| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am a toyota fanatic but i am concern about the failure of the ball joint of my 2004 toyota tundra. on 9/6/2006 while driving on a local roadway at approximately 25 mph the ball joint of my 2004 toyota tundra collapse causing my vehicle's front end to drag on the roadway. i took my vehicle for service three weeks prior for an oil change. on leaving the dealership i felt a difference in the front end, on checking my tire pressure i found it to be at 35 psi. thinking this was the problem i reduced it to 32 psi. continuing my drive for an additional hour or so i realized that the reduction in pressure while it made a difference the problem still existed. i returned to my dealership after my weekend trip and informed them of the difference in the feel and sound of my tundra. they inspected it and told me that there is nothing the technician did to the vehicle that could have caused the difference in the feel and sound of my vehicle. i am currently in contact with toyota america and the dealership hoping to bring about an amicable resolution to this problem, they indicated that my 2004 tundra was not part of the ball joint recall campaign. |
