Consumer Description

The back portion of the frame is completely rusted out, has a rot hole, and cracked. It is the same problem that has been happening to similar year model Tacomas, Sequoias, and Tundras. The FJ cruiser now needs to be included in this recall for rusty frame issues. I'm not even in a rust belt state. I'm in Florida. A rear end accident could cause the whole vehicle to collapse and make kill passengers in the back seats. Tons of other complaints filed here. There's a facebook group "FJ Cruiser Rusted Frame Owners Unite". Vehicle has been inspected by insurance for repairs, may just get totaled out as of this writing. No warning symbols or lights.
