOT DETECT OVERHEATING CONDITION. PLEASE HELP AS MANUFACTURER WILL NOT HONOR VEHICLE'S WARRANTY WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

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
