2000 Toyota Land Cruiser Problems

THE VEHICLE'S CHASSIS DETERIORATED AND IT IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH SOME LOAD. DESPITE DUE CARE IN KEEPING THE CHASSIS FREE OF ICE AND SALT DURING WINTER TIME, THE CHASSIS IS SHOWING A LOT OF RUST AND APPEARS WEAK TO BE DRIVEN AT IT'S NORMAL ROUTINE. I BELIEVE A VEHICLE'S CHASSIS COULD LAST FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY ACCIDENT OR COLLISION WHICH WE NEVER HAD WITH THE VEHICLE.

CAR WAS STATIONARY BUT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE EXCESSIVE RUST ON FRAME , HOLES IN FRAME AND RUSTED TO WHERE FRAME IS HOLLOW. TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER RUSTED BADLY AND READY TO BREAK OFF .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED TO SUDDENLY DECREASE. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE DECREASED 10-15 MPH IN SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON APPROXIMATELY FIVE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL SEIZED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAL BEARING, A SNAP RING, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AXLE BEARING RETAINER, THE BRAKE DRUM GASKET, THE SKID CONTROL ROTOR, AND THE REAR PARKING BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

RE: CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON 2000 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD. A FRIEND HAD A 2000 TUNDRA WITH THE SAME 4.7 LITER ENGINE, AND HIS HAS DEVELOPED THE SAME CONDITION. A INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALED OTHER REFERENCES TO THIS ISSUE. I WANTED TO LOG MY COMPLAINT SO IT COULD BE COUNTED. COULD NHTSA ASK TOYOTA FOR A INCIDENT REPORT ON THE FAILURE RATE OF THE 4.7 LITER ENGINE? THANK YOU *TR

MY SON HAD A WRECK, HE HYDROPLANED AND HIS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. HE GOT A CONCUSSION.

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON FREEWAY. WE WERE CLIPPED BY ANOTHER CAR ON OUR RIGHT FRONT BUMPER. OUR SUV SLID TO THE LEFT CROSSING 3 FREEWAY LANES AND WE HIT HEAD ON INTO THE CONCRETE FREEWAY DIVIDER. OUR SUV SLIDE DOWN THE FREEWAY ALONG THE DIVIDER AND MADE ONE COMPLETE ROLL, LANDING AGAIN ON OUT TIRES. THE FRONT DAMAGE TO THE CAR IS MASSIVE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK. IT STAYED LOOSE DURING THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE EMAIL PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED SUV AND ALSO OF THE CONSOLE SHOWING NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED.

TOTAL LOSS OF LIGHTING IN DASH SO THAT DRIVER CANNOT SEE SPEEDOMETER OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENTATION IN DASH AT NIGHT. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. THE SMOKE GOT DARKER AND THE CONTACT PULLED OVER. AN ORANGE GLOW WAS NOTICED BETWEEN THE CONTROLS AND A BOTTLE OF WATER WAS POURED IN THE DOOR TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE FIRE. THE WIRES WERE REPAIRED. THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 09/20/06. *JB

VEHICLE WAS BACKED OUT OD PARKING SPOT & WHEN SHIFTED TO FORWARD & GAS APPLIED VEHICLE ACCELERATION WAS NOT CONTROLLABLE, CAUSING A CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

THE FUEL GUAGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY FOR LAST MONTH. I AM NOT SURE THAT THE GUAGE ITSELF OR FUEL SENDING UNIT IS CAUSING THIS VERY RARE PROBLEM. THINK THERE IS THE SHORT-CIRCUIT SOMEWHERE. AND I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. WHAT IF THIS SHORT-CIRCUIT CAUSES SPARKS IN OR NEAR THE FUEL TANK. WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS RARE PROBLEM BEFORE I TAKE MY CAR TO DELARSHIP-SERVICE.*AK

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser. The car dealer and business received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 89V155000 (SEAT BELTS); however, the part to do the recall repair was no longer available. The local dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that the recall was no longer active, and that the recalled parts were no longer in production. The manufacturer had not provided any assistance to the contact. The contact had not experienced a failure.
