I bought the first 07 that my dealership got in back in March of 2006 and had no issues with mine. I had it for 3.5 years and 37k miles. I haven't followed the FJ scene since November of 2009 though. I work at a Toyota dealer and have not heard of this either.

You want a new car = get legal representation.

Ha! Likewise, 07' FJC with 125k miles. Zero issues. Looking to get a FRS to compliment it.

Nice...the one and only problem we've had was one of the belt tensioner pulleys shit the bed on a trip to western NY. Lucked out and found a Toyota dealership in the middle of f'ing nowhere, pulled into the lot with the ball bearings literally falling out of the bearing assembly, and then lucked out and they had the part in stock. That was my bad as it was making noise prior to, but I put off fixing it.

Chances are this motor failed due to a reassembly problem when they first took the engine apart. Which is why SOA pulled the TSB offline in the first place, #1: because the issue is not mechanical, and #2: because the chance of a timing issue after the engine is dissassembled.

Engine was completely replaced and my car has been running great over the past few days. Subaru and I came to an agreement that I'm happy with and that's all I'm going say about that
