Rust to the frame of the car not consummate with the age of the vehicle, rust to the straps that secure the fuel tank. Points that affix the brake lines to the vehicle frame have rusted to the point they're no longer affixed to the frame. The rate at which rust gestates on this vehicle (and I am much more attentive than the typical consumer) is unsafe and will continue to create unsafe conditions as these vehicles rapidly deteriorate. The rust prevention methods used by the factory are entirely inadequate.

Lower control arms rusted. Need replaced couldn't adjust them for alignment. Frame rusting front and rear diff rusting. Stock skid plate replaced rusted through completely. I thoroughly wash salt off my vehicle, yet it still has rusted just like the original frame recall Toyota hasn't gotten it right. Need another recall. I've lived with mine, but others have it much worse.

The vehicle has heavy rust all along the undercarriage and frame. I have friends and acquaintances that have the same problem and to remove as much of this rust as possible Toyota will charge somewhere between $800 and $1,000.

At 55,000 miles (6 years old) my front gravel shield had completely rusted off and was found in my driveway. I took my car to my Toyota service center and they notified me that both control arms and both front struts were very badly rusted and needed to be replaced. I called Toyota corporate and after much debate, I was told there was no recall for this matter and therefore they would only reimburse me 50% of all costs to replace said parts. I found Toyota has recalls for rust issues on other models and would like this matter looked into. Due to the limited production of this vehicle type it is possible it is being overlooked. I am terrified at the thought that I could've been driving and my control arms could've rusted off like my gravel shield did. A six year old vehicle with only 55,000 should not have this type of rust or parts falling off.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Fj cruiser. While parked, the contact noticed excessive corrosion throughout the undercarriage of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was awaiting a response from the manufacturer. During cold weather, the contact also noticed that the rear view camera fogged and froze, making the visibility blurry and difficult to see. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 2,500...updated 04/26/12 updated 06/15/2012
