2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle poor driving visibility and other multiple defects. The consumer stated he had difficulty seeing oncoming traffic at intersections. It appeared the decision to go with a half door on the vehicle with a short frame was the root cause of the poor visibility. Also, the inability to exit the vehicle from the back seat on the passenger side, was impossible without the front passenger opening the front passenger door first. The consumer also stated space left between the end of the roof and the beginning of the rear door drained so poorly that leaves and other natural debris would build up to the point that, when it rained, water would leak into the cargo area. Also, despite the claimed gas mileage reported on the window sticker (20 mpg) the consumer never achieved more than 17. 1 mpg, even though the bulk of his driving was done on the highway.
