Steering Tie Rod Assembly Problems of Toyota Tundra

Loud knock turning the wheel to the left, rack and pinion leakage, inner outer tie rods can snap cause an injury or death. Headlights are very dim even the bright lights are dim. An oncoming car is not even phased when I have my bright lights on. It's difficult to see very well with those damn lights they're almost in amber color tried to use lens renew did not work.

January 28th (2014) I was into york's Toyota for diagnosis of a check engine light and rough idle problem. The clerk at york's Toyota advised me of (2) recalls on my pickup truck (ball joint & spray frame) and said "we will call you to schedule when to have these completed at no cost to you". February 6th while driving southbound on interstate 95 at the posted speed of 75mph in sherman maine the front driver's side of my 2005 Toyota Tundra buckled. After pulling to side of the highway I got out of the truck and saw the front driver's side ball joint appeared to have sheered off causing damage to tie rod end, other front steering components and some front quarter panel damage. I called the maine state police which completed an accident report. York's has refused to pay for the repairs to the vehicle. My insurance refuses to pay because the cause of the accident was a recalled part. Toyota corp in California has refused to pay for all the repairs to my vehicle stating the ball joint recall was for premature wear and since my truck has 150,000miles it doesn't qualify. This is completely unacceptable. A recall was issued and Toyota is refusing to fix the recalls and the damages.

I had a recall letter from Toyota regarding frame rust. It was to be done at no charge. When the dealer inspected the frame, they said the truck qualified for frame replacement at no charge. When the work was beginning, however, I received a phone call stating numerous parts had to be replaced because they were destroyed during the frame replacement process. I was told it was not negotiable and I would have to pay for them. These included all shocks, tie rods and ends for $350. Also, they suggested replacing the steering rack and radiator cap for an additional $650. I have contacted Toyota corporation to try to get the real story of what is covered and what may not be covered.

I was driving to my local mcdonald's drive through and I felt something unusual on my steering wheel. I got out and checked near front suspension and I found out that the tie rod on the right side is broken/disconnected. I was fortunate enough not to experience this broken tie rod on highway.

- while driving at 55 mphthe 2003/Toyota/tundra ran into the retainer wall because the tie rod on the passenger's side snapped, lifting the truck. On January 11 2006 the dealer fixed the recalled tire rod end and ball joint. The contact believed that they should have also replaced the entire rod itself, they did not. He had the truck for seventeen days when the tie rod snapped. This almost killed his entire family. His was told to call the hot line by the dealer. The current and failure mileage were both 41000.

I drove off the highway and it felt like the truck was steering itself. I had this steering problem since it was new- dealer said it was tire balance and later shocks- but " we won't throw parts at it"- a independent shop replaced the tie rod and the steering veering off stopped. The problem was noticeable when I was driving and going around curves- the truck was hard to control- shook and needed steering help.

While driving at 45 mph the tie rod broke, then the vehicle suddenly pulled to the left on flipped unto its side.
