As I approached a red light in my 2010 Fj Cruiser the brakes seemed to have a mind of their own in that when I depressed the brake the vehicle would lunge forward and stop repeatedly I narrowly avoided rear ending the vehicle in front of me. I have read about this being a problem for other fj owners on an internet forum and it appears to be a problem with the abs.
I purchased 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser 4x4 automatic. It has part time 4 wheel drive system including 4h and 4l. I set into 4h (high speed 4wheel drive) and tried to park at the open parking lot. I found out car goes slow and stop before fitting into the spot. When steering is not straight, car slowly stops without braking under no accel. After that I tried to make a circle with my car, it did not work. I have to push the gas pedal to make a circle. In 2wd, I don't need to make circle with gas pedal on "d" drive. On 4wd, to make a circle, I have to push gas pedal and tire gets squeaking and making noise. I tested my cousin's 4 runner which I knew that both cars have same mechanism. On 4runner, we don't have no problem. The car goes very smooth on 4wd even make a circle. I went to the dealer to find out. First, "l" dealer, the guy said that 4h has center differential locked. So under 4wd, all wheels are goes same speed. So I shouldn't put 4wd on the paved road. 4wd in only for the off-road. I asked him "how about rainy day?" he said most of cars are 2wd. I went to "n" dealer. He doesn't know anything. I just dropped the car at "c" dealer now for 5k service. We talked long time for 4wd system. He does not know. He says that it might be different from 4 runner and characteristic. Personally, I think 4wd system helps on rainy road and also helps on curvy roads on the mountain. So I put 4wd time to time. I don't think the car should be designed to have all differential locked on 4wd. How do I make a sharp turn with 4wd? I have to hear tire squeaking and feel like harm the car. I feel bad. If it is a characteristic about the car, I am ok with it unless it harms my car. But, it possibly something need to improve, can you find out? I was about to call Toyota customer service, but I am afraid that they might say again "it is characteristic. You drive 2wd only on the road. " thank you.
