Consumer Description

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A TOYOTA T100 4X4. THE PITMAN ARM BROKE WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY RENDERING THE TRUCK UNSTEERABLE. HAD THIS BROKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A (PROBABLY FATAL) ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. SINCE THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY TO REPAIR IT. HOWEVER THE PART IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM THE DAY THE TRUCK WAS BUILT. IT JUST TOOK TEN YEARS FOR THE PART TO FINALLY FAIL.
