What owners wrote
Steering loss and separation of the ball joints from socket causing a crash. At the time the two failures occurred, it caused the front passenger side wheel & tire to buckle under vehicle causing the vehicle to skid between 250 feet to 300 feet before stopping. This incident proved that the vehicle was completely uncontrollable due to the failure of manufactured parts on this vehicle. Notice of such "recall from toyota" could of prevented this incident if a notice was received.
There was a burning smell coming from the driver's side wheel well. Over time the smell became worse and was accompanied by smoke. The consumer had this problem a total of 4 times where the smell of burning and smoke was excessive and overwhelming under the wheel hub. The seal, bearings, and axle was replaced but the problem still existed.
