Service brakes

16 reports
“Hitch-mounted bike rack triggers false PKSB (Parking Support Brake) auto-braking when reversing. All four tires skid, bikes experience tremendous torque on the rack, and cargo inside the vehicle shifts heavily. No actual obstacle present. Tow/haul mode does not reliably prevent it. This is a safety defect. Uncommanded braking can cause rear-end collisions. Owner is located in the United States. Multiple Land Cruiser forum owners report the same issue with hitch-mounted bike racks and false auto-braking.”

Power train

8 reports
“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.”

Electrical system

6 reports1 related recall
“We have experienced three issues which are safety related with our 2024 Toyota Landcruiser. I have taken these issues to our local Toyota dealer in [XXX]. They have not been able to correct these issues. I have reported these issues to Toyota customer care. They have not been able to resolve these issues. Issue 1. Occasionally, when I back the vehicle, the navigation display unit will go black for around 45 seconds thus blinding me from seeing what is behind me. This happened three times in a recent 30-day period. Issue 2. Three times since we bought this vehicle in XXX, the instrument cluster will go dark which causes me not to be able to see the speed or other instrumentation of the vehicle. Issue 3. About 50% of the time, the navigation display will not display driving directions from our cell phones. This causes us to have to pull over to the side of the road until we can get the navigation display to show driving directions. We have the latest software updates on our iPhones and we have our iPhones tethered to the display. The local [XXX] Toyota dealer and Toyota customer care say there are no recalls regards the navigation display or the instrument…”

Forward collision avoidance

3 reports
“The automatic emergency braking is activated when no objects are in front of the car potentially resulting in being rear ended. The feature is so oversensitive that it is safer to deactivate it. Car taken to a local dealership and the concern was replicated with a dealership technician. The dealership refused to evaluate the safety concern any further as the car is being inspected by a Toyota regional technician. Additionally, the brakes squeak when in reverse but the concern has not been addressed by multiple dealerships or Toyota headquarters.”

Suspension

2 reports
“The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle started leaning to the left and the right. The vehicle then overcorrected and abruptly swerved to the left and right again. The contact was concerned about the failure occurring while driving at higher speeds. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.”

Fuel/propulsion system

2 reports
“The fuel line clip of the Land Cruiser got disconnected and started leaking gasoline while the engine was running. I had the car towed to Hammer Toyota and they had us pay for the hose to be reconnected. I’ve searched online and seen people have similar incidents, where the clip of the fuel line gets easily disconnected when driving over puddles. This happened as a defect, as no one had spent any time working under the car aside from the toyota dealership. I believe a similar issue has happened with the 6th gen 4Runner and a remedy was issued.”
