What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 toyota tacoma. While driving at 2 MPH, the contact stated that the vehicle would pull to the left. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the tires were replaced, rotated and the steering aligned. The contact stated that the failure continued. The current and failure mileages were 6.
Steering is very loose on off road driving / or "washboard" type road- there is currently a toyota TSB (technical service bulletin) #0119-10 out right now with a solution to the problem. Solution= replace intermediate shaft. After reading all the posts online, this needs to be a safety recall. My truck only has 85,000 miles on it with loose steering. And has been like this for some time!
