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.

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. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 141,000.

Complete and total braking failure. Zero brake pressure, complete loss of stopping force. ABS failed, all warning lights illuminated. This caused the vehicle to proceed uncontrolled down the road for a couple of kilometers due to driving down hill till it was slowed enough by resistance to pull off the road and call a tow truck. Again, it was a complete and total brake failure, diagnosed by toyota as a failed ABS pumping and accumulator system.

I have recently purchased (nov 2014) a 1 owner land cruiser. This week I had a brake line replaced and it was brought to my attention of the excessive amount of corrosion to the frame. we were all a bit surprised because the vehicle was kept in great condition otherwise and I did an extensive vin check to make sure it was well maintained and serviced , which it was at the same dealership it was purchased at in central ny. the frame was coated with a underbody coating- apparently after the fact of original purchase, which left me in the dark about the situation underneath. I know there IS numerous issues with frames from toyota in this time frame and my vehicle seems to be falling under this excessive frame rot issue. *tr

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). perhaps this could shed some light on your discussions regarding the problem with the failure so many people are having with their various toyotas. acceleration issues emerged with my 2000 model toyota-- [xxx] in 2000, I bought a new toyota land cruiser.at around 45,000 miles (still under manufacturer?s warranty) or around the end of the year 2003, I began to experience issues with my land cruiser not accelerating?even though the engine was still running, and I was still driving. after turning the engine off and waiting for about 20 minutes, I turned my engine back on and my cruiser was working again. I began to experience this problem consistently, but sporadically over the next 4 years. I never knew when my car would stop accelerating while I was driving. no matter how hard I pressed on the accelerator, the car would not advance forward, even though the engine continued to run. I immediately took my cruiser to the closest toyota dealership. I described my problem to the service advisor, mr. Brian murphy, and my vehicle was assigned to the master mechanic rohan to evaluate. rohan kept my vehicle for about two weeks before being able to duplicate the problem and agreed it was a very dangerous problem. rohan explained to me that when I press my foot on the gas pedal, a sensor controls the acceleration function, and that my sensor was bad, and he had to replace it. the sensor issue was never resolved, and over the course of the next several years, I continued to have this problem with the car losing acceleration? During driving. Rohan continued to try to address the issue? But nothing he did ever resolved the problem. in may 2007, my son [xxx] drove the land cruiser a short distance to school . the land cruiser lost acceleration while [xxx] was driving and he couldn't control the car and hit an oak tree and totaled the vehicle. Had he been able to accelerate, he could have controlled the car. *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.

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.

- 11007445The condition known as acid rain is caused by airborne chemicals or particles in the atmosphere, which mix with rainwater, nighttime dew, or high humidity to form acidic compounds. If these contaminants settle and remain on a painted vehicle surface, especially the horizonal areas of the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage can occur. This damage is the result of actual etching of the paint and appears as pitting or water spots. As acid rain droplets on the vehicle surface evaporate, the concentration strength of the acid increases, causing deeper and more rapid damage. This evaporation and corrosive action also occur more rapidly on dark colored cars as direct sun heat increases. It is the dealers responsibility to protect and maintain the quality of the vehicles paint finish after receipt at the dealership prior to the first sale. In areas known for high frequency and/or concentration of acid rain (see Figure 1), frequent vehicle washing during high heat or humidity periods will minimize the potential for paint damage caused by acid rain. It is further recommended that either reverse osmosis or deionized water be used to prevent water spotting.
- 11007444To prevent brake rotor rust from forming during transportation and storage, wheel film will be used instead of a cardboard type of anti-rust cover. The purpose of the wheel film is to shield the disc brake rotor from weather elements and initial rust before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. Consequently, the film should remain on the wheel for as long as possible.
- 11007443Acid rain results from rainwater or other airborne moisture that become acidic due to industrial chemical impurities in the atmosphere. If these acidic compounds settle on an exposed vehicle, especially the horizontal areas such as the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage to the painted surfaces can occur. Acid rain damage can typically be identified on vehicles by the presence of stains on the paint surface that resemble hard water spots. Unlike water spots however, acid rain damage cannot be removed by regular washing procedures. Also, because acid rain can etch and soften the paint, normal buffing or polishing repair procedures should not be attempted. This can cause further damage and result in visible depressions in the paint surface. The following are the three major categories of acid rain damage: Minor damage: requires only buffing to repair. Moderate damage: usually requires neutralizing, color sanding, and buffing. Severe damage: extending beyond 1/2 mil of clearcoat on a pearl, metallic, or solid color, requires neutralization, sanding, and repainting. In cases where acid rain damage is minor, neutralization and buffing with a liquid-type paint finessing product may provide an adequate repair. Only specially formulated products outlined in this bulletin should be used for that purpose. Unfortunately, other than minor damage, there is no simple method of determining the actual extent (depth) of acid penetration other than color sanding a representative affected area until there is no visible etching or depressions, followed by measuring the amount of paint removed with either a magnetic or digital-type film thickness gauge. The procedures in this bulletin are intended for use by qualified body/paint technicians and should not be attempted by inexperienced personnel. It is the dealers responsibility to protect and maintain the quality of the vehicles paint finish after receipt at the dealership prior to the first sale. Perform frequent vehicle washing, as often as daily, during high heat and humidity periods to minimize the potential for paint damage due to acid rain exposure. This is especially important in geographical areas known for high frequency and concentration of acid rain and industrial fallout.

- 11005153Toyota vehicles are currently protected with RapgardTM protective film designed to protect the horizontal painted surfaces. This material protects from acid rain, environmental fallout, and rail contamination.
- 11005149Vehicles may occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc. This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small, red or brown particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color paints but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such as the hood, roof, or deck lid.

This evaporation and corrosive action also occur more rapidly on dark colored cars as direct sun heat increases. While Toyota paint quality, durability, and resistance to environmental factors is continuously being improved, it remains the responsibility of the dealer to protect and maintain the vehicles paint finish from the time of arrival at the dealership until retail delivery to the customer. In areas known for high frequency and/or concentration of acid rain (see Figure 1), frequent vehicle washing during high heat or humidity periods will minimize the potential for paint damage caused by acid rain.
