| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Luckily i was going very slow into a parking spot....if this had happened going down i-95 traveling 70+ i wouldn't be here right now. take care, john c. groth hi chris, the latest recall reminded me of something. even though my toyota is a 1995...my drag link snapped in dec 02. the fwd message is one i replied to a friend of mine. and the toyota dealership is not yours....it was one in fayetteville, nc when i was living there while in the air force. take care, cliff date: fri, 20 may 2005 10:08:14 -0700 (pdt) from: "cliff groth" subject: re: drag link to: scott.stack@gmail.com hi scott!, yeah i had a drag link that just snapped! i was pulling into the shoppette parking lot on pope and soon as i turned left into a spot....bang it snapped. luckily i was going very slow...because once it snapped i lost steering and was not going where i wanted...headed straight toward a parked car. the steering wheel was free wheeling! i e-mailed toyota and sent pictures...they seemed the least bit concerned. so i went to the toyota dealership...and they accused me of hitting a pot hole...lol after that i gave up....and just tried to notify all my friends who might have a 1995 model. to at least get the drag link checked for cracks. red line auto shop just down manchester rd. off pope did my repair work. they said a "drag link" should never snap or break...parts attached to it might wear out, but a drag link is made to outlast the vehicle. well didn't mean to write a book...nice hearing from you. i thought of my drag link the second i heard about that toyota recall too. my toyota is a 1995. have attached some pictures...i think i sent them to you before, but if not here are a few.take care my friend,cliff scott wrote:cliff, didn't you have a problem with the drag link on your toyota? i was thinking about the recall and wondered if that was your year? scott. *jb *nm |
