Steering Wheel Vibrate problems of the 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Toyota Fj Cruiser. While driving approximately 40 mph, the steering wheel began to vibrate. The failure occurred sporadic. In addition, the vehicle would pull into the right direction independently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times for the same defect. A four wheel alignment was performed on the vehicle. The failure persisted and became progressively worse. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 10. Js.

My truck's steering wheel shakes violently between 55 and 65 mph when outfitted with off road lt category tires. The shake is oftentimes violent and energetic, and can make the vehicle difficult to control. The truck is a dedicated off road capable SUV and should easily tolerate such tires. There is a very active online community of Fj Cruiser owners, and this issue has been discussed there ad infinitum without solution, and here is a link to one of the better threads where it has been discussed . . .

Steering wheel shimmy between 50-60mph. Have taken to dealer which have balanced the wheels and tires but I am still experiencing the same problem. Vehicle feel very unsafe with the steering wheel shaking at highways speeds. Other fj owners have been experiencing the same problem.

As Toyota and many, many Fj Cruiser owners are well-aware, there is a steering vibration issue that occurs somewhere in the 55-65 mph range that causes the steering wheel to shake back and forth pretty violently. As one of the previous complaints stated, there is a very active community of Fj Cruiser owners on internet forums that also have this problem. . . But I don't think they're aware of this complaint process or have the time to do it, or something. I'm using after-market wheels and tires that were professionally installed by very competent people, so I'm very confident it's not an issue with my wheels or tires. I would like to echo other complaints and say that the vehicle needs to be recalled and fixed.

Steering wheel begins shakes at speeds of 50 to 60 mph. Have balanced, road balanced tires and still the steering wheel shakes, at this speed I am concerned there is something with the suspension/tires that may cause a crash in the future.
