2025 Toyota Land Cruiser problems

“We have a land crusier. The iforce edition. We have several trailers that we tow around. This time I hook up a single axile trailer on the hitch back. Plugged it in properly and turned the towing botton on inside the cab of the car. When i went to back up it acted like something was behind me and the brakes locked up hard. Jolting the vehicle into sudden stop and lock up. Then i put it in park and it did it again and again. It took me 15min to back up out of the drive way. Also, the force of the braking was so strong that the hitch dug into my concrete drive way and cracked the bottom half of the drive way. This is so frustrating and dangerous. It has already caused damage to my own property. This should not be happening.”

“Intermittent delayed upshifts with slipping sensation, most noticeable between 1st and 2nd gear under light throttle. Occurs approximately 3–4 times per week. Condition has been present since approximately 5,000 miles. Dealer has documented two repair visits and written 'drives normal' on both repair orders despite the condition persisting. Toyota North America was contacted and promised dealer follow-up that never occurred.”

“Several of us on the Toyota forum are noting that the portion of the sunroof positioned toward the rear seat does not form a proper seal and is letting water into the vehicle. This in turn puts electronics at risk or being compromised and unsafe driving conditions.”

“We have a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser which is roughy two months old with just over 2000 miles on it. The plastic on our side views mirrors are literally melting as is the plastic on the side of the doors. The dealership refers to this as a “common” Toyota compliant called solar convergence which is NOT covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. While the immediate damage is not causing a loss of visibility as the distortion continues it certainly will at some point. We have yet to receive a cost repair: Toyota should be forced to recall all Land Cruiser which use plastics known to be prone to solar convergence and replace all plastic at no charge. This is simply appalling that they are allowed to use these cost cutting materials in something as important as a side view mirror.”

“On this vehicle, whenever 4 Low is selected, or in 4 High (normal driving mode) any off-road driving mode is chosen, a warning appears on the digital instrument cluster stating "VSC Turned OFF Pre-Collision Brake System Unavailable". While this warning is up, no other instrument cluster functions can be accessed. Hitting the button to dismiss this warning will only make it go away for five seconds, then it will repeat and once again draw the driver's attention off the road and to the instrument cluster. It serves as a constant distraction and impediment in the most difficult driving conditions. The only way to make it not reappear every 5 seconds is to stop, go into the safety items menus, and disable pre-collision braking which then unnecessarily reduces the safety of the vehicle once it is back in a normal driving mode. This waring which repeats every five seconds must be a software bug, other similar warnings do not return once dismissed.”

“Front passenger tire, of a 2025 base model Toyota Land Cruiser, blew out on the interstate going 80 mph with only 9,123 miles on the vehicle. Fortunately the driver was able to navigate to the shoulder and bring the vehicle to a stop without causing further damage to the vehicle or surrounding traffic. Dimensions listed on the tire are 265/60R20 112H. Toyota dealership indicates this is not under warranty. Remaining 3 tires and full sized spare are the same model Yokohama Geolander tires.”
