Severely rusted & rotting frame. Diagnosed by Mike-€™s Automotive, Sturgeon Bay, Wi.
- Sturgeon Bay, WI, USA
The frame on my vehicle is incredibly rusty. Upon further research, I've found that this is a chronic problem FJ Cruisers. Many frames have rusted to the point where there is structural damage thereby rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. I know that Toyota issued a recall for Tacoma trucks for this very issue, and I would like to have a recall issued for the FJ as I'm incredibly concerned for my safety.

The frame and gas tank straps and rear bumper are rusting to an unsafe condition. Vehicle is 2013 with only 66000miles. I am spending countless dollars yearly to prevent the rust and it isn't getting any better. Other vehicles that share the same frame have had recalls on the frame and this vehicle should also be included

When driving in snow conditions the windshield wipers build up amazing amounts of ice. I spoke with dealership and they claim it does that because of the angle of the windshield. I was having to pull over and stop to break the ice off my wipers because they stopped clearing the windshield and I would loose visibility. Also, the underside of the Fj cruiser builds up and collects ice like nothing I have ever seen. I am a over the road truck driver and have driven in all types and levels of bad weather, I have never seen ice build up like it does on the Fj cruiser.. the first time I thought it might have just been a fluke but it repeated the ice build up yesterday when it snowed again.
