What owners wrote
Whenever the vehicle is in 4 wheel drive it is unsafe on slippery weather conditions. Difficult to control 3 times I've used this car on icy conditions going no more than 35 or 40 miles an hour and I have slipped the most recent time was easter and the car literally rolled out of control.
While driving my certified pre-owned fj at 65MPH, I experience significant steering wheel shimmy where the steering wheel oscillated left and right at least15 degrees in each direction. As soon as vehicle speed dropped to 64MPH, the oscillation stopped. This is repeatable. The vehicle has stock wheels and tires.
