blaksheep, assuming that you're not an actual FJ owner and likely not experiencing this problem that we're attempting to deal with seriously and constructively, you might want to hold off on the panic rumors in these particular threads.



A major X2, Dale!!
I'm not an FJ owner yet because of all the issues the FJ's are having, I along with many actual owners must be pretty disappointed with Toyota right about now. I am not spreading rumors , I was excited when my daughter started working for Central avenue Toyota in Westchester New York because I was hoping to get hooked up. after a couple of weeks on the job she warned me about all the issues especially the early returns on leased trucks and told me to hold off or get something else.

Thats because the GM forum is having a field day and someone (probably one of them) posted this on a web blog. 103k views just means people like to talk smack and laugh at others misfortune. It doesn't mean 103k FJ owners are looking at this and selling their FJ's I bet 95% of the views are from non-owners. and the views aren't unique, so when homedad clicks on this thread 100 times a day each time counts j/k homedad



It's probably a good thing that I'm not a mod anymore...I'd delete the thread and point people to the OTHER threads we have on this forum about this but hey, have a field day
Ya, good thing!!!

I'll be bumping this thread for awhile to make sure some particular individuals will be able to locate it in the near future.

Re: Engine Bay Body Rips

CruiserLarry,
great job by your friend. Toyata has plenty of techs cruising our forum as I was told by one Trail Team member in Ouray. Toyota knows what's going on. At this point they are just sticking their heads in the sand and blame us for using the car in an improper manner.
Let's put all these issues on You Tube and all of a sudden you'll have a hundred thousand and more hits and that will wake up Toyota. It's a numbers game and these problems should be on any major blogs. Once it affects sales then there will be action. Also there are plenty of of product liability laywers out there who will take note.
We need to be agressive in order to get any response from the big guys

Despite Toyota not saying anything official on this. From what I have seen they have been repairing those that have had this issue.

..I have yet to see them refuse service on this (unlike the rear diff.)

I still think patience is a virtue on something like this. As several respected members within this thread have already said, it takes time for a remedy to come about. Considering that this is still a relatively new discovery, it's very possible that Toyota may have just recently become aware of this (perhaps thanks to what has been brought to light in this thread and those FJ owners who have taken the time to get their truck into their dealership for inspection/documentation).

At this point (and until otherwise proved wrong), the only true ally we have on fixing this problem is Toyota. Putting them in a bad light with the public or making an issue of it on YouTube to hurt their sales, isn't the current logical thing to do while we're still in the middle of trying to solicit their assistance.

Plus, bringing a product liability attorney into the game would take all the power completely out of our hands, and put it right into the deep pockets of that monetary-driven lawyer. In return, we'd be lucky if we end up with a miniscule settlement 3-5 years down the road, and not much more.

So, let's wait a little bit longer to see exactly what Toyota is planning on doing (or not doing) before we jump the gun with "aggressive" measures.
