NHTSA Complaint #706676 — 1996 TOYOTA TACOMA

MY TRUCK EXPERIENCES SEVERE TRANSMISION NOISE WHEN I APPLY BRAKES, CAME TO A STOP AND THEN PROCEED.A NOTICEABLE CLUNKING NOISE TOOK PLACE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN.ALSO MY FRONT TIRES WORE EXCESSIVELY ON THE HEELS, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE FRONT END WAS MISALIGNED. OFCOURSE I PAID FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT BUT IT DIDNT HELP THE VEHICLE FROM SHAKING AT SPEEDS OF 55+MPH.ALSO , THE FRONT SUSPENSION SHIMMIES, SHAKES, AND RATTLES OVER MINOR ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. I FEEL LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS TELLING ME THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAN SOMEONE OFFER HELP OR ADVICE?
