What owners wrote

No crashes. Failure every time I drive the vehicle. Front end vibrations are a sign of front end design problems that could be early signs of front end fatigue and not simply tire/wheel balance issues.

Sever rusting of frame, break and suspension components and brackets. This 2008 toyota fj cruiser is quickly becoming a safety hazard on the roads. I have a 92 sabb and a 93 VW that don't have have the rust issues this toyota has. Toyota should have recalled the fj cruisers for faulty frames and undercarriage long ago.
