| Suspension problems |
My power steering gear blew its seal on the passenger side losing all power steering fluid and almost making me crash into a car next to me, and Toyota refuses to cover it stating that I hadn't had the steering gear replaced prior to whenever their dates were this is clearly faulty equipment and faulty machine work on the steering gear itself. Why won't Toyota cover it? I tried contacting one Toyota and downtown Toyota here in oakland California and they told me that they wanted $250 to inspect my vehicle and that I would definitely have to pay for it because my vehicle was not under recall it states it is a recall if you look it up. It is worded recall if they're not going to cover it sounds like they're trying to back out of covering it until someone gets seriously hurt or killed like I almost did, I will never buy another Toyota again as long as I live because clearly they don't care about the faulty equipment on their vehicles that's going to hurt or kill someone. All they care about is the mighty dollar and that's just wrong. Safety has gone rite the window and if anyone reading this is thinking about buying a Toyota, I would seriously think twice.
The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph there were steering faulty and popping sounds. There were no warning lights. The vehicle was towed to the contact residence. The vehicle has not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number 21v103000 (suspension, steering). The approximate failure mileage was 156,485.
Have noticed rust holes on frame-frame rust is flaking-falling off--rust on brake system and wheel rims.
The rear leaf spring breaking in half for both sides without any extra weight on except the passengers as recommended by the manufacturer. Regular driving conditions, both highway and street.
The 2012 Tundra pickup has an uncontrolled and violent rear end bounce. I have taken it to mountain states Toyota (dealership purchased from) and they refuse to admit there is a problem with the truck as well as refused to ride along to experience the problem. I have seen numerous other complaints of the same problem on different web sites that describe exactly what my truck is experiencing. I believe this is a safety issue and due to the violent shaking I refuse to allow children to ride in the vehicle due to safety and health issues. I am concerned for my safety as well as others due to this issue. I have been to every avenue possible to resolve this problem. This vehicle is my only means of transportation. This vehicle is under warranty. This is a design issue with the Toyota Tundra.
