2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser

READ DIFFERENTIAL HAS FAILED. YEARS AFFECTED ARE 2007-2009. IN 2010 TOYOTA ISSUED AN UPDATED STRONGER VERSION OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHEN DIFFERENTIAL FAILS IT CAN LOCK UP BOTH WHEELS AT HIGH SPEEDS THUS LOSING CONTROL. THERE ARE OVER 2000 COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND OVER 10000 COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTA ALONE. IT IS NOT ONLY COSTLY IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. MINE BROKE AT 40 MPH AND I ENDED UP IN A DITCH. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DOING 60 OR 70

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED - HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THEN I WAS STILL UNSURE IF THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY STOP. HAD TWIN 3 YEAR OLD BOYS IN THE CAR, SCARED FOR OUR LIVES. DASHBOARD LITE UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. SECOND SHOP DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. PARTS PLUS LABOR = $3,066. I WORK FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT SORT OF MONEY. WILL TOW IT HOME, HOPEFULLY FIND A USED PART, AND TRY TO REPLACE IT OURSELVES. THE ONLY REASON I'M LOGGING A COMPLAINT (BECAUSE CARS NEED REPAIRS AND I UNDERSTAND THAT) IS BECAUSE I'M SEEING THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER AGAIN "MASTER CYLINDER TOYOTA FJ CRUISER 2007". HOW CAN SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE GO UNHEARD? PLEASE HELP, MAKE THE MASTER CYLINDER RECALL APPLY TO THE FJ CRUISER. IT OBVIOUSLY SHOULD BE INCLUDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IN MY 2007 FJ CRUISER HAS FAILED TO FUNCTION. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT TO THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE. INSTEAD, BAYRIDGE TOYOTA IS TELLING ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THESE PARTS REPLACED. I'M HORRIFIED THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE TO CORRECT, TOYOTA SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. EMERGENCY BRAKES WOULDN'T GO ON

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MY ANTI-LOCK BREAKS ARE ENGAGING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T BE. WHEN I TRY TO STOP, IT JERKS SO HARD THAT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. IT WILL TRY TO STOP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND STARTS JERKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY SON IS 20 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS VEHICLE NOW AND I AM LETTING YOU KNOW, THAT I WILL HOLD TOYOTA AND NHTSA PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HIM. I HAVE READ SO ABOUT SO MANY ISSUES REGARDING THE 2007 TOYOTA FJ BREAKING SYSTEM THAT IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED. YOU ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT OR PULL-OUT. IT IS PULLED ENOUGH TO SNAP INTO THE BUCKLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE SAFETY BELT RECALL THAT COVERED ADDED REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS. THESE REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS WERE ADDED TO THE FJ ON 4/6/2017. THE QUOTE TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM WAS $330. I CANNOT CARRY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT DUE TO THE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. IS THIS ISSUE COVERED BY ANY RECALLS?

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER THAT HAS VERY BAD RUST PROBLEMS. I HAVE INCLUDED PHOTOS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF INSIDE AND OUT. I OWN A 2014 HIGHLANDER, AND HAVE OWNED A SCION AND AVALON AND NONE HAVE HAD ANY RUST ISSUES. I HAD INTENDED TO TOW A BOAT WITH THIS BUT AFTER A TOYOTA OF KINGSPORT DEALER RUST INSPECTION HE SAID, 'THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST UNDER THE TRUCK, IT IS NOT SAFE TO TOW WITH BECAUSE OF RUST DAMAGE. THERE APPEARS TO BE OTHER RUST DAMAGE TO CRITICAL AREAS OF THE FRAME'. I HAVE HAD OTHER MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND THEY ALL AGREE THAT THE FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND ANYTHING TOUCHING IT THAT IS RUSTED. ONE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE VENT FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS RUSTED OVER PREVENTING IT FROM VENTING PROPERLY. WE REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID BUT HE SAID IT MAY BE IN POOR SHAPE ALSO. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF RUST AND IS DUE TO MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM OR POOR RUST COATING FROM THE FACTORY. I THINK THAT TOYOTA MIGHT WANT TO INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE AND DETERMINE WHY IT RUSTED SO BADLY. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OR INFORMATION JUST LET ME KNOW. I REALIZE SOME OF THIS IS SURFACE RUST.

PURCHASED FJ CRUISER IN 2010 WITH APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON IT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, UPON ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEED, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING; HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION STOPPED AS I ACCELERATED TO A HIGHER SPEED. I NOTICED THAT THIS ONLY OCCURRED WHEN I STARTED WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN D(RIVE) BUT NEVER OCCURRED IF I STARTED WITH GEAR SHIFT IN D2. COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP(TOYOTA SOUTH IN MORROW, GA) WHILE STILL WITHIN THE 60,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY EVEN SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE MY U-BOLT. IN 2013, AFTER STARTING MY FJ, I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND, SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO OIL STARVATION. I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE UNTIL THIS YEAR(2016). I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS. HOWEVER, THIS YEAR I'M FINALLY TOLD THAT MY ENGINE IS FINE, BUT I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION THAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. TO MAKES MATTERS EVEN WORSE, THE SHADY DEALERSHIP KEPT NO RECORD OF MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT OF COURSE, THEY PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE.
