Toyota continues to have a significant problem with the ra61f transmission and clutch assembly in their 2001 to 2017 tacoma & fj cruisers that most probably affect over 20,000 vehicles. The clutch release bearings continually fail accounting for significant damage, expense, and risk for their owners over their years of ownership. Only after 9 years was the problem officially acknowledged with a toyota tsb that did nothing to correct the problem (t-sb-0365-10). Instead, the tsb recommendations were nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to throw parts at the problem in an effort 'run-out' the warranties on the affected vehicles. This problem is also an issue of safety, as the failure of the clutch release bearing can cause loss of control over the vehicle's power train, and by extension, loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle manufacture's implied warranty of merchantability in their written advertising is/was false and deceptive. Toyota continues to sell these vehicles with both defective engineering and parts in their transmission/clutch assemblies. Toyota having ignored the problem from 2001-2010 is unethical, and the nhtsb's collusion with toyota to not issue a recall for all vehicles affected by this issue should be investigated and owners compensated. The toyota tacoma & fj cruiser between the years of 2001 and 2017 should be recalled, toyota should be investigated for covering-up this issue, and an actual fix for the problems or toyota 'buy-back' should be offered. As the owner of a 2014 fj cruiser with only 32k road miles, who recently had a clutch release bearing fail while on the highway in alaska - i do not appreciate having my life, my property, and the lives of others put at risk during the operation of a defective unsafe product.

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

Known problem by manufacturers. Extreme damage to wiring harness and components within engine compartment by rodent. Vehicle has 13,837 miles only. New wiring standards reportedly draw rodents and/or increase amount of damage to vehicle systems. Vehicle was parked less than 7 hours and when turned ignition to vehicle, instrument panel illuminated every safety warning to include engine light flashing. Engine sputtered and required tow. Insurance company reports high number of claims especially related to newer cars with wiring. Damage to wiring if driven could cause vehicle systems to fail, fire and could cause grave risk of injury or death to operator and passengers. Manufacturer does not cover in warranty nor provides preventive remedy to issue.

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.

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.

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. He attempted to brake but like my situation, it was like hitting a brick. He held down the pedal and it finally depressed after about 2 seconds, slowing the vehicle down. The vehicle was brought into the dealership that day for assessment. They have stated they did not find any issues with the vehicle and could no duplicate the malfunction of the brakes. I have notified toyota as i want to return the vehicle for safety concerns. I do not want to trade in the vehicle as it is unsafe to be driven by anyone. As it is, i need to drive the vehicle daily to take my daughter to school and do not feel safe in the vehicle. *tr

I bought my 2014 fj cruiser brand new with 5 miles on it. 6 months into owning it the driver door locks stopped working. The dealer replaced it under warranty. About a year later the passenger locks stopped working and they replaced those under warranty. About 1-1/2 years later the driver lock (that was already replaced) stopped working again. I had 34,000 miles on it and they told me that it's no longer covered under warranty. I told them that the lock they replaced went out but the dealer said the replacement warranty is only good for 1 year after the repair! Shortly after the passenger lock went out again as well. And now the back door wont even unlock with the key fob or even manually with the key. The door lock actuators on the cars are terrible! I went to the dealer and the service manager told me they were having a lot of issues with the toyota locks and for me to keep an eye out for a recall! It's been 3 years now that i've been without locks and no recall! Dealer quoted me $900 to fix one door! $360 for the part and the rest labor. Ridiculous especially because they have already replaced these parts in the past under warranty!! What good is it to pay for the same part they already 'replaced' just for them to go out so soon!!!

When the car is driven over 55mile per hour the steering wheel start to shake and to vibrate violently making the car very unstable and unsafe to drive.Took back to the toyota dealer but they were unsuccessful of fixing it. After multiple attempts by the car dealer ,as of today the steering wheel fluttering and vibration hasn't been fixed. *tr

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 may happen again and i will not be so lucky next time. *tr

New 2014 fj cruiser trails teams edition with bfgoodrich t/a ko tires cause vibration and steering wheel shimmy. *tr

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
