Consumer Description

YES I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 55MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE. THIS CAUSED MY SHUT TO SNAP IN HALF ALSO CAUSED THE CONTROL ARM TO BREAK. WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO BAD HAD THE TRUCK NOT BEEN SO RUSTY. NOW FACING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM BEING COVERED IN RUST. AND THE LEAF SPRINGS ARE ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING OFF THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THE PERSON I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM SAID HE HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTICE OF THE RUST RECALL. SEEMS KINDA FUNNY TO ME ONLY 25% OF THE OWNERS OF TOYOTAS WERE NOTIFIED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RUST ISSUE. THANK GOD IM STILL ALIVE. HE IS THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME. I WILL DIG OUT ALL OF MY RECEIPTS AND ULAD THEM VERY SOON.
