What owners report
Passenger front seat belt will not retract anymore and a passenger hit the windshield during a hard braking incident. I looked online and saw NHTSA 13V098000 about the seat belt retractor being recalled, but we were never notified.
My Toyota fj cruiser has frame rot issues. Will not pass an inspection because of the frame rot problem.my Toyota has less than 79000 miles on it and looks to be in excellent condition on the interior and exterior. Toyota knows about the problem and refuses to take responsibility for it .Is there anything I can do about it.. Got a verbal quote to replace ( it's gonna cost about 9500 to repair ) could be more after they start to replace and if they find more problems.
RUST TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR NOT CONSUMMATE WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE, RUST TO THE STRAPS THAT SECURE THE FUEL TANK. POINTS THAT AFFIX THE BRAKE LINES TO THE VEHICLE FRAME HAVE RUSTED TO THE POINT THEY'RE NO LONGER AFFIXED TO THE FRAME. THE RATE AT WHICH RUST GESTATES ON THIS VEHICLE (AND I AM MUCH MORE ATTENTIVE THAN THE TYPICAL CONSUMER) IS UNSAFE AND WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE UNSAFE CONDITIONS AS THESE VEHICLES RAPIDLY DETERIORATE. THE RUST PREVENTION METHODS USED BY THE FACTORY ARE ENTIRELY INADEQUATE.
LOWER CONTROL ARMS RUSTED. NEED REPLACED COULDN'T ADJUST THEM FOR ALIGNMENT. FRAME RUSTING FRONT AND REAR DIFF RUSTING. STOCK SKID PLATE REPLACED RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY. I THOROUGHLY WASH SALT OFF MY VEHICLE, YET IT STILL HAS RUSTED JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL FRAME RECALL TOYOTA HASN'T GOTTEN IT RIGHT. NEED ANOTHER RECALL. I'VE LIVED WITH MINE, BUT OTHERS HAVE IT MUCH WORSE.
THE VEHICLE HAS HEAVY RUST ALL ALONG THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRAME. I HAVE FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND TO REMOVE AS MUCH OF THIS RUST AS POSSIBLE TOYOTA WILL CHARGE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $800 AND $1,000.
