VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR MY 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE FREEWAY IN LIGHT RAIN. THE STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND MY TRUCK BEGAN FISHTAILING. I TAPPED ON THE BRAKES LIGHTLY BUT THE TRUCK CONTINUED ACCELERATING FASTER. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CONCRETE BARRIER AND WAS PLACED IN THE AMBULANCE. I NOW SUFFER FROM LOWER BACK AND POSSIBLE TORN LIGAMENTS IN THE NECK. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF INCIDENT WHERE THE STEERING VEERS OF FOR NO REASON AND SOMETIMES THE STEERING SHAKES WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

TIRES:BEAD
I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 2700 MILES, UPON SEEING (2) OF MY TIRES WITH LARGE BULGES ON THE EXTERIOR SIDEWALLS I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THAT THE DEFECTIVE TIRES BE REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING CONCERNING MY TIRES. UPON TAKING MY TRUCK TO A FIRESTONE DEALER(THE TIRES IN QUESTION ARE FIRESTONE) I WAS TOLD BY FIRESTONE MANAGEMENT THAT THESE TIRES WHERE OBVIOUSLY DAMAGED BY IMPROPER INSTALLATION. UPON TEARING THE TIRE DOWN THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE LARGE CUTS IN THE BEADS. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY STILL REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. THESE TIRES AND TRUCK ARE THE SUBJECT OF A TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 06V-061).THE RECALL STATES THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL TRUCK WITHOUT INSPECTING FIRST, THIS WAS NOT DONE. IT STATES THAT TOYOTA WOULD CONTACT OWNERS, THIS WAS NOT DONE. IT STATES THAT UPON RETURNING SAID TRUCK THAT ALL TIRES WOULD BE REMOVED AND INSPECTED, BAD TIRES WOULD BE REPLACED @ TOYOTAS EXPENSE,NON OF THIS WAS DONE. INSTEAD I WAS ACCUSED OF DAMAGING THE TIRES BY HITTING CURBS YET FIRESTONE AND GOODYEAR CANNOT FIND ANY SUCH EVIDENCE (BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED AND DOES NOT EXIST). THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN OFFERED TO WORK WITH ME ON REPLACEMENT TIRES.(THERE GOING TO SELL ME REPLACEMENT TIRES? DAMAGED BY TOYOTA???) I WAS ALSO TOLD OVER THE PHONE BY TOYOTA THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM THAT I COULD NOT CLAIM THIS TRUCK WAS A LEMON, IT WAS A DEALERSHIP PROBLEM. THIS WAS AND IS A BASELESS LIE. THESE TIRES WERE DAMAGED BY TOYOTA AT THE TOYOTA FACTORY UPON INSTALLATION AS NOTED IN THE TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL. I CURRENTLY AS OF FRIDAY HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO WAIT NO MORE THAN 2 BUSINESS DAYS FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME, MAYBE IN 4 DAYS?? WHILE I DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE TRUCK, OR HAVE NO TRUCK AND NO WAY TO EARN A LIVING(I NEED A TRUCK THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT ONE)*JB
