Owner-Reported Issues (4 of 4)
Wheels →1 issue
After service at the dealership, you noticed noise coming from your rear wheel that got progressively worse. Upon inspection, all four tires had loose lug nuts that could be moved by hand, which is a serious safety hazard that could cause a wheel to separate while driving. The dealership's service appears to have failed to properly secure the lug nuts during your recent service visit. The fix will require the dealer to properly torque and secure all lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.

Unknown Or Other,lane Departure,back Over Prevention →1 issue
Your vehicle's navigation screen is dark, which means safety features like the blind spot monitor and back-over prevention system aren't working. These features were advertised as part of your vehicle, but without a functioning display, you can't use them. The issue appears to be electrical and related to the Entune system, and Toyota hasn't provided guidance on how to fix it.

Seats →1 issue
Your Land Cruiser has TV screens built into the front seat headrests that are positioned in a way that family members have suffered facial and head injuries from them. If passengers in the back seat were in an accident, their faces could hit these monitors. Removing the screens would require replacing the entire front seat according to Toyota.

Electrical System,seats →1 issue
Your vehicle has attracted rodents twice within 9 months, resulting in nests in the cabin air filter and engine compartment that caused significant damage to interior foam, rubber, and wiring. You've incurred repair costs exceeding $1,000 plus deductible and rental fees, while other vehicles parked in the same location have not been targeted. Toyota has indicated they use soy-based materials for environmental reasons but cannot prevent this issue and offered no solutions to deter rodents from being attracted to your vehicle. Addressing this may require rodent deterrent measures, protective barriers, or alternative vehicle storage solutions.
