TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2007.TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . in the past few weeks i have encountered a situation which i feel is quite dangerous. the following has happened on four occasions while on highways and interstates. what occurs is that i will be driving on a highway at about 65-70 miles/hr when suddenly the transmission shifts into a much lower gear. i am not sure which gear it is, but it is into a very low gear. two things happen. the car suddenly slows down rapidly without the brake lights coming on which causes the car behind me to come close to rear-ending me. but a worse situation is that the sudden drop into a low gear causes the car to suddenly dodge to the right - i assume because of the enormous torque generated by this shift that occurs without the engine slowing down first. this has occurred twice on interstates and twice on two lane highways, always at high speeds between 65 and 70 mph. when this happened last week on a two lane highway, the car dodged to the right. to keep from going down an embankment i steered hard to the left and over steered a little, almost hitting a motorcycle in the oncoming lane. on two of the occasions, about a half-hour before the car did this, i was driving with the cruise control on at about 65 mph and the cruise control went off by itself for no reason. i took the car to a aaa designated transmission shop yesterday. they took it for a test drive and ran a scan but found nothing. they thought it would be in the cruise control or electronics or sensors.*jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118100 miles.

Toyota Land Cruiser 2001 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10351106

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 14, 2010.TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . on 8/14/10 at approximately 6 pm, i was traveling with my family southbound on interstate 5-freeway in north los angeles county (city of valencia) when an audible dash alarm and several dash panel lights lit up on my dash panel. shortly after this occurred, i lost all power assist in my braking system and was forced to use both extreme foot pressure on the brake pedal and the hand brake to bring my car to a stop. i would classify this as a catastrophic failure of the braking system. the car was towed to a toyota dealership, where the problem was diagnosed as a failure of the abs actuator system. cost to repair exceeded $2700. toyota customer care was notified - an attempt to obtain good-will repair based on the circumstances of the problem was denied by toyota. toyota has not offered any response to me regarding the system failure and the extreme danger that my family and myself were exposed to. based on internet research, this same problem has been reported by other toyota landcruiser owners, and toyota has been notified in each case and chosen to do nothing to investigate the reported failure. this type of catastrophic failure of a braking system has the potential to cause fatal accidents and should be investigated by toyota and the nhtsa. the lack of any type of fail-safe system that would provide braking back-up represents a serious design flaw in this model landcruiser. toyota needs to develop a fix for this problem and a recall notice should be sent out to owners for all landcruiser models for which this design flaw exists. *tr.Mileage was 127493 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTEHT05J212. Toyota Land Cruiser 2001 problem was reported in YORBA LINDA, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 29, 2013.TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . on may 29,2013 at approximately 1 pm, i was stopped at a traffic light waiting for approaching traffic to clear so that i could make a left turn. suddenly, i heard a buzzer alarm and numerous dash board lights lit up, including abs, vsc, brake, etc.completing the turn, i realized that the brakes were virtually non functional and required extreme force to slow down the vehicle. i drove to my nearby home at a very slow speed and parked the vehicle in my garage. upon returning from a trip i had the towing company flatbed the vehicle to the dealer. their diagnostics concluded that the hydraulic brake booster had failed and needed replacement. total cost is $3100 including a slight discount since i have been a customer for over 16 years. the service manager could not recall a similar repair during his 18 years with the toyota agency. i consider myself fortunate that the failure occurred when i was stopped. had it happened at freeway speeds or driving down the long and steep roads in my community i could have had a serious and perhaps a fatal accident. i have a phd in mechanical engineering with over 32 years of industrial experience. the brake system on this vehicle has a latent design flaw without a fail safe backup. toyota should be held accountable, redesign the faulty components, notify owners of the problem and recall all affected vehicles. i spoke with a representative to have toyota pick up the repair cost. of course, they did nothing, quoting the expiration of the warranty, etc,etc.i believe the only recourse is for the nhtsa take action against toyota. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 88178 miles.
