Right front wheel suddenly locks for several seconds putting a drag on that wheel, slowing that wheel down. Happens on sharp turns only so far, mostly going down hill, all at reasonable, safe speeds for the curve. Driver is not using the breaks at the times this has happened, and releases the gas and holds tight to the steering wheel. No dash lights appear. It is increasing in frequency and starting to scare us on our deep cliff curve roads. This has been happening just once in awhile �5 years, but is now happening 2-5 times each time we drive the 15 mile river canyon with tight curves and steep cliffs. We only know wheels ans brake system are involved, and the stability of the vehicle.
Tread crack/split or dryrot on outer and innermost tread surface of all four tires. Bought vehical used when it had 44,627 miles when noticing this problem.
Changing a flat tire, the spare which has never been used was low on air, drove for less than 5 miles and parked later it was flat too. Dealer has done several multi point inspections, spare tires not on list. Dealer stole the hubcap during the mounting / installation.
Need updated overlay label on the tire and loading information label according to fmvss 110 s4. 3. Nhtsa recall number 14v475. Manufacturer recall number: e0x. No accident or abnormality occured.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph there was a loud noise from underneath the vehicle. The contact looked in his rear view mirror and saw the spare tire rolling down the street. He immediately pulled over and retrieved the tire. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis. After inspecting the vehicle they advised him that they were unsure as why the tire separated from the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired by the re installation of the spare tire underneath the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileages were approximately 9,700. Tb.
Steering wheel shakes at highway speed, Toyota escondido has been able to duplicate's problem. Wheels have been rotated and balanced and problem still persist, vehicle is now at 9100 miles and I plan having dealer look at issue again , but I'm concerned this could lead to a more serious issue that could affect the safety of the vehicle. I have researched forums and found numerous complaints regarding this issue that seems to plague the Tacoma line.
