| 1992 | STEERING:LINKAGES:LINK:DRAG:CONNECTION | I HAVE A 1992 TOYOTA TRUCK [XXX] WITH 265000 MILES. ON OCT.27 WHILE DRIVING MY CENTER LINK BROKE AT THE PITMAN THIS CAUSED ME TO NOT HAVE ANY STEERING CONTROL. SINCE I WAS NOT GOING AT A EXCESSIVE SPEED I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY BUT JUST BARELY I WAS TRYING TO TURN RIGHT AT A INTERSECTION MY TRUCK WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT ALMOST BROADSIDING A TRUCK. DUE TO THIS I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPORT THERE IS TO NO TELLING HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AND THE CAUSE WAS DESTROYED IN THE RUBBLE OR THE PERSONS INVOLVED WERE KILLED. THE CENTER LINK HAD A CRACK IN IT I DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW IT OCCURRED. I BROUGHT THE PART TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN ASHEVILLE NC BUT THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT IT. BASICALLY IT IS OLD AND OUT OF WARRANTY IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE HAVE THE OLD PART FOR YOUR INSPECTION AND WOULD LIKE SOME FOLLOW UP AS TO WHO REALLY KNOWS HOW MANY OF THESE HAVE FAILED AND NO ONE IS ALIVE TO TELL WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. *JB UPDATED 07/24/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) |
| 1995 | STEERING:LINKAGES:ARM:IDLER AND ATTACHMENT | I OWN A 1995 TOYOTA EXTENDED CAB PICKUP. IT IS A 2WD CAR, NO POWER STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RELAY RODS FOR OTHER MODEL TOYOTA CARS COVERING MY YEAR BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR. RECENTLY, STEERING THE CAR BECAME UNSAFE (SOMEWHAT LOOSE). I JACKED THE CAR UP AND NOTICED THAT THE RELAY ROD WAS SEPARATING NEAR THE IDLER ARM. I TOOK DIGITAL PHOTOS. LOCAL DEALER EVENTUALLY PAID FOR THE RELAY ROD WORK AFTER CLAIMING IT, BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS FOR THE IDLER ARM & STEERING DAMPER, WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RELAY ROD & WILL WEAR QUICKER WITH A RELAY ROD SEPARATING LIKE MINE WAS. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA PLEASE REVIEW THIS MATTER AND ASSIST IN HAVING THE FULL PARTS CLAIM PAID. HAD I NOT CAUGHT THE RELAY ROD FAILURE AT THE TIME I DID, I AM INFORMED BY A MECHANIC THAT I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR (CATASTROPHIC FAILURE). TOYOTA INITIALLY FULLY DENIED MY CLAIM AS NOT BEING PART OF THE 2005 RECALL, BUT DUE TO THE DEALERS ASSISTANCE THEY COVERED JUST THE PARTS & LABOR ON THE RELAY ROD. I CAN EMAIL THE DIGITAL PHOTOS OF THE FAILING RELAY ROD. HAD IT NOT BEEN CAUGHT & CHANGED I AM INFORMED IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE / LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. *TR |
