I own two 2007 Toyota Fj Cruisers, and both of the windshileds have cracked. I've looked up on several forums, blogs, etc. . . , in regards to this problem and it seem that many other Toyota Fj Cruiser owners are experiencing the same problem. I believe the design and the quality of the windshileds they isntalled on these vehicles are sub standard and hender the safety of these vehicles in an accidental rollover. Toyota fails to acknowlede this problem and blames road debri for this problem. I would like for an investigaton to be open so the can determine the integrity of the windshield, and hopelfully a recall will be ordered to replace these defective windshields.
My Toyota Fj Cruiser accelerates by itself. Typically, when it is is stopped and idling, like at a light or stop sign. It does this when either I or my mother is driving it. The particular event I want to tell you about happened in August 2009. I was at a stoplight, in the center lane, and was going to change lanes when the light changed. I turned the wheel to the left before the light changed. When I took my foot off the brake, the vehicle accelerated rapidly into the left lane. I did not touch the gas pedal. My vehicle was struck by a pickup truck approaching in the left lane. The young girl driving the pickup truck was talking on her cell phone and did not expect my vehicle to move in front of her so fast. Damage to my vehicle was about $1,800. I took my vehicle into a local shop for 30k service and shortly thereafter and they did not find any problems. I have seen that Toyota claims there is no problem, but this is a serious safety problem. I really never know when my vehicle is going to surge. I have sent a letter to Toyota requesting them to fix my vehicle and pay for the accident. I have not heard from them yet, but it has only been a few days.
I own a 2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser sport utility vehicle. I've owned the vehicle for 24 months and currently have 16,000 miles driven. The safety problem is the design of the Fj Cruiser windshield. I have now replaced the windshield six (6) times due to small rocks hitting the windshield. The safety issue is that the vertical position of this windshield absorbs the full impact of any road debris as opposed to deflecting. Of the six windshield incidents, 2 of those have been severe enough to completely penetrate the windshield and in to the passenger cabin. This poses a very serious safety issue if a rock should pierce the windshield on the drivers side and injure or distract the driver thus posing a safety risk to others in the vehicle or in close proximity. In addition, the impact is severe enough that the noise of the impact poses a dangerously high distraction. The impact is violent enough that I would equate the sound to exploding fireworks or a handgun sound in the cabin of the vehicle.
The paint on my new vehicle is chipping off.
Numerous paint flaking; even on non leading surfaces windshield pitting and sparkling in sunlight.
