NHTSA Complaint #10415229 — 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP

OWNER OF 2 1994 TOYOTA PICKUPS, WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN ONE OF THEM AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS ALMOST READY TO FALL IN....DECIDED TO SEE WHAT I NEEDED TO DO TO REPAIR IT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARM HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED INTO, I REALIZED I WAS LUCKY I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT GETTING HURT. I DECIDED TO LOOK AND SEE IF I COULD USE THE ONE FROM MY OTHER TRUCK THAT I NO LONGER DROVE, CONSIDERING AFTER DAYS OF SEARCHING, THAT BUYING A NEW ONE WAS NOT AN OPTION. LOW AND BEHOLD IT WAS JUST AS BAD. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I HADN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN A BAD ACCIDENT ON MY TWO HOUR ONE-WAY DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. USED UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE THE ONLY THING I CAN FIND, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO EVEN USE A USED ONE. *TR
