NHTSA Complaint #10199668 — 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA

MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS IN FOR SERVICE THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS TRUCK SO I AGREED TO LET TOYOTA REPLACE MY BALL JOINTS (RECALL NO: 70B) AFTER THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE THE VEHICLE STEERING BEGAN TO FADE TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IT NEEDED A FEW ADJUSTMENTS AFTER DRIVING IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR A FEW MONTHS I FOUND THAT MY TIRES WERE WEARING DUE TO FEATHERING TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT ALSO THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO HOLD STRAIGHT IN LINE WHILE DRIVING WHEN I WOULD RUN OVER A SMALL DEPRESSION IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WOULD PULL ME IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DROVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER 08/06/2007 THEY DID A SERIES OF TEST BUT NOTHING WORKED. FINAL WORDS YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CONSUMER COMPLAINT LINE AND LOW AND BEHOLD A RECORDING CAME ON ADDRESSING SYMPTOMS WITH THE TUNDRA THE DEAL IS I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS THEY DESCRIBED IT ON THE RECORDING UNTIL AFTER THEY REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS. *JB
