Tire Problems of Toyota FJ Cruiser

Tires were purchased April 2026. Vehicle was then driven in June 2026 for off-road use, minimal usage prior to June due to mechanical issues). A structural failure occurred on 3 new truck tires (size: 275/60r20, dot: 0225) within 24 hours while driving under 10 mph on a basic off-road trail. Day 1: rear driver tire suddenly deflated with a loud thwapping sound. The tire separated from the bead and suffered a 3-4" sidewall tear. Vehicle was at 15 psi (standard trail pressure). 10 companion trucks ran identical terrain without issue, isolating the failure to this tire batch. Swapped to spare. Day 2: remaining tires aired up to 20 psi to mitigate risk. Despite higher pressure and slow speeds, the exact same failure mode recurred on the replacement tire in the same rear driver location, causing another 3-4" sidewall tear. Trail patches failed. Borrowed a spare from another vehicle. 15 minutes later, a 3rd identical failure occurred on the rear passenger tire, causing a blowout and tearing on the inside sidewall. Vehicle was stranded, requiring a 2nd borrowed spare to exit. Tires had only 300 miles of total use. Failed components include the tire sidewalls and internal casing structures. All 3 failed tires are preserved and available for material inspection. Rapid, consecutive loss of multiple tires severely compromised vehicle stability, leaving me repeatedly stranded. Had these structural failures occurred at highway speeds rather than 10 mph, a catastrophic loss of control or rollover could have occurred. The selling dealer has explicitly refused to file a warranty claim or inspect the failed casings. No prior warning lamps, pressure alerts, or symptoms occurred before the sudden, catastrophic failures.

Vehicle shimmy between 55 and 65 mph after being at dealer for routine tire rotation. Tires were replaced, rebalanced & alignment done multiple times and vehicle brought to 4 diff locations for inspection and problem still exists. Has been to Toyota dealer multiple times with no resolution. Not safe to drive and will most likely cause other parts in front end/vehicle to fail. Contacted Toyota and nothing was done to fix problem.

2007 Toyota cruiser trd - tie rod broke. I was backing out of my driveway and turning the steering wheel was difficult. I got out and looked at the vehicle. One tire was pointed one way and one the other. There weren't any events leading up to the failure. Shortly before the tie rod broke, steering felt as if I was on ice for a few short moments. Fortunately, I wasn't driving the vehicle when the tie rod broke. Vehicle was undriveable and towed to a Toyota dealership in edmonds, wa. The tie rod was replaced by Toyota. Dealership had no information as to how it could have happened. No reason was given. Car was 2 weeks out of warranty and dealership wasn't going to cover this safety issue. After applying some pressure, they did handle the problem.

My 2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser has uneven wear on the edge of the tires at 40,000 miles. The original complaint that brought me to the dealership was a vibration in the steering wheel at 65mph. I was informed that there is a recall (campaign id # 06v235000) but my vehicle does not have the assigned for the recall. It certainly sounds like my vehicle is experiencing similar issues. I noticed the vibration approximately 3-4 months ago.

My Fj Cruiser had bridgestone dueler tires on it when bought. The tires were losing air pressure and causing my car to stop unevenly. I brought the car to Toyota two time and they said it was a suspension problem, but they never offered to fix the suspension. The dueler tires wore unevenly and I was forced to change the tires myself at only 14k miles on the brand new car. I asked for reimbursement since there was a tire recall that I only found out about myself on the internet. I was never told about the tire recall when I brought my car to the dealer on two occasions. They, Toyota, has claimed that my production number and date on my car don't fit into the recall, but don't address that the production of my car doesn't solve the problem that defective tires were put on my car.

I purchased an Fj Cruiser Toyota in may 2006, I drove approximately 3000 miles,and noticed the tires were getting low and then I would add air and again they would lose air. I went to wheelworks and replaced the tires. I think this vehicle should be in the recall.
