Consumer Description
MY 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER DEVELOPED TWO, UNDER THE HOOD, WHEEL WELL/INNER FENDER CRACKS, AT THE CRUMPLE DIMPLES. THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE BODY CRACKS AT 18,000 MILES. EACH CRACK, ONE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT, DIRECTLY ABOVE EACH UPPER WHEEL WELL, WHERE ATTACHED TO THE INNER FENDER, ARE ABOUT 4" LONG AND 1/16"-1/8" WIDE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA WHERE, WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE, SENT THE TRUCK TO A BODY SHOP AND REPLACED BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT INNER FENDER ASSEMBLY. THIS WAS A VERY MAJOR REPAIR, COSTING TOYOTA ABOUT $8K IN MATERIALS AND LABOR. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL REAPPEAR, AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 36,000 MILES. I DO NOT SPORT OFF-ROAD THIS TRUCK. *TR
