The frame has rusted so badly it no longer is road safe and the frame needs to be replaced. Large hole in frame on front passenger side, and bad rusting all over. Mechanics said this is a known issue with FJ and Tacoma frames, and in my case the only solution is to replace the frame, which will cost (with associated work) $22K.

Owner of a 2010 FJ Cruiser. The amount of corrosion on the frame and components is very high for the age of the vehicle, it leads to significant safety concerns (Including gas tank straps are corroded). Toyota should rectify this issue as it seems like they did a poor job on this model to isolate against rust the frame. There should be a Recall for a re-treatment of the frame (Just like they did on the Tundra and Tacoma models).

Single Toyota 2010 FJ Cruiser Owner. Over the last 10/11 have been really diligent taking care of my truck, unfortunately due to what seems very poor quality steel or treatment of the frame and some parts when was build by Toyota, it has cause severe rust/rotten issue leading not only to significant safety concerns (broken gas tank straps and fuel lines) but also a significant amount of money spend treating the frame and part to prevent further corrosion that could\will eventually lead to complete failure.

Own a 2010 Toyota Fj cruiser. The frame is covered in rust. I have researched this and know this is an on going problem with these vehicles. Toyota should be doing something about this. We found even more rust recently once we had a change to get under the vehicle. No car I have owned at this much rust on it in such a short time.

Woke up and found my windshield cracked from the bottom driver's side corner to the middle of the windshield. Upon closer inspection, it appears that if it was caused by anything striking it, it was most likely a large bug. The suspected point of impact was not pitted and the grime at that point rubs away easily. I was told before buying this vehicle that the windshield has been replaced once already. Talking with other Fj cruiser owners, I found out that cracked windshields on these vehicles are fairly common and it was suggested that I file a complaint here. Hopefully in the long run, something will be done about this recurring issue. Thank you for reading.

2010 Toyota Fj cruiser; the hood latch keeps releasing thanks to the safety catch it hasn't opened all the way yet. This has happened three (3) times already on the highway I am going to have to tie it down I cant figure what is wrong why it stays shut for some time then just happens to open and I can see the hood bounce up and down.this could cause a real problem if the safety catch fails as well?
