“My 2000 Toyota landcruiser has experience excessive undercarriage rust similar to the tundra models reported. Recently the brakes on my vehicle failed due to brake lines rusting through. When we tried to apply the emergency brake, it did not stop the vehicle since it had rusted through as well and was inoperable. Fortunately we were not driving fast as we would have no way to stop the vehicle from crashing.”
NHTSA complaint #10312767, filed 2010-02, 102,000 miles“Complete and total braking failure. Zero brake pressure, complete loss of stopping force. Abs failed, all warning lights illuminated. This caused the vehicle to proceed uncontrolled down the road for a couple of kilometers due to driving down hill till it was slowed enough by resistance to pull off the road and call a tow truck. Again, it was a complete and total brake failure, diagnosed by Toyota as a failed ABS pumping and accumulator system.”
NHTSA complaint #10744088, filed 2015-07, 120,000 miles“The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser. While driving various speeds, the traction control warning indicator illuminated, which caused the brakes to engage and the vehicle's speed to suddenly decrease. When the failure occurred, the vehicle decreased 10-15 MPH in speed. The failure occurred on approximately five occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for repairs, but the failure persisted. On the most recent occasion, the rear passenger side wheel seized due to the failure. …”
