I have driving for 49 years and never heard of a fuel tank strap breaking. In my opinion Toyota dropped the ball in this regard - has to be a crappy product. In my case I started off to work and applied the breaks hears a clank? No idea what it was. I looked and saw nothing in the dark. Continued on drive. It only knocked when breaking hard.
At work a friend looked at it with me and after a short test drive saw that the tank shifted forward and rear toward the center of vehicle. The plastic tank guard was rubbing against the drive shaft and the balancing weight caulking the knock. This is absolute BS that Toyota has NOT recalled this inferior product.
Purchased new straps and will install after I treat to protect them rusting.
So what has to happen? A fuel tank fallout on a highway and kill the driver and passengers of the FJ or the car(S) behind the FJ should it fall completely out and they hit it and it explodes or bursts into flames?
This is absolutely unacceptable.
