I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra with 39,000 miles on it. I was going 15-20 mph and aproaching a on ramp to the highway when my front drivers side ball joint snapped. I had my 4 month old son in the car with me. Luckily I was able to stop without getting into a accident but wonder what would have happened if we were on the highway. Toyota said I must have hit something in order for it to fail and refused to contact the NHTSA and refused to cover the expense of having it fixed. $1900.

The front end shimmied and the outside of the frnt tire began to wear. The dealer did wheel balance and alignment bu the shimmying continued when driving slow. Had the vehicle to the dealer at least 3 times but the deale r could not find anything wrong with it. The ball joint recall did not include the consumer's vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer the first time on Aug ust 13, 2004.

While driving 25 mph without hitting anything, the front passenger tire collapsed under the vehicle without warning. The consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The dealership replaced the ball joints but blamed the driver hitting something to cause them to break. Pe04040_cat.
