2 OF THE SEAT BELTS ON MY 1992 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER CAME COMPLETELY OUT IN A PASSENGER'S HAND. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STRICTLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S STANDARDS AND BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME - BUT THIS COULD HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. I THINK ALL LANDCRUISERS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE THEIR SEAT BELTS CHECKED AND THAT THIS CHECK SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEMS BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHO WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE SEATBELT CONSTRUCTION WAS SO FAULTY THAT IT ERODES OVER TIME?
TIRE BLEW OUT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. TREAD SEPARATED FROM SIDEWALL. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION SINCE I CANNOT DETERMINE IF THE INCIDENT WAS DUE TO TIRE FAILURE. I HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF THESE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE AND CANNOT BE CONFIDENT DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNTIL I CAN RULE OUT TIRE FAILURE AS THE CAUSE. *AK
THE FIRESTONE FIREHAWK R4S WL TU TIRE ON THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION AND BLOWOUT WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL AND COLLISION WITH MEDIAN, ALMOST RESULTING IN ROLLOVER. *MJS
ITS BLOWN 2 EFI RELAYS.BOTH TIMES IT HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER INITIAL START THEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND BLOWN THE EFI AFTER RESTARTING.I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ONLY ON ALL 91-92 LANDCRUISERS.
VEHICLE BROKE DOWN DUE TO RIVETS POPPING OUT OF ENGINE. HAD ENGINE REPLACED A YEAR AGO (1997). ORIGINAL OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH THE RIVETS. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. OIL WAS GUSHING FROM RIVET HOLE, AND WAS LOSING PRESSURE. *AK
O-RINGS AND LUG NUTS FAILED CAME OFF OF STUD DUE TO CHAFFING AND WEARING DOWN OF THE O-RING, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF VEHICLE.
VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT AS BEING DRIVEN CONTINUOUSLY.
MANUFACTURER INSERTED A PLUG IN THE ENGINE BLOCK ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, CAUSING OIL LEAK.
