“Seat belt does not retract properly, it hangs up after a few inches. The frequency of this problem is 90% of the retracts. I told the dealer 4 times, they stated they couldn't find the problem. I scoff. Steering my car requires constant input to go straight, especially on the freeways. Before I know it I'm in the next lane. There is no neutral area in the center while going straight. I had an alignment and replaced all the tires, it still has this hazard. Brakes they pulse when slowing only at high speed. (65 MPH) I do not ride the brakes, or run the car hard. …”
NHTSA complaint #11115094, filed 2018-08, 5,000 miles“#8 - steering problem of the 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser the vehicle is a 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser. This vehicle can not maintain safe highway speeds of 55 to 60 MPH due to severe wheel shimmy. I have had these wheels force balance about a dozen times, still having the same issue. Why won't Toyota look into this problem. I have tried new tires and still the same problem, so I put back the original tires and replace the rims, still the same problem..this is costing consumers a lot of money and time. Now I am replacing the rotors to see if that helps. …”
