Failure Date: 10/01/2015

Moderate to severe vibration started from 5-40 mph then vibration is still there at > 40mph but not as bad. Does not matter is hot or cold, city or highway I had tires balanced and rotated but vehicle still vibrates. TSB's from Toyota point to drive train vibrations in Tacoma models. Now, at times, the drive train squeals like a bad u-joint or hanger bearing. Dealer said they are aware but no recall. This needs a recall. Vehicle has around 147000 miles.

3 Vehicle Shudder problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2014

At first about 6 months ago , car started vibrating at low speed and disappear at higher speed. On 3/13/14 traveling a about 30mph , there was a sudden vibration (car shaking violently ) then a loud bang underneath the driver side. Glided the car along side the road, did a visual inspection under the car and notice the front propeller shaft was hanging there. My truck has been expose to carrying heavy load. The heaviest load that this truck carried was an upright freezer that I bought from k-mart. Is my truck included in that 2007 for drivetrain problem??? if so where can I get info on this? my problem is very similar to the 2007 recall on bad casting.
