What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 toyota tundra. The contact was driving approximately 35 MPH, and loss complete control of the vehicle. The vehicle swayed off of the road and crashed into several trees. The driver sustained severe injuries. The police was not called to the scene. The failure was contributed to a broken frame. The vehicle was completely destroyed and towed to an authorized dealer for further inspection by the manufacturers engineer.
On 4/18/09 I was driving my 2000 tundra and my spare tire dropped to the road and rolled into on coming traffic. No one was hit. I made an appointment with local toyota service station and had frame inspected. Was told frame is not repairable. This was a shock to say the least, have been driving toyota's for 25 yrs. This could of been a real disaster if I had been on the highway.
