Consumer Description

OUR 2015 TOYOTA TACOMA PRERUNNER'S STEERING LOCKED UP JUST AS THOUGH THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF, AT 45 MPH, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO VEER LEFT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC, CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLUSION WITH A SEMI TRUCK. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE TRUCK AFTER ACCIDENT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, AND THAT IGNITION KEY TURNED AND STEERING WORKED NORMALLY, BUT THERE WAS NO DRIVERS WHEEL,RIM, LINKAGE, OR FENDER. TOYOTA'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO LOOK INTO THIS ANYMORE. THIS WAS A GOOD 2 LANE ROAD IN GOOD WEATHER AT 1 PM IN THE AFTERNOON. MY 28 YEAR OLD STEP SON WAS DRIVING AND HAS HEAD, NECK AND BACK INJURIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THIS AT THIS POINT 12/01/2016. *TR
