1 Steering problem of the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser

Failure Date: 08/10/2025

Lane keeping assistance and lane departure warning include components that allow the vehicle to steer itself. They may be subject to cyber-attack and/or otherwise malfunction. It is my experience that one or the other is causing my vehicle to veer into other lanes of traffic as well as oncoming traffic on the other side of the road. I own the vehicle outright and it is available for inspection upon request. I have expressed my concern numerous times to Toyota. As an aside, on a second Toyota I owned, the hydrogen mirai, I had similar concerns. And the dealer said it was the alignment and showed me a report stating that it was out of alignment and that they fixed the alignment. It did not resolve the problem, and I sold them the vehicle back at substantial loss to myself. I feel that I take my life in my own hands every time I get behind the wheel of the Land Cruiser, and I do not believe I can justify that risk anymore. No not with this vehicle. Allegedly yes the vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer. It has certainly been to the dealership five to seven times since I bought it in March of 2025. There were no warnings of the failure.

Failure Date: 08/18/2012

Steel brake line running from the front to the rear of the vehicle along the driver's side frame rail rusted through near the front of the vehicle. Lost all braking, narrowly avoided a collision by swerving around a stopped vehicle and driving through an intersection where the traffic light turned red. This is the second steel hydraulic line that has rusted though on this vehicle. The first was the power steering cooler line.
