Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have not been notified of any recalls by Toyota listed by the NHTSA for this vehicle. I have been experiencing longer, wobbly stopping for a while now. Recently replaced brake pads and it got a little better but not much. Had I been notified of the recall issues I would have taken it to the dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10970876, filed 2017-04, 140,000 miles“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”
NHTSA complaint #11000878, filed 2017-06, 77,000 miles“The seat belt retractor in my 2007 Fj Cruiser is failing to function correctly. 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, Toyota is telling me that I will have to pay to have these parts replaced. In doing some research I have discovered that others are having this same issue. I'm disappointed that Toyota has not issued a recall for this issue to correct their error in craftsmanship.”
NHTSA complaint #10822204, filed 2016-01, 105,000 miles“I believe that seat belts are one of the most important safety features on a car and should last the life of a car. I am very surprised that the seat belts on this car started to show a failing trend at almost 40000 miles. Both passenger and driver sides are failing, retracting and locking-up issues. Passenger side completely failed yesterday, it is locked up. Cost to fix is very expensive. .many fj owners are reporting the same problem, I encourage those with the same issue to file a complaint rather than posting it on Fj Cruiser forum. …”
NHTSA complaint #10441118, filed 2011-12, 70,000 miles“Went to gas station today to fill up my fj with gas and the fuel tank straps broke in 2 places. The bolted and pinned connections are still there but the actual straps have deteriorated and snapped right in half. The fuel tank is now hanging down completely in the rear. First the rear differential manufacturer's defect which they would not pay for at all, now the front seat belt does not work at all and now the fuel tank is about to fall off on the road. What a hazard.”
