2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER — Complaint #1139244

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CENTER SUPPORT BEARING filed December 15, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1139244 (ODI reference 10664363) concerns a 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER and was filed on December 15, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 18, 2014. The vehicle had 125,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:driveline:center support bearing, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA FJ CRUISER cohort independently describe similar power train:driveline:center support bearing failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
