I need help. I have a new Land Cruiser 04, diesel 3lt turbo. My wife, an experienced driver was driving in the hiway at 130km/hr in heavy rain. All of a sudden the car hit rain puddle and started swerving left and right with increasing amplitude. It was not possible to control it. Finaly the car turned 180 degrees and continued backwards hitting the crash bars on the side of the hiway. The damage is more than $10,000. I cannot explain such behaviour from this car. Does anyone know of similar incidents it could help.

Experienced or not , it sounds as though she did her best , but initiated an early oversteer she never could recover from ..


As far as later model Land Cruiser questions , may I suggest you repost this on the 100 series forum , or the International forum .

Not many folks look here ..


Thanx , and good luck with the insurance and fixing of the vehicle ..


:cheers:
