2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser Complaints

2011 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. CUSTOMER WOULD LIKE THE CAR TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL REGARDING PREMATURE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *TA TOYOTA CLAIMED THERE WERE SIGNS OF WATER IN THE ENGINE INTAKE AIR SYSTEM AND THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAGS. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS SON DID DRIVE THROUGH A FIELD WITH WATER AND MUD. HOWEVER, IT WAS AFTER THE AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED, SO THE PRESENCE OF WATER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEPLOYMENT. *JB

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA TO HAVE THE AUXILIARY LIGHT KIT REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING A HAZARD. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER 4 TIMES OVER A 6 MONTH PERIOD TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT DONE, AND YET IT HAS STILL NOT BEEN PERFORMED. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE IT IS LIKELY ONLY A HAZARD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC MORE SO THAN TO OURSELVES, BUT WE ARE UPSET THAT THE TOYOTA DEALER HAS NOT YET COMPLETED THE REPLACED THE HAZARDOUS LIGHTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. NOTE, THE DATE OF FIRST INCIDENT IS APPROXIMATE. DEALER INFO: BIG TWO TOYOTA OF CHANDLER, 480-302-4651. THEY ARE LOCATED IN CHANDLER ARIZONA. *TR

MY ISSUE STARTED AROUND JUNE, I GET THE WHEEL SHAKE/ SHIMMY AT SPEEDS OF 55-65. TOYOTA SEES THE SHAKE IS THERE AND THEN BALANCES THE TIRES AND SAYS ITS FIXED . TOYOTA INSPECTED THE TRUCK SAYING NOTHING IS BROKEN BENT OR ANYTHING SAYING THEY DON'T THINK ANYTHING IS WRONG. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE SHAKE IS THERE AND THEY KEEP BLAMING THAT THE ROAD IS CAUSING THE SHAKE. SAYING ITS A CROWING. IN THE ROAD. I'VE WENT TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO GET IT INSPECTED THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND THEN 2 MORE TIMES I WENT THERE AND THEN THEY ADMIT IT AND TRY FIXING IT. I AM VERY UPSET WITH TOYOTA AND CORPORATE . I FEEL SCARED TO DRIVE IT ABOVE 50 BECAUSE THERE IS A BAD SHAKE. AND FEELS UNSAFE ITS CAUSING THE CAR TO BE ALL OVER THE ROAD. *TR

THE ISSUE STARTED ON 8/23/2012 WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 IN SC, MY 2011 FJ CRUISER TRAIL TEAMS EDITION TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. THE VERY NEXT DAY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN WEST COLUMBIA, SC TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AS THE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF THAT NIGHT. HOWEVER, THEY DID DISCOVER AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF ERROR CODE MESSAGES FROM THE CPU SYSTEM AND THOUGHT THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LIGHT TO INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON/OFF. THE DEALERSHIP RESET ALL ERROR MESSAGES AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. AS IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO REASON TO WORRY ABOUT IT. A WEEK LATER, WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON I-95 IN NC, THE SAME INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED BACK ON, THIS TIME FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY TRIP HOME TO MD. AFTER CONTACTING TOYOTA OF BOWIE TO INSPECT THE ISSUE, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. SOON THEREAFTER, THE SAME INDICATOR LIGHT TURN...

VEHICLE EXHIBITS STEERING SHIMMY BETWEEN 55-65 MPH, VEHICLE CAN NOT MAINTAIN STABLE PERFORMANCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOYOTA HAVE REPLACE BOTH WHEEL AND TIRES AND HAVE THE SAME RESULT. FJ CRUISERS ARE HAVING A PROBLEM, AND TOYOTA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ON THIS SAFTEY ISSUE. *TR
