What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
While sitting at a stop light was hit by a drunken driver, and consumer's vehicle caught on fire, and driver was killed. Family was trying to find the cause of fire if it was more than the impact.
Started downhill, wet pavement, touched brakes to slow down, brakes locked both times, started to spin. Hit another vehicle head-on. This is intermittent problem.
The vehicle had only liabiliy insurance at the time of the accident, so allstate paid no money. A claim was filed through firestone. After sending the failed tire along with pictures and estimates of the vehicles (there was a motorcycle in the bed of the truck at the time of the accident), firestone had sent me a reply back stating that the tires tread peeled due to an improper repair.
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.
Tl*the contact owns a 1995 toyota pickup. The contact stated that his vehicle was included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 05v389000 steering linkages, rod relay connecting. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the contact was informed they could not repair the vehicle since the idler arm was stuck within the steering column. Approximately five years later, the contact attempted to turn the left turn signal but it would not respond.
