2007 FJ Cruiser Frame Failures

[ruebarb]

I know there are a bunch of FJ owners here.

The 2007 FJ Frames are failing from Rust. This is a widespread issue. Toyota is pretending this isn't an issue. Help us keep the pressure on them.

toyota has been replacing frames on their trucks for rust for upwards of 20 years.

Toyota has launched a limited service campaign for some 2005-2008 Toyota Tacomas currently registered in salt-belt-states due to rusting frames. Toyota has received multiple reports of Tacoma frames exhibiting "more-than-normal" corrosion. WATCH: 2014 Toyota Avalon Video Road Test On affected...

I have an '07 in MN, no rust (beyond normal). This is the first I'm hearing about it.

That's because Wyoming is so poor we can't afford salt to put on roads during the eight months of winter.

I am not sure where you get the poor part but for sure we don’t use trash salt.

Shhhhh... We don’t want that shit getting out. We’re a big wasteland mud hole with no jobs and no money.

Seriously though, half the roads in city limits here aren’t even paved. Saves from having to put sand and gravel down on them. Other communities could learn a thing or two about winter needs.

Last year my motor mount snapped on my 06 Tacoma.... Luckily my fab guy welded on a DMZ kit to reconnect it.
They have serious problems with admitting problems with certain models and just fixing them in the newer generations quietly.
