20260123FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Driving on the highway, I slowed down from 65mph to 45-50mph due to standing water ahead of me, immediately after hitting water, the engine stumbled. Soon after the engine stopped running. In hybrid mode only, was not able to maintain speed. I noticed the smell of fuel in the cabin, I noticed my vehicle range dropping rapidly. The odor of unburnt gasoline was very strong and I had begun to get a headache and get dizzy, I had to open the windows while it was pouring heavy rain. Given the area had a lot of standing water, I wasn't able to stop safely. I was able to limp the vehicle in hybrid mode to a nearby uphill exit. Once stopped, I immediately left the interior of the vehicle for fresh air. If there was no shoulder and I wasn't literally next to a highway exit, I would be in deep sh**. After stopping, I checked the airbox to see if water made it into the intake. It was bone dry. Walking the right side of the vehicle I saw fuel on the ground. I called for a tow truck and they drop

My LC LC has 31k miles. This morning, I do what I always do when finishing an outing. Put the vehicle in park, turn it off, and get out. Today, the inside door handle would not let me out. It was like it was disconnected altogether. The door was unlocked. That being said, I unlocked and locked sever times. Still wouldn't let me out. I eventually put down the window, pulled once and twice on the outside door handle, wouldn't release, third time, released.

My Toyota Landcruiser First Edition was locked and parked directly in front of my residence, right in front of my bedroom window. Thief broke the rear window, climbed in, and took 25 minutes to start the car before driving off without the factory alarm ever sounding. I reasonably believed a premium vehicle with a factory alarm would detect glass breakage or intrusion, but it does not. This appears to be a design vulnerability affecting theft risk.

Was told the electric pump housed within the transmission failed and is not sold separately so I need a whole new transmission. No ETA on when that may actually happen. When I shifted from Park into Reverse, Neutral and Drive and then back into Park I get a horrible screeching sound and was told that the truck is not safe to drive.

Distance between the road and the underside of the wheel arches in the rear differs by 1.25 inches. Rear sagging to the left. Left rear spring weaker than right rear. Accentuated body lean when taking a right hand turn. Same load over each wheel causes more compression on the left spring versus the right spring. Toyota states the right to left is equal...this is not case.

20250730SERVICE BRAKES

At startup in garage in subfreezing condition. I put vehicle in reverse and brakes did not engage at normal pedal pressure. I had to push the brakes with extreme force to slow down the backwards movement. I did not think I would be able to stop the car. I had driven the vehicle the night before in wintery conditions and parked in my detached unheated garage. I feel like there may have been ice build up on the brake pads/rotors. Has not happened again but I have not had the exact same conditions. Will note the engine was revving at a little higher rpm because it was very cold out and was at start-up (normal behavior) but created a bit more force in reverse. There would have been a collision if something were behind me, it took that long to stop.

20250428STRUCTURE:BODY

I recently purchased a new 2024 Land Cruiser. After only 2 thousand miles, the majority of the trim on the passenger side melted and had to be replaced. I contacted my dealer that I purchased the car from as well as Toyota corporate. They have taken no action and have called it "solar convergence". In fact, the first Toyota dealer told me to "keep it out the sun". Can you believe the explanation and lack of responsibility! This is definitely a defect in the trim material and needs to be recalled. I have since paid and replaced most of the trim because I couldn't stand to look at it. Please review my complaint and help me get this corrected. I would be happy to send the defected trim pieces and my invoices to repair this mess. Thank you
