⚠️Elevated Concerns

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser reflects a commendable reliability score, though the early peak failure range raises some concerns. Owners should be vigilant regarding the back over prevention system and associated noise issues described in TSBs.

Key Factor:Back over prevention issues

πŸ“‹Why This Matters

Defects in essential safety systems such as the rearview camera and inaccurate labeling could have serious implications for drivers and passengers. The back over prevention system is critical for ensuring visibility when reversing, which becomes even more vital in a vehicle of this size. Furthermore, equipment-related recalls imply potential risks that could undermine the brand's otherwise strong reputation for reliability and safety. In a competitive segment where reliability is often synonymous with market success, Toyota's ability to rectify these issues will heavily influence the Land Cruiser's standing among luxury SUVs. A legacy built on engineering excellence faces challenges from these recalls that could shadow its esteemed heritage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

SUSPENSION,SERVICE BRAKES

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.

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.

STRUCTURE

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
