Vehicle exhibits steering shimmy between 40-60 MPH. Dealer has replaced 4 sets of lt tires and 1 set or rims. After each new set of tires and a fresh road force balance the tires and a few hundred miles of driven the shimmy would come back. The vehicle's door place card for the tires says 33psi and 35psi in two different stickers. The tires would self destruct within a few thousand miles and the dealer was unable to balance them again. This is a result of underin-flation for "e" rated tires. Toyota has since changed the psi to 46 vs 35 via a recall. In many cases the ecu needs to be replaced in order for this recall to be performed. Toyota motor sales is refusing to perform this recall going back to 2008 on vehicles not running the oe tire. Even if it is "e" rated. This created a serious safety hazard. Running under-inflated tires will heat up and risk a blow out. Running the federal safety agency psi of 46 will cause the current toms to fail and defeats the whole mandated TPMS system.
2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My truck speed was 60-65 MPH and my steering wheel began wobbling. I took it to dealer and they said nothing was wrong. Last week I serviced my truck and rotated and balanced the tires. Still same steering wheel wobbling. In high speed my steering wheel feels very loose. I don't know if there is a power steering problem or just simple tire balance. Other problem is my brakes. When I was driving down the road, I lightly pressed the brake to stop and driver side wheel hit a pot hole deep around 2 inches, then my truck didn't stop where I waned it to stop. It happens only at certain times. If I hit a pot hole or bump pressing brake.
2010 fj cruiser steering wheel shake/vibration. Only occurs when driving the vehicle between 55 MPH and 65 MPH. Driving the vehicle on identical road conditions below 55 MPH or above 65 MPH does not cause the steering wheel to shake/vibrate. Steering wheel shake/vibration occurs during the above mentioned speeds, regardless of road conditions. Dealer claims this is normal and refuses to address safety issue. Steering wheel shake/vibration occurs even with different tire/wheel combinations.
