36 Steering problem of the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Failure Date: 04/10/2010

I currently own a 2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser and have experienced problems with the abs braking system. As of yet it has not caused an accident in my vehicle, but sooner or later someone will be killed if this problem is not corrected. When coming to a stop and applying the brakes if you should happen to hit a rut in the road you seem to loose your abs and the vehicle begins to act very erratic until you come to a complete stop, almost to the point of losing control of the steering. This has happened to my vehicle at least a dozen or more times in the 2 1/2 years I've owned it.

#8 - steering problem of the 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser the vehicle is a 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser. This vehicle can not maintain safe highway speeds of 55 to 60 mph due to severe wheel shimmy. I have had these wheels force balance about a dozen times, still having the same issue. Why won't Toyota look into this problem. I have tried new tires and still the same problem, so I put back the original tires and replace the rims, still the same problem. . This is costing consumers a lot of money and time. Now I am replacing the rotors to see if that helps. I have done research on Toyota forums and the 2010 and new Toyota Fj Cruisers are having a problem, and Toyota will not do anything on this safety issue. My concern I losing control at highway speeds.

38 Steering problem of the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Failure Date: 03/03/2010

I have a 2007 Toyota fj. The steering seems terribly weak and unpredictable. It drives like a vehicle that has tens of thousands of miles on it, but the steering has been like this since I purchased it. I've had the wheels aligned three times, but the problem continues. Toyota says the there is no issue but that the steering on this style vehicle is just sensitive. While I really enjoy the vehicle, I'm always on full alert when driving knowing that at any given time, the steering may suddenly take the vehicle left or right with no predictability. I've driven a large number of suvs and pickup trucks. I have never experienced a newer vehicle that requires so much attention to the steering. It may go left or right when the roadway surface changes, when encountering uneven roadway surfaces, when transitioning from wet to dry or ice to clear pavement, or for seemingly no reason at all. Often I find myself actually counter steering (inputting opposite tension on the wheel) to keep the vehicle from going leaving the lane I'm traveling in. It is very unpredictable while changing lanes. As I begin a slow move to an adjacent lane, the steering may suddenly just pull me over to which I then have to counter steer to keep from going too far.

39 Steering problem of the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Failure Date: 02/01/2010

While driving in a straight line at about 35 mph I experience sudden application of the right front brake and the skid indicator light came on. The application of the brake caused me the swerve to the right. Had I been at highway speed I suspect that the fj would have rolled.

40 Steering problem of the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Failure Date: 01/10/2010

After accelerating from low speeds the steering sometimes has a large amount of movement left & right from very small steering inputs. Resulting in a "death wobble" sort of a feeling. This happened before and after a lift kit and tires were installed.
