The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver's assist feature became inoperable, causing the vehicle to unintendedly steer into the left lane. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle detected an upcoming off-ramp and suddenly determined that the driver did not wish to take the off-ramp and self-corrected at the last moment, automatically steering the vehicle to the left across two lanes in highway traffic. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate or diagnose a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the front windshield had developed several cracks and had to be replaced. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 9,000.

While driving on a windy day, the trim piece behind each rear view mirror blew off.

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 dropped me off at home. When I looked underneath the car and found the fuel line hanging free. The clip holding the tank and chassis fuel lines together was missing. I went to the local Toyota dealership and the technicians said it was not a warranty issue because it's impact damage and that I should talk to my insurance about fixing the car because it was going to be $3500 dollars to drop the prop shaft, transfer case, transmission, and other parts to replace the line because "toyota does not sell the clip alone". The line was $168 dollars. I probed further and they brought the price down to $118. Online, the fuel line is $56 dollars. I checked the Land Cruiser forums and multiple people have experienced this issue under identical conditions, others have found the clip loose during regular maintenance. This appears to be a dangerous design flaw. My 2012 Tacoma and 2016 Land Cruiser do not have these issues since they use common steel spring clips to hold fuel lines in place.

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.
