What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota fj cruiser. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the instrument panel lighting and gauges began to fluctuate erratically as the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician advised that the ABS system would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred.
1. I was driving home from work and was on the highway. The cars in front of me came to an abrupt stop, causing me to slam my breaks while I was doing 40-ish. 2. This caused the car to bake stumble as the breaks slowed the car, then came lose causing the car to lunge forward, then momentarily brake, then lose braking again. This caused me to almost slam in to the car in front of me. 3. I have not taken corrective action as this should addressed by toyota as there are many many people describing the same issue.
