Condition is continuous: when veh. Is in motion or parked with motor running or motor is not running.. Back door of vehicle canot be unlocked with a key as suggested on page 40 of owners manual.. Or when using wireless remote, or door switch.this condition was first noticed when the vehicle was parked and motor not running.. Driver and passenger doors do work properly with the key. Both side doors work properly using a key as descibed on page 35 of the owners manual., the glass hatch cannot be opend with a ket as suggested on page 45 of the owners manual, I do not know the cause of this malfunction.,these conditions are a safety hazzard.

The vehicles frame is considerably rusted when taking into account the age and use of the vehicle, it has less than 50k at the time of submission.

Frame corrosion and complete frame failure. The area compromised affected the steering of the vehicle. Luckily, the failure was discovered before failure at Highway speeds . No warning of any kind prior to failure. The vehicle is currently at a Toyota dealership awaiting a complete frame replacement . Should the failure have occurred at Highway speed, this would have been a catastrophic event as the front end/ steering would have been dramatically affected

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Toyota fj cruiser. The contact stated while the vehicle was at a stand still, the rear tailgate door was unable to open. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

Frame is severely rusting. We took to Toyota dealer to get a loose skid plate attached, and mechanic told us that they had to remove it because "there was nothing left to attach to as the frame has rusted away. The frame, attachment points, supports, axles and suspension pieces are extremely rusty. We were advised by mechanic to dispose of the car because it would soon be undriveable. 98000 mile, 9 year old, babied, dealer maintained car.

I was driving my vehicle when the plastic foot rest I had my foot on broke off. I was adjusting my body in the seat and when it broke off it went under my brake pedal and I could not compress my brakes. I took it to the dealership and told them and even when it had 30k miles on it, they told me it wasn't covered under warranty and wasn't a concern. I could have been killed or worse, killed someone else by not being able to stop my vehicle. *tr

We have had a complete brake failure in the vehicle two times since we have owned it. The first time I was driving the vehicle in 15-20 MPH stop and go traffic. I attempted to brake and the pedal felt like a brick and would not move. I quickly removed my foot off the pedal and attempted to depress the pedal again. It did slow the vehicle down but felt jittery as the pedal moved closer to the floor. I did not bring the vehicle in for assessment that time as it did not happen again on the way home, there was no service light on my dashboard signaling a malfunction, and I guess I downplayed the situation in my mind. The second time the brakes failed my husband was driving the vehicle. He was driving approximately 35 MPH getting ready to slow down as a light up ahead turned yellow.

I was on a highway at 70 miles per hour(speed limit of that part of highway). I started to try to decelerate to exit the highway with braking, the brakes failed to engaged, depressed brake harder and the ABS started to engaged briefly then stopped. I started to pump the brakes and they finally engaged. I almost flipped the vehicle over going around the turn of the exit( which I had already committed to the turn) because my speed was too high. If the brakes did not catch after pumping them, I would have been in a serious accident. I proceeded to take the car to the dealer and appraised them of the problem. The technician stated the braking system worked normally. No codes of any pending or past problems in the computer dealing with the system. I do not feel safe and I am afraid this m

Frame is rusting really bad. Toyota already replace the trd coil springs on each side due to rust

Purchased vehicle driving the vehicle had slight problem with steering then we noticed the car was on a slant. Two to three inch difference from left bumped to ground and the right bumper. Brought to a dealer two times and still an inch difference. I then measured two othe fj cruisers in their lot and noticed it is on all the fj's we were told nothing they can do they contacted headquarters and they are sorry. The car is off from one side to the other and they are aware of this problem but will not help me and fix the problem.

Intermediate Steering Shaft Weld Failure: Recall concern. My car was built 7/25/2014. Recalls were initiated for FJ’s within the following date ranges 8/7/2013 - 8/20/2013 for this issue. My FJ has the same issue confirmed by three Toyota Dealership Service Departments. Revisiting the Recall Status is needed. Thank you for your attention.

I purchased a new fj cruiser & put 5,039 on it & then installed aftermarket wheels & tires. After 2 weeks the vehicle developed a shimmy in the steering at 48 to 65 m.p.h.. I had the tires balanced 4 times & the tire shop also replaced the wheels with no success at eliminating the shimmy. I reinstalled the factory wheels & tires but the shimmy is still present but not as pronounced. I searched the internet for information & found that Toyota has had this problem with their fj cruiser models for years. They have chosen not to fix the problem. How many of theses fj cruisers are on our highways? *tr

Mice or rats consume the soy-based wires. They consumed one of the fuel injection wires on my 2014 FJ. The Toyota dealership charged me $896 for the new connector that was located under the intake manifold.

On 7/18/15 at about 11:10 am in the newly paved parking lot of the lowes, latham, new york, the alloy rim of driver side front wheel split (rim into two pieces) causing the tire to blow out and the vehicle to graze the a light pole. The tire, wheel and rim did not hit anything prior to the rim failure. There were no potholes or obstructions in the lot. Even in grazing the light pole, the tire did not make contact with the pole, only the outer fender flare made contact. This was a spontaneous failure of the rim. Insurance investigation confirms the rim failure. Toyota denies rim failure. The rim and all parts removed from the vehicle are available for inspection.
