| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There was no event leading up to failure. this was totally unsuspected. the failure i experience in my 2004 toyota tundra occurred as i was turning from a small street to a major street. as i was making this turn, the driver's side wheeled separated from the ball joint causing me to lose control of the vehicle. as i lost control of the vehicle the tire became lodged in the wheel well causing my driver's side door to become jammed. i was not able to exit the vehicle using this door. as of now, the truck is still in the parking lot at the dealer being held up by a wood block. i was told by the repair department that the parts will not be in for a few weeks. toyota corp has not yet confirmed or denied responsibility, although i was given a case number for my claim. i was able to obtain a loaner vehicle from the dealership at no cost to me (yet), but it was like pulling teeth!!! *nm |
