Suspension Problems of Toyota Land Cruiser

Distance between the road and the underside of the wheel arches in the rear differs by 1. 25 inches. Rear sagging to the left. Left rear spring weaker than right rear. Accentuated body lean when taking a right hand turn. Same load over each wheel causes more compression on the left spring versus the right spring. Toyota states the right to left is equal. . . This is not case.

I purchased this vehicle from rocky's auto mass in worcester massachusettes. I was told it was inspectable. I had it shipped to vermont and my local inspection station explained that the frame is completely missing in certain areas and the vehicle can not be inspected or driven.

The vehicle's chassis deteriorated and it is now unsafe to drive the vehicle especially with some load. Despite due care in keeping the chassis free of ice and salt during winter time, the chassis is showing a lot of rust and appears weak to be driven at it's normal routine. I believe a vehicle's chassis could last for more than 20 years in the absence of any accident or collision which we never had with the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser. While driving various speeds, the traction control warning indicator illuminated, which caused the brakes to engage and the vehicle's speed to suddenly decrease. When the failure occurred, the vehicle decreased 10-15 mph in speed. The failure occurred on approximately five occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for repairs, but the failure persisted. On the most recent occasion, the rear passenger side wheel seized due to the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seal bearing, a snap ring, the rear passenger side axle bearing retainer, the brake drum gasket, the skid control rotor, and the rear parking brake needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 141,000.

My husband and I own a 2007 Toyota landcruiser. It has 46,000 miles on it. We have taken it in for service on several occasions as the front end of the car will drop down, the vsc and traction control light come on, and the car is uncontrollable to drive. This has happened 5 times, all at completely random times. The first time it happened was at 4,900 miles. One time it happened and we driving 75 mph down hwy 5. Thank goodness we were driving on a straight road or no telling what could of happened. Another time the suspension collapsed and a front axle broke. The axle was repaired, but the source of the problem was not found. This last time it happened was on 2-22-10. I drove it immediately over to chuck patterson Toyota in chico, CA. They put it on their computer to test it and we were told they had no code to fix it. They told us to call Toyota and they would do the same to try and remedy the problem. After more then a week of getting the run around they told us we needed to pick up our car as they can not fix the it!!! on top of this recurring problem we are on our 3rd set of tires, two of which have been rated 50,000 mile. We have applied for arbitration. We are completely dissatisfied with chuck patterson Toyota and Toyota. We feel Toyota is ignoring our case. We cannot believe we were asked to come get our vehicle and it would be dealt with then (the 6th time) . We feel the vehicle is unsafe for our family to drive. In addition, because of the service records and the faulty suspension being recorded numerous times, we cannot sell or trade the vehicle with a good conscience knowing that the suspension could collapse at any given time!!.
