Carrier/rack problems of the 2008 Toyota Tacoma

First noticed the steering "tightness" shortly after the undercoating recall. Very sporadic in this particular case so I thought it may be a particular stretch of road I repeatedly commute on. Not the case. Looks like another watergate. First a recall for a cord running through the steering column, the a rusted frame recall. Fess up Toyota, you manufactured another sub par vehicle, great engineering. Hopefully someone will listen to the consumer before this problem causes any tragedies. This truck is now 8 years old with 70000 miles and in great shape except for maunfacturing defects not sure if this case is the steering colums seperation from the dashboard (steering column recall???) or the exposed steering shaft rusting and binding up (rustproofing recall???) or the power steering rack and pinion being rotted out I will call my Toyota dealer and see what the repair is and the cost of the repair following that I will forward this to the attorney general, better business bureau, and my local goverment officials.

This Toyota Tacoma slid downgrade on black ice and there was no airbag deployment despite an end-for-end, backwards, downhill flip initiated at 40 mph, that caused the full weight of the vehicle to impact on the front bumper, dislocating all front bumper attachments from the front crossmember of the vehicle's frame. This vehicle is at a salvage yard awaiting action by the insurance carrier, per thomas fitzsimmons, claim representative, at (304) 348-6209.
