THIS IS A TOYOTA ECM COMPUTER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. I WAS WAITING IN MY 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER AT A TRAFFIC STOP FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE FROM RED TO GREEN. AT THIS TIME, I FELT A HARD "BUMP" AS IF ANOTHER CAR HAD REAR-ENDED MY FJ. THERE WAS THIS REAL HARD "THUMP." THE FJ HAD SHIFTED GEARS ON ITS OWN WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. EITHER THE TRANSFER CASE DIFFERENTIAL AND/OR THE ELECTRICAL REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED UP. BOTH MY HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AT THE TIME. THERE IS NO DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT…

ANOTHER FENDER BULGE ISSUE. THE BULGE STARTED AT 30K MILES. I'M AT 90K MILES NOW AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BULGE HAS NOW BECOME A TEAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS ALSO BECOME A TEAR. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON ON THE FJ CRUISERS BUILT IN 2007. THIS ISSUE WAS ATTENDED TO ON THE NEWER MODELS. THE CRUMPLE ZONES IS WHERE THESE TEARS APPEAR AND I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE FIRST THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST UNTIL TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THIS AS AN EPIC FAILURE ON THEIR PART. I CA…

FRAME AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE VERY RUSTY TO THE POINT OF A SAFETY CONCERN. I REPLACED THE REAR BUMPER WITH AN AFTERMARKET ONE TO DISCOVER THE REAR BUMPER SUPPORT WAS SO RUSTED IT WOULDN'T BE OF ANY HELP IN THE EVENT OF BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. ALSO, THE REAR BUMPER COMES STOCK WITH 2 SENSORS SO WHEN BACKING UP WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET CLOSE TO SOMETHING. BOTH SENSORS WERE NON-TRANSFERABLE TO THE NEW BUMPER BECAUSE THEY WERE SO RUSTED ON THE INSIDE WHEN YOU TRIED TO REMOVE THEM THEY CRUMBLED INTO BITS, A COMBINATION OF METAL…
