1 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2020

I purchased this vehicle from another man. The truck would steer off when it would hit a small bump or hole in the road. I took it to goodyear to see if it was something to do with the alignment and found out the whole front end suspension and everything attached to it needed to be changed. This happens when the truck is motion and have had to change and rotate the tires more than once within this year. There is wear on the front tires on the outside. I will have to change them again when we fix the alignment. This also happens on any street and is pretty scary when driving on the highway. The tires sound like I'm peeling out or the tire is flat as I'm driving down the road. I can't make sharp turns because the tires start skipping. I have not made any repairs to it because I can't afford to pay the bill at this time. Only thing I've fixed is the tires. The lights on the dash show that the tires are low on air. The cost quoted to me would be close to $2000. I also heard from many people that the year I have with the Tundra have had the same complaints as I have. It's a 2006 Toyota Tundra and is my first truck purchase for myself. . My first vehicle was a 1983 Toyota camry and I loved it!! I've never had any kind of issue with a Toyota in the past and would like to continue to think anything but positive things! Toyota's are definitely built to last and would love to pass it down to my son but unfortunately we have to postpone considering it's not safe for him to be driving. This is his last year in high school so hopefully we can get it back to him before the year is up.
