Brake Disc Problems of Toyota Tacoma

During a 23000 mile servicing, camelback Toyota informed me I would need to have the brakes serviced, because 95% of the pads have worn down. I am aware of a recall on these trucks lower ball joint, but the service agent did not tell me that at the time I brought it in. I was never informed by the dealer of this recall. Now, I am being charged for repairs, while the vehicle is still under warranty, for brake system failure (excessive/premature pad wear), and I believe this damage is because of the recall suspension issue.

I was travelling north on hwy 3 at 55mph when I saw a lady, mrs keevy, turning left across traffic. I was wearing a seat belt. I locked up my brakes, but the road had been sanded for ice the night before. I broadsided her at a speed of at least 35 mph. My vehicle was a totaled. Her vehicle was also totaled. She was air lifted to a hospital. None of the emergency workers could understand why my air bags did not deploy. Both auto body places, and a master mechanic said they should have deployed. A 1999 Toyota sat next to mine in the repair facility with severe front end damage and his did not deploy. I have pictures of my vehicle, mrs. Keevy's vehicle, and the other Toyota. I have also ordered a police report. I notified Toyota on their hotline, they sent an investigator who said I did not meet the criteria. I sent them two certified letters, one with pictures of all vehicles. They finally contacted last week, requesting a police report and hospital records.

Brake pads failed. 2 shoes on rear put on backwards. Short needed in back & long in front according to dealer. Front disc pads replaced due to rear brakes. Also, had to replace rotors.

The inner tie-rod end on the passenger side was very loose. This allowed the wheel to move freely about 1. 5 inches at the perimeter in each direction. The part was replaced in August (I think) and yesterday I noticed the problem again, not as bad, only 0. 5 inches of travel. The front disk brakes caused a severe shudder that hampered my control over the vehicle at a moderate deceleration. The rotors have been replaced twice, and now it only vibrates mildly, although I am sure that the problem will return if its already vibrating. While walking around the dealership I noticed a box full of Tacoma rotors, a problem maybe?.
