Toyota FJ Cruiser

"Calipers seized at 70k miles and both front calipers needed to be replaced"

"Pads and rotors lasted 61K miles but piston failure caused loss of braking power that could have caused driving accident"

"I drive on the beach a lot so this is not a uncommon problem with 4WD trucks driving on a sandy beach."

"One of the front calipers would stick against the rotor in the braking position, causing extreme vibration in the steering. This was intermittent, off and on."

"Both front wheel calipers locked up. Vehicle could not be driven. Both calipers and rotors required replacement."

"Bought it with 127000 miles. The brakes felt soft so we replaced the calipers, rotors and pads, just to be on the safe side."

"break pads were replaced in front"

"Put new brake pads on"

"It needed new brakes after 9 years"

"Had to replace the cable. The majority of the work has been in the under-belly of the vehicle. This was just one of the many things that needed replacing"

"When checking the rear emergency break system they found that it was broken in half."

"driving on dirt roads in our town leads to premature brake pad and rotor wear"

"I experienced the pulsation every time I drove the vehicle."

"Caused by sticking caliper piston."

"car vibrates at 45 miles an hour. balancing and alignment did not fix it"

"Brakes didn't work well; pulsating so badly I had to get new rotors."

"The brakes on the FJ are constantly sqeaking and grinding and always has"

"The driver side rear wheel squeaks on light braking. This problem appeared about 2 years ago. toyota couldn't find the source of the squeaking problem, but suggested I replace the relatively new non-Toyota pads with Toyota pads at a cost of $200. This did not solve the problem and the dealership refused to refund the cost of repairs. I took the vehicle to Firestone and they said the problem was related to the axle bearings. $1400 later the problem is still instill unresolved"

"Rubber trim around windows is falling off. Rims are rusting and bubbling."

"Trim around windows has peeled away and the metal beneath is showing rust."

"Black window molding came off."

"This is our SECOND FJ Cruiser. It has the SAME paint chipping problems as the other. Very irritating."

"paint chips from road kick back particles"

"Vodoo Blue exterior paint chips"

"Paint chips and paint poorly applied"

"Peeling around the edges of the doors and on the roof"

"cracking and rough texture"

"Paint is fading, wheels are rusting, rubber trim is coming off"

"Paint has faded and looks abraded by the elements."

"The vehicle failed state safety inspection because of rusted frame. Frame structures had to be rebuilt in order to pass inspection. Previously I had been unaware of this problem even though the local dealer that had been maintaining the vehicle had not mentioned the problem."

"brush guard is rusted"

"rust on panel over windshield"

"Hinges on rear door and tire carrier rusting."

"The 4WD system has a solenoid locking front hub that is known to be faulty. Mine is currently not working and will have to be taken apart and repaired. The cost estimate is $900"

"It broke and was repaired"

"The differential bearings went out and had to be replaced"

"Differential was grinding and very noisy and needed replacement"

"Last yr the differential, (rear) went out. This happened once before , 2 yrs prior"

"Replaced rear differential gears"

"bad seal oil leak"

"Traction control errors that pop up on my dashboard every now and then they mysteriously go away after a few days and I have taken it into a shop or two and no one has found any issues."

"Seals were leaking, gaskets needed to be replaced."

"Had to replace it"
