After buying my vehicle I have began to notice a growing rust problem that is not due to salt water or other environmental conditions, but clearly a defect in manufacturing. After joining a few Facebook groups with other FJ owners I-??ve found countless other people have had the same problem and that without massive trust removal my vehicle is expected to have failures in the frame and suspension at some point.

The rear fuel tank strap broke due to corrosion and it was retained. The Fuel tank was spotted hanging lower than normal after driving on a long trip on a vacation. I removed the tank shield and have removed the vehicle from service until new tank straps arrive. No police or insurance have been contacted. There was no warning of this failure or evidence this failure was imminent.

The rear gas tank strap snapped on the vehicle (the strap side facing to the outside of the vehicle). The strap failed due to rust. The strap must have snapped when I hit a bump in the road. However, I did not know that the strap had failed until I happened to be standing behind the vehicle one day and noticed the tank sagging. Therefore, I do not know how many days that I had been driving around with the tank hanging, supported only by the front strap. But I think that possibly I noticed the failure within one day of the failure. The red strap in the photo is my temporary support until I can have the straps replaced.

The foot rest assembly which is plastic and fastened to the floor board with protruding screws, snapped off while driving. The dangerous aspect of it, was that it slid towards the brake pedal and caused me to skillfully pull over the vehicle while sliding the part from under pedal with left foot. This could have been an extremely dangerous situation.

I attempted to submit my vehicle to the service department at Toyota of longview, in longview, Texas, in response to safety recall notice titled "certain 2008 through 2011 model year Fj cruiser vehicles equipped with trd accessory wheels and Toyota-recommended light truck tires." I requested the TPMS ECU be replaced, the cold tire inflation pressure be revised and a new tire/loading label installed. Toyota of longview refused to perform the recommended work unless I paid a $99 diagnostic fee. The recall notice stated these components will be replaced at no charge to me. I believe these components must be replaced notwithstanding the service department mechanic's opinion. Please advise on how to proceed.

Just bought a brand new Fj cruiser and within 2 months the windshield is cracked. In two places. They are impact but I have heard this is a very big problem with the SUVS.
