Cheap! The foot rest to the left of the brake pedal just broke loose after standing down on it to sit up. After looking at it is a very cheap part and poorly designed.
I ordered an OEM replacement part and installed it with very little trouble... it was equally cheap and so now I just know not to apply any force to it... Not the level of quality Toyota was know for in the past... disappointing.
The driver footrest (dead pedal) on the FJ Cruiser breaks away from its mounts easily and becomes a loose object under and around the gas and brake pedals while driving. Shortly after purchasing the car, this foot rest broke loose and became lodged under the brake pedal. When I attempted to stop, I could not depress the brake pedal and ran up over a parking lot bumper. Accident could have been much much worse. My Toyota dealer re-attached the foot rest, but it broke off again soon afterwords. VERY DANGEROUS!
