Toyota should replace the frame - I have two more years payments and can't afford this - and I could not return it as the lemon law did not apply.

FJ Cruiser 4.0L

  • Manual transmission

Update: Recent testimonials/photos have concluded Catastrophic Suspension Failures with loss of control are occurring. See the Flickr repository pictures"https://www.flickr.com/photos/186600547@N07/albums" for proof. Join FJ Cruiser Rusted Frame Owners Unite on facebook "https://www.facebook.com/groups/632711680558455/" for discussions.

Excessive frame corrosion "Rot" starting in jointed metals within the frame structures is rusting from the outside and the inside out. In recent observations, non-jointed rust metal is also suffering rust through in other parts of these frames.

My personal vehicle exhibits all the signs of excessive rusting including one rust through hole at the rear cross member location underneath the rear bumper. This location is neither accessible nor visible without the bumper removed. The opposite side of the cross member exhibits large severe flaking rust present both outside and inside the frame. The main frame, located behind the front wheel, exhibits severe flaking rust inside the frame. The outside within this area also contains a half size dollar rust area through the first frame layer that initially appeared as surface rust.

In conclusion what appeared as normal surface rust can indeed be structural integrity concerns. The frame is rusting inside out at an alarming fast rate, much faster than the 60"S FJ40 frames I have restoration experience with.

I was informed per my dealership the rust would be documented but not considered abnormal and no recall was in place.

Crash bar you can poke a screwdriver through, hole (about 2" x 4") in the frame behind drivers tire, skid pates rusted off, suspension points rusted close to breaking, and many points of entire frame badly rusted.
