My 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser has developed an exceptionally loud front brake squeal, documented by Toyota on June 3, 2026. Although Toyota has issued a Technical Service Bulletin addressing this condition, no repair has been completed. The noise has progressively worsened, raising concerns about the condition and functionality of the front braking system. Additionally, several exterior components have begun melting and deforming, including the exterior mirrors, rear spoiler, and rear hatch components. This damage was documented on September 30, 2026. Several affected areas contain or surround electrical components, cameras, and sensors designed to support vehicle visibility and safety. I am…

My vehicle started when I left work and about 1/4 mile down the road every dash light came on and said Check Engine Reduced Engine power, Secondary collision Brake System malfunction, Hybrid system malfuncion, System malfunction, Drive start control malfunction. Then when I got out there was gasoline pouring from the bottom of my car running down the parking lot. It was a very dangerous situation. I was very afraid because someone in the parking lot was smoking. I called the Toyota towing service and they came and towed it to Doc's Toyota. That's where I purchased the car.

The windshield is very steep by design and is also seemingly extremely delicate. Within 6 months I had multiple spider cracks simply from driving around town and on the highway at 55-65 mph. A few weeks ago a rock hit the windshield and spidered almost immediately. The angle and the thin glass make it dangerous. It also cost just shy of $2900 to replace at my local Toyota dealership, which I did today. There are multiple complaints online in Toyota and Reddit and other forums.

The driver's side exterior mirror on my 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser vibrates excessively while driving, particularly at highway speeds. The vibration causes the mirror image to become blurred, making it difficult to accurately monitor adjacent lances and surrounding traffic. It reduces rearward visibility and creates a potential safety hazard during lane changes. I reported the issue to Toyota multiple times. After repeated visits the mirror was replaced under a one-time goodwill repair. However, the replacement mirror exhibits the same excessive vibration and the problem remains unsolved. Multiple dealerships have states that this is a common characteristic and has declined further repairs.…

Active Technical Service Bulletin that was not disclosed by Toyota or my dealer. The brakes make a piercing metal on metal noise when placed in reverse. I've been told this is not a safety issue, there will be no longer term impacts, and it is safe to drive. The issue however is that Toyota is limiting distribution of available repair parts, so I am on a 5-6 month wait list with my dealer. Bulletin is: T-SB-0046-25 Rev2
