MY 2000 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER HAS EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE UNDERCARRIAGE RUST SIMILAR TO THE TUNDRA MODELS REPORTED. RECENTLY THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE FAILED DUE TO BRAKE LINES RUSTING THROUGH. WHEN WE TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE SINCE IT HAD RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AND WAS INOPERABLE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT DRIVING FAST AS WE WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS TWICE MY NEW TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID HAS FAILED WITH A 13 DAY PERIOD. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS 25 NOVEMBER WHILE TRAVELING ON IH-95 NEAR SAVANNAH, GA. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS 4 DECEMBER 2006 WHILE RETURNING FROM SAVANNAH, GA. PICKING UP THE CAR. IN BOTH INSTANCES THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE CAR WENT DEAD. NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, ETC. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON KILLED WITH NO WARNING AND NO WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA DEALER IN SAVANNAH THOUGHT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE SELLING DEALER IN DAYTONA BEACH, FL FOR REPAIRS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL NEVER BE SAFE UNTIL TOYOTA ISSUES A RECALL AND DETERMINES WHY THE CAR KEEPS BLOWING FUSE HIGH VOLTAGE< PART NO 90982-11049. THE CAR IS A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 MODEL. YOUR SITE DOES NOT HAVE IT ON THE MODEL MENU SO I USED LAND CRUSIER TO COMPLETE THE FORM. *NM
