Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK ON PUBLIC ROAD, I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND LOOKED LIKE THE SPARE TIRE WAS LOOSE. REMOVED THE SPARE TIRE AND PLACED IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND FURTHER INSPECTED THE REAR CROSS MEMBER. IT APPEARED TO BE CRACKED. CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TRUCK FRAME INSPECTED SPECIFICALLY THE REAR CROSS MEMBER. I HAVE ATTACHED THE WORK ORDER FROM HICKORY TOYOTA WHICH STATES DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING VEHICLE. HAVE ALSO ATTACHED A COUPLE OF PICTURES WHERE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR SHACKLE BRACKET ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE AND ALSO THE RACK PORTION OF THE RACK& PINION STEERING. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FOR THE REAR BRACKET AND CAN SUPPLY AN INVOICE FOR THE RACK IF NEEDED.
