Single Toyota 2010 FJ Cruiser Owner. Over the last 10/11 have been really diligent taking care of my truck, unfortunately due to what seems very poor quality steel or treatment of the frame and some parts when was build by Toyota, it has cause severe rust/rotten issue leading not only to significant safety concerns (broken gas tank straps and fuel lines) but also a significant amount of money spend treating the frame and part to prevent further corrosion that could\will eventually lead to complete failure.

While viewing the undercarriage of the vehicle I noticed excessive frame and structural rust and corrosion on a majority of the frame, suspension, fuel tank straps, and other metal parts of the vehicle.

Review mirror failing to automatically dim under any lighting, including sun, directly entering through the rear window of the vehicle. This has always been like this, it is just with these new high-intensity lights on the new, 2016-2019, that it has become more of a hazard at night. This occurs on all roadways.

FJ Cruiser 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3 miles
I purchased 2010 Toyota Fj cruiser 4X4 automatic. It has part time 4 wheel drive system including 4H and 4L. I set into 4H (high speed 4wheel drive) and tried to park at the open parking lot. I found out car goes slow and stop before fitting into the spot. When steering is not straight, car slowly stops without braking under no accel. After that I tried to make a circle with my car, it did not work. I have to push the gas pedal to make a circle. In 2wd, I don't need to make circle with gas pedal on "D" drive. On 4WD, to make a circle, I have to push gas pedal and tire gets squeaking and making noise. I tested my cousin's 4 runner which I knew that both cars have same mechanism. On 4runner, we don't have no problem. The car goes very smooth on 4WD even make a circle. I went to the dealer to find out. First, "L" dealer, the guy said that 4H has center differential locked. So under 4WD, all wheels are goes same speed. So I shouldn't put 4WD on the paved road. 4WD in only for the off-road. I asked him "how about rainy day"" he said most of cars are 2wd. I went to "N" dealer. He doesn't know anything. I just dropped the car at "C" dealer now for 5K service. We talked long time for 4WD system. He does not know. He says that it might be different from 4 runner and characteristic. Personally, I think 4WD system helps on rainy road and also helps on curvy roads on the mountain. So I put 4WD time to time. I don't think the car should be designed to have all differential locked on 4WD. How do I make a sharp turn with 4WD? I have to hear tire squeaking and feel like harm the car. I feel bad. If it is a characteristic about the car, I am ok with it unless it harms my car. But, it possibly something need to improve, can you find out" I was about to call Toyota customer service, but I am afraid that they might say again "it is characteristic. You drive 2wd only on the road." Thank you.
