Structure problem #1

Windshield was replaced by cascade auto glass in April 2005 due to crack. Car resides in garage all summer as we live in mt during summer months. Last week car was outside in rain for 2 days in greensboro, nc and head lights came on and would not go off. It was determined by mechanic at rice Toyota in greensboro that there was a leak from windshield into the fuse box. Cascade auto glass is telling us that there are reported problems published with the 2003/04 model Land Cruisers, and they suspect the same applies to my 2005 model. Fuse box must be replaced. We are waiting for a rep from cascade to speak with the mechanic at rice Toyota and to view car tomorrow, Thursday oct. 13th.

Frame Rust problem #2

Excessive frame rust. I have a steering stabilizer bar frame mount that has rusted completely off and therefore the steering stabilizer is not performing properly. Happened during driving. This is the same year (time frame) as the numerous other Toyota frame lawsuit issues.
