Consumer Description
2008 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER, INNER FENDER APRON BULGES IN CRUMPLE ZONE'S. THIS VEHICLE IS USED AS A DAILY DRIVER AND HAS BEEN OFF ROAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 OF THE 19744 MILES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON IT. MY VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND NOT ABUSED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FJ CRUISER MODEL, SO MUCH AS TOYOTA HAS REDESIGNED THIS PART OF THE BODY STRUCTURE 3 TIMES. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS DEFECT WILL ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF MY SELF AND CHILDREN SHOULD I BE INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. PLEAS DO YOUR DO DILIGENCE AND INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA GENERALLY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WILL BLAME IT ON ABUSE OR MISUSE. *TR
